  • Civic religion cargo cult, they’re dazzled by the power of the state over their lives (like, idk, speed limits and bans on raw milk) but also don’t understand where it comes from or how it works so they’re reduced to ritualistically mimicking its language and symbols in an attempt to wield the power for themselves.

    How do people convince themselves that this is real when there are so many videos of people with similarly melted brains proving that this absolutely never works?

    It’s a question of faith, not evidence, like any religion.
