So we get people rising to power and then enforcing rules that make people be like robots.
What's the value in doubting the message?
According to Kloro, the message is primarily "I exist, believe this one guy I randomly chose when he says that I exist".
I want to believe true things and disbelieve false things.
If this thing is true, then I want it to be believable. As it stands, it is so self-serving that I can't believe some people accept it.
