"Trust but verify" --Ronald Reagan
There used to be a saying, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet." Somehow it's been forgotten.
Not saying the article is false or contrived. I'm saying we just don't know since it's anonymous, and therefore I take it with a grain of salt.
- systemvoltage 6y ago“Trust but verify” - That doesn’t work anymore. Western values are being eroded. Sadly. Sounds alarmist but I feel like the west in next decade is going to have to deal with a lot of “Distrust and ask for verification”.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y ago> That doesn’t work anymore. Western values are being eroded. If I’m reading the origin of that phrase correctly, it’s actually Russian (not Western) and Reagan borrowed it.
