I think the origin of it all on a civilizational level is around when convenient lies were allowed to flourish. One might argue when that started in earnest, up North I remember people being upright & honest in the seventies, then diverse psyops and this general phenomenon got going from the early eighties.

It has also bred generations that almost worship the state and corporations, simply since their whole, personal psychology is NOT about what is true at all, it is merely about what is convenient and easy to handle for a weak mind…

Even when never going fully along and certainly resisting it all I found it hard to get rid of the last remnants of this, it definitely feels like some sort of mind virus!

And based on all of this then it is of course very easy to get the verdicts you want, even with those passing them not being fully aware of what is going on… If aware at all, of course…

No wonder Kafka wrote that wonderful short story about turning into a big hahaha
