Counter question: "Why do most people (mostly) trust their governments?"
Now
that is a question worth asking!
Because they chose their government.
but do they really?
Yes, in democratic countries they do.
Just because a lot of people on this forum doesn't get it their way doesn't mean that the government isn't chosen through the united democratic will of the people.Wrong.
I didn't choose this government. I chose an alternative.
In thIs system it doesn't matter what I choose. I get the choice of the mob forced upon me.
The illusion of choice is vital for maintaining control of the population.
