Why do people distrust authority at all levels?

Hmmm. . . I suppose you never had parents?

That is not true. All of the worlds problems are caused by those that feel that their influence should be felt by a broader range than of that where they live and are affected.

Eliminating that possibility can be accomplished.

My parents are not authority figures. They wished us the best and gave and taught us what they could. My parents are my partners.

You have the best job ever...

But to answer your question people are just tired of these authority figures poisoning our air/food/water, falsely imprisoning, oppressing innovation for profit, killing whoever they want whenever they want, and not being accountable for ANY of it. They are garbage.

Of course there's a few good guys peppered in here and there, thank GOD, or else this shit show would have ended a long time ago. Power corrupts and these authorities are living examples.

why do you think it's impossible?

We don't need governments to take care of everything, government is an illusion. We created government because we think we need someone to take care of us, but in reality we are a slave of a illusionary government. The people that pretend to be government are psychopaths and are robbing and murdering and brainwashing people. And because they act in the name of government they don't even feel guilty about it and you accept it and think you need it.

Look at your local supermarket, that's the proof we don't need government to make something efficient. I'm sure it's not your government running it.

The never stopped you from putting you hand in fire or kept you from running into traffic?

History indicates what you just listed has always been true. The difference is you now know of it almost as soon as it happens and can talk about it.

I did not see my option so will put it here


13) When authority figures serve themselves over everyone else and are riddled with lies and propaganda to defend it, why would anyone respect and trust them?

Do you trust liers?

Every thing you just stated is in the poll. But thanks for your input!

They taught me those dangers long before needing to exercise force.

Force is the key here. Why use force ad a means to protect? That is an idiotic, nonsensical method. Only a dumb fuck willing to bend over and take a stick in the ass could subscribe to that.

Nice thread btw op, people are thinking. 5* and karma.

Force is usually only used in a minimal number of cases. Do you think society could function without authority being exercised?

Umm if you went to school for 20 years, you have an associates degree. Congrats on all of that.

Thanks! Interesting take. Who do you think is doing the manipulation?

That is not how force is exercised, hardly. Yes, I do.

Give me some real world examples of your world without authority?

Some people are good, some bad... and some just don't care either way (the worst of us). At some point the bad gathered enough force through violence and lies to push this authoritative state unto all. That is where we at at today, and because of them that just don't care either way.

There aren't any. That doesn't make it impossible.

Interesting analysis. If more people were honest and cared would the balance shift?

Because the only real authority is The Most High God.

"This effect cannot be used to send information back in time," said Lijun Wang, a researcher with the private NEC Institute.

They are literally using time manipulation; be it 190 microseconds front running the market or data being sent to the past.

Then you are an idealist. Good for you! Yet, the world does not appreciate idealism. Sorry!

Absolutely. If the people in charge today had the ability to be honest or care their positions would not be considered ones of authority.

Excellent, however he seems to let us screw things up in the meantime!

The world has been told not to appreciate idealism, by the authorities.

Good for you, they told you to eat shit and you did. That sucks :(

Hmmm . . . Hmmmmm. . . met many caring people in high places, problem was not all were right about everything. Some were even destructive.

Because anybody who is paying attention can see universal lies, doublespeak, agendas and abuses.

The plain truth is that a government FOR the people, BY the people, cannot, by definition, have it's own agenda... and yet, they all do.

Rome never fell, it simply expanded and re-branded.

Fascism is the only true government. Ever.

So you have been a rebel your whole life without doing anything authorities have demanded?
