The government wasn’t designed to protect the country in defense.  It was designed to stamp the authority over the population.  Social disorder is created so they can seek new Hitlerites abroad.  What was once a divided country is now a unified one.  Of course, all of those war making activities are funded by those living in that territory.  People are sent around the world to fight people they don’t know that aren’t a threat.

The state is a coercive organization.  It’s not just utopian to pretend they can solve all problems.  It’s utopian to pretend they can stay limited because it’s written on a piece of paper.  The trend is clear.  The entire world is heading towards totalitarianism.  The occasional step back is taken to appease the masses.  A complete disregard of reality gives you the illusion of security.  Heading towards totalitarianism is thrust into high gear when there’s an “emergency.”

A new fictitious emergency will cause people to overlook their judgment.  As Lord Acton pointed out: so-called great men, in the political realm, are generally bad men.  They aren’t the angels they present themselves to be.  A good rule of thumb: the most vicious people gain control of the state.  Elections are a farce.  That is where who the best at being the worst is selected.  It’s expected that the worst rise to the top.

It’s more than simply tolerating a bad situation.  It’s allowing total destruction of the human race.  The sheep are being led to the slaughterhouse and they’re taking the non-sheep with them.  Being elected allows you to dominate the plebs.  Domination leads to more social disorder.  The overlords are making your life worse because it’s good for them.  This is no better than making a deal with the devil.

What animal is dumb enough to select the worst to lead them?  Many are fooled by the Nirvana Fallacy.  Any quick reading of history will show you that a perfect society is unattainable.  The state can’t make a utopia, they can’t make anything better.  Your liberty must be violated first to provide a service.  The middleman gets paid too.   It’s impossible that they can provide you with services equal to what they have taken, it must be less.
