- colordrops 6y agoAlways this talking point whenever anyone suggests they should tell the truth. What else should they lie to us about because the public supposedly won't react well?
- crocodiletears 6y agoIt's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more the state lies, the less we listen to it, and the more we start looking out for ourselves, and disregarding the public good. Government officials see us behaving like this, they assume we're too dumb and self-centered to do the right thing, so they attempt to manipulate us in order to get us to behave properly.
