It’s so frustrating to watch people I’ve known for years, who grew up resisting authority and distrusting government, start believing professional politicians, marketers, and other liars who would own society just because they started stealing your words and wearing your clothes.
Politics hasn’t changed. Those who would rule did not magically become trustworthy. You just suddenly became useful to them when you could vote, pay tax, and die in their wars, so they learned to tell lies you’d hear.
