Who buys into this crap? Clearly not people who still have at least one neuron still firing.
You have to be able to trust to have a functioning society.
If you can not trust 2 + 2 = 4 You can trust nothing.
At that point the center can no longer hold.
It is the same reason they want you to verbally confirm lies.
A boy can be girl.
People cause the world climate to change. The 2020 election was totally honest and fair.
Speaking lies changes society and it changes you.
Once there are enough lies you can no longer function as a person and the society can no longer work at all.
It is evil.
