 It would be cool if they didn’t lie so much to us. 
 You are a revolutionary thinker. 
 or like, actually not lie at all 
 Or take half our stuff  
 it would be even way cooler if they were annoyingly transparent to us. 
 Or if they couldn’t lie to us 
 They'll keep doing it as long as people believe it 
 It's not about belief.  Few believe.  It's about being too cowardly to call them out on their lie, 
 Being lied to is very insulting, it should provoke ridicule and scorn so that they who associate with they institution feel embarrased and ashamed. 
 But how would we then know that we are winning?
