'Flooding the zone with shit', have a read. This is how very bad people have managed to destroy trust in expertise in society. Meaning every person is now a supposed expert on everything, and actual experts on things can't get a thing done because they have to wade through this flood of shit. All very deliberate, so that people will then place their trust in a 'Great Leader', like Trump, rather than in expertise of various forms. Putin was a pioneer, "to engineer a fog of disinformation, producing just enough distrust to ensure that the public can never mobilize around a coherent narrative."
