The more guilty they are, the most desperately they lie. It’s all projection. (sh.itjust.works)

I have ALWAYS thought this. I could easily end my life by telling the wrong lie, but if I had any position of authority, I could literally lie constantly with impunity. It makes no fucking sense. It's often trivial to prove things are lies but we act like it would be impossible to force people to mostly tell the truth.
