It astounds me how many people are clueless as to what government, by its very nature, is.
They'll often believe that a government that violates your rights, imports migrants, encourages crime, punishes defense, and steals your property is somehow doing something backward. Scott Adams was referring to this as "reverse government".
What a buffoon!
Anyone who can think rationally will see that government acts this way because that's its nature. It's how it is designed to function.
Only if you've been brainwashed otherwise could you possibly believe these are signs a government is operating in reverse. In which case, there may be no hope for you.
Or, maybe it will gradually dawn on you, one atrocity at a time. Political government is evil.
