There were a lot of horrible sovereigns.
You support this guy?
The government is evil. You disagree?
I don’t think government is necessarily evil.
I once had someone try to convince me that all corporations were evil. I didn’t buy that one either.
Many go into government because so many people in it are evil and they want to try to change that. Good luck. As someone once said, “What are we supposed to do? Bang against the walls?” No, just take on one person at a time, maybe.
I don’t think government is wrong just because they have to become more forceful about a particular thing. Consider law enforcement. What they have to do sometimes would make your hair turn white, but we couldn’t live in peace without them. Same with a pandemic.
What’s missing is trust.
