bottom line: never trust any authority. there may be authorities that help you resist worse authorities, but that doesn’t make them good, that makes them a temporary expedient on the path to freedom. sideeye them the entire time you’re working with them
Any authority that is legitimately good and has your interests at heart doesn’t need you to give it trust. It will earn your respect and support, and trust should be unnecessary because transparency would make the “…but verify” part effortless.
When I was a kid in the 60s, I remember hearing calls to “Question Authority,” and I took it to heart, and it became a part of my personality. It’s natural for me to be skeptical of anything I hear from any authority.

My doctor is an authority. Can I trust her?
trust her expertise, but not her authority. authority is power over another person and there is a history of doctors abusing their power over patients (in particular against LGBTQIA+ and indigenous people)
