People aren't believing the government because the government is telling the truth. Everyone knows the government is lying. People are believing the government's lies, not because they're true, but because it increases their feelings of safety and security. Our culture is based on violence and tyranny being directed against anyone questioning the lies, while the people not calling out the lie are celebrated, adorned and showered with positive re-enforcement. Our entire society is based on mind control and schizophrenic fracturing...not logic, morality, fairness, ethics or democracy.

I particularly love that part.
