(1,313 posts)Could it be that, for one, there are always "experts" to be found for any side of position? That the media, which is very corporate controlled, will skew which experts" views are presented? This then would lead to a real lack of trust and confusion.
Add to this the fact that people often have a difficult time actually researching and figuring our things for themselves. You see, to be able to do that, you must first have a general opinion and position of what you think is right, what is wrong, and how things should work. You must also be willing to take in new facts to change that opinion over time. Today's society is degrading. It is becoming more tribal and isolated, except for maybe a few positions. That is not good.
Finally, we are sliding into Fascism. Let's face it. People may not understand this, or the reasons for it, but their lifestyle is degrading and choices and hopes are becoming less and less. In essence, while people are not sure why, they do know they are getting fucked in the ass more and more, and lube and kiss are not provided!
So, experts, rather than helping to clarify, are often just another piece of the shit flying around.
