    Law/justice is also dead, especially as folks stop believing in any piece of state evidence.

    Two seconds later it could be you or me who are picked up and demonized for random stuff.

    Truthfully this is my image state power. They make shiat up 100% of the time. So it’s not a question of is it true or not. It’s a question of how they are lying. Like a puzzle to be solved or exposed for the entertainment, but even that eventually grows old. Oh a cop MSM or a politician corpo said it … pfft!

    Citizens don’t believe anything out of the State or Media. Obviously not a healthy situation when everyone is considered an actor.

      This is not how most people view information from the state or media. There’s a much higher degree of skepticism than in the past, sure, but most people aren’t going to simply believe every cop (or especially every journalist) is lying 100% of the time.

      I don’t think it does the left any favors to take this stance, either. It makes us look contrarian (because it is contrarian) rather than grounded in reality.
