Government: it lies


Government lies. That's obvious. Even a minimal level of awareness will force a person to see it.

It should also be obvious that the lies all skew in one direction: to make government seem less harmful, less evil, more competent, more essential than it is.

It's also obvious, since government still exists, that most people believe most of the lies. They believe the ones they want to be true, while rejecting the ones they don't want to be true. (Politics makes people stupid.)

They might believe that cops are the good guys, that the government military is securing "our freedom", or that anti-gun rules and Flock cameras keep us safe. Maybe they believe environmental laws protect the environment, or that govschools educate children. Some seem to believe that only a government can create a long, smooth surface.

Why would anyone believe these things, against all objective observation? 

Because government told them so. 

And even if they know government lies about the things they don't believe, they'll fall right into the lies that they want to believe. They leap in with their arms wide and their eyes closed.

And they'll hate you if you don't join them.

Hating their fellow humans. Choosing a criminal institution over people. All because government lies.
