I reject your story. I don’t trust the government.
False dichotomy. My alternative version of events comes from lack of trust in the government's narrative.
Yeah, sure dude. Then why do are you arguments ring of being a government actor?
I don’t see any dichotomy here. You just work for the state.
In hospice, we call what you're going through the denial, bargaining, and anger stages of grief. The truth is, you have no logical way to counter my proposal.
That which is present with with lies needs no truth to dismiss. I trust my fellow citizens, not you.
Do you get a lot of input from your fellow citizens? Do they all pull from the same sources of information? Do they ever approach that information with a critical eye, or do they blindly defend what they think they know like you do?
They just don’t trust people like you. Simple as that.
They only know their fantasy of me and the fact that I question their perception of reality. Nothing more.
They know your a state actor. They don’t need to know anything else.
