Scott Adams: our trusted institutions recently lost all credibility

[Twitter]

If it seems as if every one of our trusted institutions recently lost all credibility, that is an illusion. They didn’t suddenly get worse. You got smarter. Trump did that to you. It wasn’t planned. But it was predicted.

#1 We need them to lose power.

How much credibility did Soviet institutions have through most of the USSR's existence?

#3 Charger - They didn't have much credibility to us, looking in from the outside, but to a lot of people (a plurality, if not the majority) inside their country, Soviet institutions successfully brainwashed people for decades.

#6 It is the MSM and academy who are lying and brainwashing.

Those are the primary sources, all right. From there, as that eminent physicist Albert Einstein noted, the shit rolls downhill.

#8 @#5 (JFM) - I was thinking mostly along the lines of the state-run education system, but I can think of DoD and the silly "mandatory" training that is conducted or the gimmicky nonsense such as a 1SG wearing high-heeled shoes to "feel" what it's like to be a woman to commemorate something PC.
