    The less government there is,the better it works!For instance,ARPA was somewhat responsible for the development of the internet,but it was at tremendous expense ,and it was a belligerant symbol of the Cold War.The internet would have been created by ATT and other telecommunication companies because its capabilities are demanded.

    So if the government only attracts power hungry people then perhaps it is a permanently flawed system that cant be fixed? because no matter what it will keep attracting megalomaniac flies to its violent fiscal debited pile of bullshit. Take away the power structure and there’s a vacuum that the power hungry will never be able to fill again. which is why they need you to believe it. to quote Game.of.Thrones. “Power resides where men believe it resides; it’s a trick, a shadow on the wall”

It is a antiquated power structure that one should realize serves nothing but itself not its captures ahem.. i mean citizens.
