When state institutions act in a way that benefits them (keep out the riff raff, support real estate appreciation) or they think the force of government will only fall on others there are fewer cries of "freedom"/"liberty." For another example see the reactionary movement "all lives matter."
- laretluval 5y agoIs it bad to want state institutions to act in a way that benefits you? Isn't that "government for the people"?
- supertrope 5y agoNo. I guess my point is that self-interest trumps high minded ideals.
