I'd argue we've been living already in a post-truth world.
It's bizarre to think that you can know the truth on the internet.
Because by the very mechanism of language and concepts, you're always abstracted away from truth.
Not to mention layers of bias, management, interpretation and re-interpretation.
Truth is experience, everything else is a belief.
There was an idea that we were unified before the internet, but what that meant was that most people were receiving the same propaganda.
The information channels were fractured by the internet, meaning that control across it was impossible.
I'm not saying this comment is even truth, it's another opinion biased by my own world-view, beliefs etc.
But trying to find truth on the internet is like trying to find a tasty book.
