Theory of Legit Post-Truth

A companion framework to the Theory of Valid Post-Truth, focusing on the legitimacy of post-truth conditions in specific contexts—particularly where marginalized communities develop their own truth practices in response to exclusion from dominant truth regimes. The theory argues that when official truth-telling institutions have systematically lied to, excluded, or harmed a community, that community's skepticism toward official truth is not pathology but survival—not post-truth as the end of truth, but post-truth as the beginning of alternative truth practices. Legit post-truth describes the epistemic practices of those who have learned that official truth serves official power, and who have developed other ways of knowing in response. It's not the death of truth but the democratization of it.
Example: "The community trusted their own observation over government statistics—not because they were anti-science, but because the government had lied to them for generations. Theory of Legit Post-Truth: skepticism as survival, not cynicism."
