... they're to inspire fear at the power and impunity the government has to tell such obvious lies in the first place

we've seen it used as a regular tool in russia, china, north korea, and america. no doubt it goes on all around the world--the british government has told enough, for sure.

it's those blatant lies, often over seemingly innocuous things, that defy the clear truths... the ones that encourage collaboration rather than speaking out, that make it easier for the collaborators to rest easy, abdicate personal responsibility for thinking and determining their own morality in situations.

today, in america, we're seeing the clear effects of these lies on those who find it easier to just go along despite what their own eyes tell them--and the backlash amongst the rest of the population who believe in doing the right thing, who believe in justice and morality and thinking, believe in science and truth, evidence and fact.

so, to all the collaborators posting here, eat heartily, sleep well, make the most of it cos it's not gonna last long.
 
the police forces lying to you are also seeing the backlash, thanks to technology

Three days after 87 million people watched video of two Buffalo cops slam a 75 year old man to the ground, the Buffalo police department public relations department continues to insist that the man "fell".

Who to believe, the government or your own lyin' eyes? :rolleyes:

And the RWCJ copsucker platoon immediately sprang into action here...oh noes, just a few bad apples! The Buffalo PD riot squad immediately tendered 57 resignations to remind us...it's not "a few", it's every single one of them.

We can't afford masks for frontline doctors, but every cop in America seems to have his own rocket launcher. This is why we need to #DefundThePolice
 
Republicans don't spend all their time dwelling on what the govt is doing. The Founding Fathers set up a pretty good system. Y/w :)

Voting all Republicans out in November, for starters. We threw the last of them out locally here in Houston in 2018. Now we have to finish the job at a state and local level.
