Civilization and society is based on a foundation of trust. Lies are a violation of that trust, and thus each is an attack, however small, on that foundation.
Did you not see the effect of lies on the pandemic or this most recent US election?

Edit: When somebody who proudly proclaims that "I lie occasionally. Sometimes enjoy it too." denies knowing about something so widely covered in the international news, believe them when they say they enjoy lying.
the-dude: You have google and wikipedia. Look it up. No more excuses for ignorance and whitewashes for liars and blame for believers.
@Don : first, editting your comment is in no way the proper etiquette to discuss. Second, I looked it up, and apparently you are referring to this re-election campaign. Seriously, I didn't know about it.
Ignorance is bliss.
If you missed noticing that, you didn't look it up very well, and you're not being sincere.
There's really no point in taking seriously or continuing a discussion with somebody who brags he enjoys lying, and cultivates blissful ignorance.
If your blissful ignorance is really sincere, then you don't have much to contribute to the conversation.
Ignorance is bliss : practically, keeping up with the news doesn't really do much for anybody.
