Ten minutes of scrolling shows me that Twitter overwhelmingly *assert* that things are true to mean 'I agree with this opinion.'

That's no better. We can agree with all sorts of things that may not be true. Need to distinguish common version of true with scientific one

I just don't see the world PoMos see when they say they need to convince people that truth is about perspectives.

I think the opposite. Humans very much inclined to think their own perspective is true & need to be convinced to check their facts.

Totally agree with that. Pomos confuse doxa (to believe) with episteme (to know). But they also get Nietzschian perspectivism wrong.

Oh! Sorry. Their confusion between belief and knowledge I have given a lot of thought to. Their relationship with Nietzsche, not so much.
