The western world has been enamoured with Lies and Stories.
I have been seeing this trend in my industry which lead to a significant amount of distress for me a few years back. Many people value a good story over the truth and facts, I often see this from people on the Left, but it's not only isolated to the left.
I found I could progress my career better by telling a compelling story to leadership that got me up the ladder rather than presenting hard truths. It was extremely frustrating since I am a man of science, data, and objectivity.
Thankfully, I found an environment where facts are important and our leadership team will call out bullshit, but it's not universal.
People are too focused on making themselves look good, rather than working towards an objectively better reality. All these little lies add up, and soon we don't know what objective reality is anymore.
This is why, IMO, people care about what celebraties say, why leftist spouting out emotional rhetoric are compelling people to ignore history, and we put up "experts" instead of the nerds and craftsmen who actually build things and make a difference.
Look at the hate Elon Musk gets from loads of people, while he is actually building the future and innovating. People are constantly looking for ways to tear him down because he is willing to stand up to the status quo.
Trump is another innovator who has shifted the overton window, and the normies are unable to handle this. It breaks the story.
We must stand up to this, and fight for TRUTH, and OBJECTIVITY
This a global problem and it all boils down to Good vs Evil. People know that The Truth will set them free but the road to hell is wide and easy to follow.

i.e. highway vs stairway
Well-said!
