Lies will always be more appealing than the truth.
Govt power is and always has been about telling the best and most compelling lies.

"the chief task of the rulers is always to secure the active or resigned acceptance of the majority of the citizens.
For the masses of men do not create their own ideas, or indeed think through these ideas independently; they follow passively the ideas adopted and disseminated by the body of intellectuals. The intellectuals are, therefore, the “opinion-molders” in society. And since it is precisely a molding of opinion that the State most desperately needs, the basis for age-old alliance between the State and the intellectuals becomes clear.”
- Rothbard
Gonna disagree with you here Guy.
When Unions form or Tenure is introduced for lecturers, fundamentally leftist ideals, they’re seeking to redress genuine power imbalances in the status quo.
The problem is they can’t logically deduce where those things will inevitably lead. And when they inevitably lead there, they refuse to acknowledge the problems their systems created.
Gov is no different. It’s instituted for collectivist ideals; when it inevitably leads to failures, adherents prefer ignoring them especially if they’re not personally affected.
The founders don’t intend to build an institution based on lies; the third/fourth generation must resort to lies to maintain the institution.
The longer it goes, the more lies told, the worse they look but they don’t care; they’ve got the backing of the OGs who normies revere so it perpetuates itself.
Humans are too pattern driven to deal with constant revolutions and we intelligent people know how destructive those are to wealth.
No good answer to the problem, just wanted to give you more to consider.
