An extension of your quote would be consider that governments not only pay no price for being wrong, but they actually profit most by creating human suffering.
Governments thrive when the masses are maximally scared, poor, and uneducated.
But hey - the masses will also repeatedly fall for misdirection, security theater, and the promise of something for nothing. So we are not blameless in this equation.
