Then how would you describe a process in which people have to make it known what they want instead of leaving it up to guesswork? All alternatives explored so far just leads to death, misery, and a small portion of the population having a benefit while the rest suffers. And anti-government in general seems to be stance that often comes with "I don't like it", but without a solution and the only thing I've seen so far is people coming up with a "let's do nothing" alternative. That's not a real alternative at all because it doesn't solve anything. Either bring something else that also works, or accept that the best we can do so far is come up with imperfect solutions.
