    For anyone following along, this is 100% what propaganda tries to do. Tells you not to trust anyone but them, tells you everyone but them lies. This is classic state actor behavior.

      I didn’t tell anybody to trust me. I’m telling you to question your own cult of authority. If you think the US is any different than any other cult, it’s because you’re brainwashed.

              False dichotomy. My alternative version of events comes from lack of trust in the government’s narrative.

                Yeah, sure dude. Then why do are you arguments ring of being a government actor?

                I don’t see any dichotomy here. You just work for the state.

                  In hospice, we call what you’re going through the denial, bargaining, and anger stages of grief. The truth is, you have no logical way to counter my proposal.

                    That which is present with with lies needs no truth to dismiss. I trust my fellow citizens, not you.
