- A healthy suspicion of centralized power is a good thing.
- Hence, one ought always to be suspicious of the government having too much power. (Liberals, don’t be naive.)
- But when you believe “the government always fucks things up!” or “the government just wants to take away my liberty,” well, this sort of dogmatic, religious belief in the evils of government is equally naive.
- Like any institution, the government can do good or harm. Take it seriously and, like, get involved.
