Yes, it’s complicated. I once had a 30 minute “conversation” with a Swedish woman who argued that the “government” should control EVERYTHING...name it! Well...they control immigration and the media so suck it up!
I once got into a conversation with a French man while in Japan. We talked about the Fukushima nuclear plant and if the Japanese government was being honest about the radiation. I mentioned, “governments often lie about this stuff”. His response was, “yes, they do, they should have the French government do an analysis, then we’d know the truth!”. I sat there shocked at the naivety. Smh.
They’re programmed to think “it’s the governments job”, not realizing the dangers.
