Not the Government, the globalists and big tech. Government is just taking advantage of the greed and control the tech and globalists are implementing. But in fact, government is subsidizing much of it with our taxpayer’s money. So they are just as complicit and just as guilty.
Is the driver of a get away car innocent because he “technically” did not actually physically go in the bank and rob it with the others? That is always the government’s defense of these things that enslave us.
All of those people in and around government are just members of the set of people destroying civilization. Their affect is merely more pronounced than what the rest can muster. The problem is the greed, selfishness, and lack of ethics and morals shared by the total population. The government people didn’t cause the rot, they just made the most out of it.
That has been your constant angle on the situation. I have not been enslaved, and I don't think you have either. People chose of their own free will to follow the destructive course.
