When you have an evil democrat/socialist/statist tyrant like Obama as its head government is a nightmare
Gov has grown too much and is too powerful .government needs to have checks but how do you check a fox with a wolf, 2 areas of gov checking each other?
Capitalism has checks as there are competing interests as in walmart vs workers vs other companies etc., these companies don't have the power to use force us to do anything , the only power they have is to try to influence our choice to buy something with advertising.
People can see the forest but not the trees.
Mundane example, but when parents comply with some silly rule that school backpacks must be clear vinyl so that contents are visible, they are playing into the hands of authoritarians. Conditioning is still the most powerful shaper of behavior and attitudes and by the time students graduate they may be rebels in their own minds but are as programmed as an IBM mainframe.
A seat belt law here, a DUI checkpoint there, CCTV, etc.
I note that the only place Obamaites don’t want technology and surveillance is at the polling place.
