Healthy natural systems are always characterized by intrinsic negative feedback controls that prevent the kind of destructive overshoots that we're witnessing in "a civilization that has gone bat shit crazy". Citizen skepticism and opposition to such a bat shit society's excesses are part of that negative feedback regulation, but they're instead treated as unpatriotic, anti-Semitic, as anything but the appropriate necessary elements of an entity truly worthy of the appellation "system". Without those feedbacks, it's not really a system, it's just a horribly degraded excuse for something else, some out-of-control beast.
