A strong state erodes trust between individuals while increasing dependancy on the state, as you allude to.
Local decentralized trust between people is less likely to be betrayed or corrupted, so it's more stable and reliable, while trust on centralized institutions and a tiny minority of experts is a bigger honeypot for bad actors and a single point of failure.
