Why do you have such a stick up your ass about the government being good guys?
Because they're intoxicated on unbridled idealism.
Wait, what? Being untoxicated on unbridled idealism is what makes the government good? Am I understanding you right?
First of all, since am I one of those government being good guys your original question makes no sense. I say that those who believe government is all bad and that society would be better off without are the ones who are intoxicated on unbridled idealism and lack understand of human behavior.
I see a spark of a good point in this but, but its floating in some shit. Let me clarify. Yes the government does not consist of 100% corrupt and generally nasty people. A small fraction of people involved in politics in general actually do care, and would do anything in their power to better the freedoms and quality of life enjoyed in any modern culture.
But.....
The vast majority of all politicians use their position to obtain a wide variety of benefits at the expense of others, or are employed by corporate intrests which use them as a proxy for these goals. This is just a FACT, man. The vast majority of all mankind would behave this way, because they really don't care about the welfare of others in layered extremes. Some outside their country, demographic, demographic of their country, race, religion, immediate family, themselves, etc.
Lets keep it real bro. Lets look at the world with our big boy glasses and see it for what it really is. Dog eat dog.
