There are plenty of examples that some people are currently living in a post-truth world and they do it for a variety of reasons. Some do it to fit in, not only going along with a litany of lies but championing them as well to show the other members of the club their loyalty first and foremost is to the clan. It's the kind of behavior adolescents exhibit during the stage of development where association with a group is the central point of focus. Most people grow out of it, some people become angry cynical loners. They are the argumentative type because they never did find a group willing to accept them during that stage of development so they carry those resentments like luggage and lash out at the world until they find some sort of internal resolution.
Others don't believe the lie but they don't speak out against it either because they are afraid of the consequences. The Soviets employed intimidation to control people and the lie was a big part of it making it all work. They didn't care if you believed the lie, so long as you lived it. In fact, that was the ultimate exercise of power, making people act like they believed things they knew were not true. They did so because they were afraid of what would happen if they dissented. The LGBT fascists picked up on that and are doing their best to employ those tactics in pursuit of their agenda. The thing is, they are being controlled by an even more insidious and nefarious faction who use them as a bludgeon to brow-beat their political and social rivals into submission. And with each small victory, they inch further ahead, the whole frog gradually boiling in the water routine.
Again it's not the lie, it's not a matter of you believing the lie, it's a matter of you living it, saying nothing when you know you are being lied to, accepting the lie as a cultural norm. We all know a man can't be a woman, yet most of society just looks the other way, unless it directly affects them, then they are forced to deal with it. But they almost always find themselves on an island because the institutions that used to protect society from demonic contagions have either abdicated that role, like the church, or have gotten in league with the demons, like the government.
But at the end of the day problem is always the same. The problem is us. The problem is always living the lie and accepting that this is just the way things are in a post-truth, post-constitution, post-faith world where the father of all lies is now allowed to operate in the open.
"And thus, overcoming our temerity, let each man choose: Will he remain a witting servant of the lies (needless to say, not due to natural predisposition, but in order to provide a living for the family, to rear the children in the spirit of lies!), or has the time come for him to stand straight as an honest man, worthy of the respect of his children and contemporaries?... If we shrink away, then let us cease complaining that someone does not let us draw breath—we do it to ourselves! Let us then cower and hunker down, while our comrades bring closer the day when our thoughts can be read and our genes altered." ― Alexander Solzhenitsyn: Live Not By Lies
A time for choosing.
