I would have said around 15-16, but I think it's also important to note that there are many degrees of trust between blindly trusting everything the government does and becoming some kind of "sovereign citizen".
I believe the government often doesn't act in the people's best interest and that many politicians are fundamentally corrupt. I do believe our institutions mostly manage to uphold our constitution though, and that my country has a functioning democracy. I don't keep all my money in cash at home, that seems both paranoid and unsafe.
That's a good point. What is the line? I think for me it is two things.
The voicing. Saying to others I do not trust them - usually followed by discourse and reasoning/grassroots activism
Taking steps to protects yourself/or obscure - for example starting to use cash or taking steps to avoid being surveilled.
I sound like my dad...keep ya cash close and tell em nothing
