There is a common form of social dysfunction that manifests itself through repeated denials. And anyone who dares to actually speak the truth, which everyone seems to already know & just really want to deny, is labeled some flavor of the worst evil imaginable. As though the idiots believed that never saying it would have prevented it from actually being true.

It's like people took those self help, limiting belief slogans, way too seriously. Those things are really just a hack to get people out of a negative confirmation bias cycle. They aren't supposed to be a justification for weaponizing your delusions against any undesirable wiff of reality.

Jung confirmed

“Whatever is rejected from the self, appears in the world as an event”

When you get down to it, the sooner you come to the realization that denial and or dishonesty are both immensely wasteful, especially from the viewpoint that time is the ultimate currency…the sooner you realize that conversely the best way to “spend” that time would be to simple BE, honest.

Due to interactions with other persons or entities that may seek to exploit your honesty, it may be prudent to not expose yourself by releasing data to be consumed by said entities, which is an understandable survival mechanism, however you can achieve the same outcome whilst making the choice to NOT be dishonest or disingenuous.

Lie to the govt if it will save you from further enslavement. Otherwise it pays to recognize that lying in general only enslaves you to perceptions of others which you now have to work to maintain.
