- pessimizer 5y agoWhereas most people most people who believe unfounded conspiracies suffer from a profound distrust in authorities and channels of information that are often deceitful and secretive, and turn to hucksters in a desperate search for an explanation for why the most powerful forces in the world are always lying to them. You really don't think distrust in government is fueled by an untrustworthy government - that everyone who distrusts now would distrust no matter what the government does or does not do? You make an excellent case for ending all transparency or ethics monitoring. Haters gonna hate, right?
