The smart ones don't need wikipedia to know that authority should be distrusted.
You just need one bad teacher or school admin and you should be able to figure out why you should be skeptical of all authorities, including your parents. (They could poison your food or even stab you in your sleep... so, stay alert kids, stay on guard at night π)
(Okay that last part I'm just half-kidding... but your parents could technically do it and you have no defense against that... π)

I don't trust government because of the things I know my government has done.
If you don't trust your government, then perhaps instead of just saying "American problem", list the things you know your government has done.
That is a rather short list.
just some highlights
is this list exhaustive?
nooo
I agree with almost all this list, but Building 7 pisses me off a bit

Because two of the tallest buildings in the world collapsed right next to it, causing structural damage that lead to it's collapse.
BuT iT lOoKs LiKe A DeMoLiTiOn.
What do you think structural failure is meant to look like? Do you think it's meant to look like Jenga bricks falling over? Like do you really think two of the largest buildings in the world collapsing next to a comparatively small building like that is going to do nothing?
The reason why you don't see surrounding buildings damaged when they're demolishing something like a British Tower-block is because they time the explosions precisely, shore up anything that might get damaged and evacuate the area. Do you really think the same thing would happen if two of the world's largest towers had their floors slam down on each other like a squeezebox, and then had the cores collapse right next to them? Do you, hand on heart, think a building right next to that happening, wouldn't suffer structural damage?
Wanna know something about 9/11? If the US government wanted to do a false flag, they wouldn't fucking bother doing some long winded scheme involving thermite or explosives or missiles disguised perfectly as planes that can be debunked by people who think Occam is a razor company. They would just like whatever of the 101 major terror plots that are being planned against the US that they know about happen. Why spend millions of dollars doing it yourself when you can just fucking let the guy in Afghanistan and his buddies that you have been watching for a decade and change do what they have been planning.
That, or, and this is something people might not consider, as cruel, power hungry, and sociopathic as the world's governments may be, they are also made up of people, some of those people fuck up, some of those people are morons. The idea that the everpresent They, (The Enby that controls the world) is hypercompetant and hyperintelegent is just something people believe to feel safer when they trust the government, and more powerful when they don't.
Made up of people...
That sentence..
It is made up of flesh long lost to greed deeply drowned in overwhelmingly sad ego trips manipulated to do the bidding of hypercapitalist enormous autonomous demonic entities, that's also "made up" of people, each and every single one replaceable. The vd gone the layers gone the politicians gone it will regenerate new flesh and this flesh will do its bidding or also be made to let go of its lucrative benefits that include feeding its family and another of flesh will assume his duties until that flesh no longer can and then may we finally have peace as the planet has been divided evenly among the entities and they have eaten each other until one remain.
Multiple organizations within the US government received warnings about and had information on the 9/11 attacks like a month before hand, we knew it was going to happen and let it, that's a fact.
To be fair, I doubt that is what whoever made this had in mind but still it is a valid piece of evidence for not trusting the government.
It doesn't take controlled demolitions or fake planes with hidden missiles or anything convoluted like that, just money. I can't prove it, but I believe there are people in this world who cultivate extremism like it's agriculture, and for the right fee you can order up some extremist robots to do some extremist shit.
Ghislane was invited on the 9/11 shadow commission so I'm throwing my favorite conspiracy in the ring: A handful of people at the CIA and Mossad piggybacked on an Al Qaeda operation and let it go forward to destory evidence of crimes, steal billions and create a justification for war all in one move.
No thermite needed and it doesn't particularly matter if the Pentagon was hit by a missile or not it plays the same. Epstein files prove the rogue elements in the CIA have been there for decades. Very little hands on work needed, mostly strategic fumbling.

like this but rotated 90 degrees why
That is weirdly satisfying.
Especially when you're all stopped up
This is all American stuff. What about British, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese atrocities and coverups? God knows there are terrible secrets along them all.
Amnesty international is a great source for current atrocities nations undertake.
Get you own post, whatabouter.
It's less whataboutism and more a comment on how you should be at least mildly distrustful of any government
Why do people always forget the Dutch. :(
Unless youβve survived a Dutch Oven. #neverForget
Very few survive, in my experience.
Hell, just look back a bit for the shit done in the open.
I submit King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium. In Belgium he's known as "the builder king" because he spent so much of his own money to build parks and civic buildings and such.
Money that was acquired through what was described at the time as Crimes Against Humanity.
King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium.
described at the time
Hmm... I wonder when these..
Leopold II was the second king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, and the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908.
Oh that's not too long ago. "Sole owner of the Congo Free State" sounds like a contradiction tbh
