DragonKing Dark: Distrust of government and each other

I’m sure you’ve noticed… we are having a hard time getting along with one another lately. Even the simplest of things seem to trigger people. One would think simply asking the public to wear a mask to slow the spread of a disease would be met with, “Oh sure, that’s easy.” Instead, it’s been met with wild eyes, slobber, and the insinuation that this easy request is an act of humiliation and enslavement.

Seems like there’s something deeper to it. And there is. There is a reason that Karen is going nuts in Walmart, there is a reason people are destroying property and burning cities, there is a reason we distrust even the mildest things the government asks and are now turning on each other. We’ve been conditioned to do it.
