They make laws that claim to be for everybody but are only for people who aren’t rich or powerful. The rich and powerful can commit bribery, human trafficking, murder, and more without consequence but yet jail people for doing the same thing. It’s like parents who swear all the time but punish their children for swearing.

    Not all government. Government is actually really good and useful. In the hands of psychopaths and grifters it becomes an edifice to tear down because it offers protections and rules.

    Anyone who says “government is the problem” fundamentally does not understand the role of government in society.

      The reason I said governments in general was I didn’t want to single out any particular country when lots of countries are like this. I agree that government isn’t inherently bad if done right.
