Source? Because that assumes that this is the normality. Which is interesting as a statement, although of course it massively depends on your local government, but not everyone lives in Syria or so.
This always gets carted out, and yet then people always have to point at the same dozen or so big things in hundreds of years of gov history, and never mention the possibly billions of non-abused trust moments in the same space of time.
I think healthy skepticism when it comes to the government is good. Especially if people want transparency. Holding them accountable for abuses is even better, but has been less than ideal in practice over the years.
Unfortunately, people tend to skip healthy skepticism and dive right into conspiracy driven paranoid delusions, and lack of government accountability does feed into that mindset. Combine that with Maga propaganda, fox News, and other extremist media and we've got a shit show.
Edward Snowden immediately springs to mind... You can add in most of the law enforcement agencies in every country with the presence of the internet and cell phones. How many eyes are we up to now?
That's not what the question was about? I mean sure, if you stop after that exact word and immediately hit "reply".
History...
I love how nobody reads beyond that word and completely misunderstands the comment. Such a beautiful example of how America got so 110% politics-illiterate.
USA checking in with a very short, nowhere near comprehensive, list of the more egregious breaches in trust by the federal government; local and state governments undoubtedly have more to add: Business Plot left uninvestigated Kennedy Assassination and the Warren Commission War on Drugs Bush v Gore decided by Supreme Court for Bush despite losing popular vote which led into... 9/11 and Weapons of Mass Destruction - wars in Iraq and Afghanistan justified by lies
As I said in the other comment, your reply also exemplifies how people can't even hold an attention span for more than a single word any more, and as a result completely misunderstand something. I'm sorry, but you exactly showcase how modern political weaponization of internet reactionism works.
If multiple people are misunderstanding you, maybe you're not being very clear...
Or they're all americans! Ha! Need to create tiktok videos to hold their attention for the 2.3 seconds I'd have.
