I'm not afraid that our government is a bunch of tyrants. I openly recognize that fact. It's just that I'm looking at their actual policies and ideologies instead of pulling stuff out of my ass. You see, when you can explain why they are tyrants and use real evidence to back up your case, people are more likely to be persuaded by your arguments.

If I say Stalin was a bad ruler because he ate babies, that's not going to convince anybody, because I can't back up that statement with any solid evidence. Accusing bad leaders of doing crap they didn't do only serves to make that leader look better, since people see right through your lies and then they start thinking "Hey, maybe this leader isn't so bad after all. If his opponents are lying about him in this case, maybe their other accusations are unfounded too".
