it's very disturbing to realize everything you’ve been told is a lie and that one of those lies is that the people with the most power tried to poison you.

I don't believe most will ever reconcile that in their lifetimes. I grew up in Africa, so I learned early on that governments are not our friends. My parents and family are all grew up in communism, so they had first hand experience with it.

Westerns live comfortable lives and are lulled into a false sense of security by their governments, and explaining this without prior experience is very difficult.
