I dont think they see it in terms of lies or truth. They see it in terms of what benefits me and what can I make other people believe. Thats it. Truth is irrelevent, and strict adherence to truth is seen as a sign of stupidity.

They simply cant fathom why someone would tell the truth if its not advantageous to them. They figure people who do that are simply too dumb to lie effectively.

I actually saw an ashkenazi jew on ruqqus ridicule sephardic and mizrahi jews over their alleged lack of lying ability. He basically said they’re too dumb to subvert goys.
