Normal people will never find convincing that governments do certain things for power/control.
Only time I saw them questioning the powers that be was when the Pfizer CEO recommended booster shots, and then they went, "Ah, you're only saying that because you want more money!"
But that's because they're projecting.
All these peasants want is to never work again and to lead an easy life -- that means money.
They can never fathom what power and control can be good for, or why one would even want to amass it.
They're basically simpletons.
Some people are just not driven by opulence and luxury and immense overflowing wealth.
For every greedy corrupt bastard like Hermann Goering, there's a power-hungry megalomaniac like Adolf Hitler who cares little for material extravagance.
