post-truth 

relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less important in shaping public opinion than emotional or personal beliefs.

Post-truth relies solely on personal beliefs and ignores any facts that may conflict with those personal beliefs.

post-truth 

circumstances in which the truth is no longer reliably known or figured out (due to conflicting sources and the sheer amount of nonsense in the world, for example), and thus debates are often about which "facts" are actually true instead of what they mean or how to put them together.

A prime example of post-truth politics is voter fraud: conservatives and liberals don't debate about how to solve or prevent it, but whether or not it even exists in the first place.

post-truth 

Post truth is where public opinion is shaped more-so by opinion and emotion rather than objective facts. This seems to be a new term, in relation to the whole Trump thing. People act as if public opinion has never been shaped by opinion until now. Welcome to the hell we have all been living until you leftists had your fantasy land bubble popped!

Can we start advocating for inherent rights instead of using government as a weapon against our enemies? Can we think outside of just one issue, and realize if we want freedom in one area we must also support the freedoms of others because why the fuck would someone support your freedom if you don't support theirs? The answer? VOLUNTARYISM.

"These people against Trump act as if this is the first time government might become corrupt. Reality can be a bitch. Now research:Voluntarism, Mark Passio Natural Law seminar, Larken rose. Read and research all of that shit, and you'll see the post-truth has been around a long time, this is the Apocalypse FACTUALLY."

Post Truth 

A politically correct phrase for “fake news” or “alternative facts”—a hypocrite’s or Pharisee’s word for “bullshit.”

Thanks to their Bullshitter-in-Chief, most morally bankrupt GOP members have been lying comatose on their bed of post truths even before the pandemic struck.

Post Truth Math 

Also known as “Fake Math,” “Trump Math,” “Bigly Math,” and “BS Math.” Half-lies and conspiracies about or on math and math education, which look superficially or uncritically fun, but they are conceptually dangerous to most semi-innumerates and non-symbol-minded folks.

Millions of MAGA patriots have been brainwashed or radicalized to believe post truth math without questions, which has indirectly led to the banning of some math titles or classics in some puritan circles.

Post-Truth Scaremongering

The strategic use of exaggerated threats about the "post-truth era" to justify censorship, dismiss dissent, and protect established power from scrutiny. Post-truth scaremongering treats any challenge to official narratives, any skepticism about institutional claims, any alternative information sources as threats to democracy, reason, and civilization itself. It's the pundit who blames every political problem on "post-truth" without examining why people stopped trusting institutions; the fact-checker who treats all misinformation as equivalent, from genuine errors to legitimate critique; the establishment that uses "post-truth" as a cudgel against anyone who questions its version of reality. The scaremongering serves power by making dissent itself seem like a threat to truth—painting those who ask awkward questions as enemies of reality.

Example: "He called any reporting that contradicted the official narrative 'post-truth propaganda'—Post-Truth Scaremongering, using the concept of truth to protect power from accountability."

Valid Post-Truth

The recognition that "post-truth" is not simply a descent into falsehood but a transformation of how truth functions—a shift from truth as correspondence to truth as performance, truth as identity, truth as weapon. Valid Post-Truth argues that the old regime of truth (objective, universal, authoritative) has eroded, and a new regime has emerged where truth claims are judged not by their correspondence to reality but by their effects, their alignment with identity, their viral potential. This is not the end of truth but its mutation—truth becomes something else, something we don't yet fully understand. Valid Post-Truth is the attempt to understand this mutation without simply lamenting it.

Example: "He'd spent years lamenting the death of truth, the rise of lies, the end of reason. Valid Post-Truth showed him a different picture: truth hadn't died; it had transformed. Now truth was what went viral, what felt right, what performed identity. He didn't have to like it, but he had to understand it. The old truth wasn't coming back; a new truth was here."
