Your description of the gradual erosion of truth is both haunting and spot-on.

It really expresses the notion of how disinformation creeps in slowly but steadily, weakening our ability to discern fact from fiction.

The metaphor of "death by a thousand cuts" is powerful, illustrating that it's not the big, blatant lies, but the accumulation of small ones that do the most damage.

It’s scary to think how skepticism, which was once a healthy filter, now veers toward paranoia, making trust a rare commodity.

I think fostering trust and media literacy is the only way we can reverse this trend, but as you say, it’s a collective responsibility that requires constant effort.

Thanks for sharing!
