    Disingenuous actors constantly assert authority without evidence. If you accept their authority uncritically, you are being radicalized.

      Dude there are more people in California than any other individual state in the US, it ain’t that hard to believe their claim. Secondly their opinions match up pretty damned well with a lot of Californians, maybe not most but a solid majority hate the feds.

      Regardless while I generally agree with your point, it’s largely non-applicable here simply because it’s basically an opinion I’m pretty sure a lot of folks have been thinking. Even if it is intentional propaganda from a malicious source there’s basically nothing to this beyond fuck the feds. Which I’m pretty sure is a widely held opinion in the US.

        Their opinion matches up with your opinion, and confirmation bias is giving you quite the emotional reaction.
