We live in such a fucked up world that people with good intentions need to lie so they can have a bit of protection against those who would use them as a scapegoat from people who abuse those good intentions, even though everyone knows it is a lie.

FWIW and don't take it personally, but i do hope you are wrong and overreacting.

People that refused to tell obvious lies that everybody knew about used to be burned in a plaza or just thrown away from society.

In fact, they are still thrown away from society. Just in a slower manner. That's some progress anyway.

(I agree entirely, but one should endeavor to make that statement the truth to avoid the sharp end of the stick.)

That fucked up world is called the world, and the world as it’s always been. None of us has to like that, and we can try to change it, but it’s still the world. Ignoring reality in favor of what we want to be true is magical thinking.

Reality changes if society stops accepting it.

See: literal millions of people marching in S Korean streets in recent years because their gov was corrupt.
