[contingencies]

Despite the downvotes I'm inclined to agree with you. For a recent counter-example, Robert David Steele is an ex CIA open source intelligence analyst who didn't become numbed and deluded like this and actually has some meaningful anti-statist insights about the world at large. You know, gems like:

Human beings, who had spent centuries evolving away from slavery, were re-commoditized by the Industrial Era.

We are at the end of a five-thousand-year-plus historical process during which human society grew in scale while it abandoned the early indigenous wisdom councils and communal decision-making. Power was centralised in the hands of increasingly specialised 'elites' and 'experts' who not only failed to achieve all they promised but used secrecy and the control of information to deceive the public into allowing them to retain power over community resources that they ultimately looted.

We live in a constellation of complex systems. It is impossible for any single person or even any single organization or nation in isolation to understand complex systems.

It is our obligation to speak of what we know as we know it, not dissembling or deceiving. This could be considered the 'moral truth', and ultimately it is what can be validated by others so that a consensus can be arrived at and shared.
