I think part of the reason we keep blindly trusting centralized power is that we don't really have much of a choice. It's basically part of our culture to not make a big deal about anything, because to do anything else is to be "stirring up shit" and "causing an unnecessary and destructive uproar". This includes outrage over the government. The prevailing line of thought is this: they don't target you personally, everyone else has it as bad as you do, and you can't do anything about it, so what can you do besides suck it up and pray for the best?
