>We end up with a situation where people are gaslighting each other; it creates a general state of total confusion on the internet and in society at large.
Sounds very familiar...
>population to stop believing in the government as an institution
There's an opposite side to this though. For every one person that says that the government is at fault, there are two that demand governmental intervention.
Well if you're going to fix the problems we have you will need to wield power. What would you call that apparatus used for wielding power?
I get what you're saying though. People have faith in the system rather than understanding the system needs to be replaced with a better one. One where we're not being forced to bankroll our own destruction.
There's a lot of tools that have been used to wield power. There's only a few that a 'civilized' society will accept.
It's just frustrating on how many people are so willing to throw themselves off a cliff followed by those that will force others to jump.
That's a bit of a tortured metaphor.
