Easy: they're just dishonest
how are the people who normalized “speak your truth,” in which the concept of objective reality ceases to exist, the same people asking for centralized truth arbitration

I don’t know that “speak your truth” negates objective reality. Maybe for some, but for me the phrase means “speak your experience that really sums up your world view” and nothing so philosophically grandiose as commenting on the nature of truth and reality itself.

I take a more empathetic view than most. There is a group that lives so deep in an echo chamber of convincing arguments and reinforcing data that they truly believe “the others” are a small minority. Changing that view is like converting a didn’t land on the moon person.

None of this makes it ok. But I sympathize with someone who simply doesn’t have the language to see an alternative view.

Related: "speak truth to power." Depending on who's the power, depending on your truth.

Just to note: I've only seen "speak your truth" used in discussions that center entirely on subjective opinions to begin with, e.g. social constructs of gender or whether racists are good people.

When I was a kid tho there was some amount of "objctive reality" around gender (it was obvious and widely accepted boys and girls are different from one another.) Only recently have we decided gender is a social construct.
