The problem is that we have the media playing the role of activists and opposition for certain ideas and politicians. They don't just report what's going on, they feel the need to give us an earful of what they think along with it. We don't feel the connection to our leaders because they are so far removed from our lives. It should only be normal to accept what someone tells you when you have a connection of trust them and they have proven it to you. In today's world, our leaders and experts are pixels on a screen. We have people on a mic in front of a camera telling us what is going on, rather than us looking outside for ourselves. Wrongthink-detectors AKA "fact checkers" rush in to tell us what to think. It all goes against the human experience. It's so shady, and their actions and suspicious behavior ring alarm bells. It's a system designed to squash dissent and sensible dialogue.

There has been so much abuse by various employees of government against the people, that the employees of government have given up what otherwise might be considered the "benefit of the doubt."

Today, they are suspect and presumed guilty (like they unlawfully presume of us), unless they prove themselves innocent.

They are not "authorities" simply because they have a job in government. That is a factual falsehood.

Where in the Bible does it say to blindly accept leadership? Or an I missing the sarcasm? https://files.catbox.moe/f48tfb.png
