Ironic use. "Truth" in this age is what your target audience wants to hear.
Regarding objective truth, it still exists, but it doesn't much matter. I know it when I see it. You know it when you see it. But of what value is it when people are so polarized they adhere to narratives regardless of whether they're factual?
This semi-famous statement, credited to many and claimed by none, seems increasingly less cynical and more factual every day:
"The truth is useless. You have to understand this right now. You can't
deposit the truth in a bank. You can't pay rent with the truth. You can't
buy groceries with the truth. The truth is a useless commodity that will
hang around your neck like an albatross-all the way to the homeless
shelter. And if you think that the million or so people in this country
that are really interested in the truth about their government can support
people who would tell them the truth, you got another thing coming.
Because the million or so people in this country that are truly interested
in the truth don't have money."
