      It really is and for reasons we may not be considering here in this thread.

      In many authoritarian and fascist regimes, you want the public to become disenfranchised and depoliticized. You don’t want them to have any interest in politics other repeating than the party line. It’s easy if you can just go around saying well, they’re all corrupt so don’t worry about it.
