I can fully agree with this.

I don't think it's even an established colloquial meaning of the term. It's like those people who use 'literally' to mean 'not literally'. It has been bastardized so many times that now it's actually an official dictionary sense of the word. 'literally' can literally mean 'not literally' now. Maybe that will happen with "truth".
And dictionaries track languages, so maybe it's already happening, maybe there's already a sense of the word 'truth' that means 'what I personally think that may not actually be true at all', and sure language grows like this, that's the way language works... I'm not going to not complain at all though because it's annoying how there are so many dumb fucks who can't use words correctly that often they get to redefine the language.

I agree 100%
