Lies and disinformation rule politics and culture now more than ever

The Trump pullout of troops from Syria is one more action that leaves American's wondering who and what to believe. Who benefits in the short term, or in the long term? It is very difficult to see, especially when the media who report on these thing is full of lies and disinformation. When a cease fire is broken between combatants we don't even know who broke it, it be could be broken by an outside party, false flag operations disguising the actual source of responsibility have become common. It seems like the normal world of our nation and culture has morphed into the lies and disinformation world of intelligence agencies.

How did this happen? It seems like when the old warrior code was more prevalent among our leaders with the certain virtues of courage, honor, loyalty, integrity and selflessness, we had fewer lies and disinformation in the culture---the fall of religious virtues had less to do with it. And lies and disinformation seem to be more prevalent among non-warrior people and non-warrior cultures who often attack the warrior code.

I don't want to sound naive about the world, of course warriors also use lies and disinformation, but they use it in war against the enemy and not among their own people...Perhaps when a nation and culture becomes diverse with competing ethnic groups then lies and disinformation naturally become more prevalent in the culture. That is one more reason ethnostates, and ideally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, are the best political configuration for kin-centered and ethnic-centered human beings to live within. In any case, lies and disinformation are now ruining our politics and culture.
