Is your government your friend or your enemy ?

Government is a bloated corrupt liberal utopian nightmare full of globalist scum who are hell bent on controlling humanity, ushering in the machine/automation/surveillance state age while simultaneous destroying personal liberty.

It is a deep state and cesspool of parasites who are power hungry mutants out to destroy logic and common sense. It is an enormous and out of control technocratic tyranny leviathan which is now being fully exposed for the fraud it has become. The only way it currently survives is through its left wing puppet propagandist press/media which is becoming a joke to anybody with a half of brain.

One president knew that government was the problem, another president embraced government.

----Reagan at his first inaugural:
“Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”----

----Obama at Ohio State:
“Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems,” Obama told the audience at the Ohio State commencement ceremony. “They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices”.----

Common sense and logic verse wishful thinking and illogic. It is up to us to decide and understand who was right and who was wrong.

It depends on who controls it.

The right wing narrative of 'Big Government' = evil establishment is false and dangerous because it leads to weakening the power of democratic institutions over corporations. Less big Government in practice means more inequality.

Democratic Government needs more power and needs to be free from corporate interests so it can be a real friend.

It's a necessary annoyance

Actually... a spy 😲

Depends which of my government's we talk about

Well it's largely corrupt and or incompetent. So I view it more like a clumsy bully rather than an enemy.

Sometimes it feels like an enemy.

hi pezzza
frenemy.
Best wishes
:)

both, as with other frenemies.

another thing to ignore

:)

enemy

They are not my enemy as they are too powerful. Not my friend per se, either. You know the old saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

The current government would consider [b]me[/b] an enemy: non-white, female, educated, leftist, not one of the 1%.

I couldn't care less about my government
