This is the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year.....

post-truth – an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’.

Now use it in a sentence

"I can see this thread getting moved to the Politics forum. "

Shouldn't do, I'm more interested in other uses of the word

It reminds me a lot of the word "truthiness" coined by Stephen Colbert. It means: "the quality of seeming or being felt to be true, even if not necessarily true."

I think both words reflect the current ontology of factual evidence in our modern politics and social spheres.

I didn't understand the definition which means, I guess, I wouldn't known the truth if it hit me between the eyes. That is probably why I think I still have an appeal to women

Well, I'd say a good number of threads in the forums are full of post-truth!

Somewhere in North Norfolk

It's all due to Brexit and Trump, apparently.

The sentence I would reccomend would be a minimum of one year.

In 40k universe it might be used by choas forces after "enlightenment".

Or after a regime has fallen like the nazi's, allied forces made the civilians tour the death camps.
