Yes, I gather the "I have my truth, you have yours" is often a PoMo deconstruction move to ignore objectivity.
I think this whole thing is about critical thinking, and not being naïve about the fallout from mega corporations and power games. It's about how advertising became propaganda and coercion. It's about how will democracy work at a planetary level, rather than this broken "stakeholder capitalism" which looks like global fascism. It's about how the environmental movement made up of people who wanted clean air and water, became co-opted as a greenwash for everyone's manipulative agendas.
I would add it's about humans building systems which are too complex for us to understand, and they become pathological. It's a kind of complexity evil, where the sum becomes evil even whilst all the parts seem well meaning.
“...seem well meaning”? To some, perhaps. And one might ask “Well meaning for whom?” No doubt every chosen action seems well meaning at the time for the one performing the action. But well meaning for anyone else? In the case of a sociopathic actor only for a few. I've become quite convinced that the global top dogs are evil beyond my former worst imaginings, and consider the general public vermin to be subdued by whatever means without mercy. These unfathomably evil oligarchs know that should enough of the masses wise up to how they've suffered at their hands, their days of ease would be numbered, as recent events in Sri Lanka have shown.
