It's an important part of fascism. The idea of objective truth is devalued, so that truth comes from authority. It doesn't matter what evidence exists, or if this week's reality is consistent with last week or even itself. The point is to sell the narrative on an emotional level.

What I'm saying is that this isn't some cultural phenomenon that just happened. It's organised and intentional.
