Unless you've encountered anarchists, few truly think all government is terrible. Rather it's that government must always be scrutinized. Who will will intervene on you're behalf against a government that can have you castrated under an assumption that you're mentally deficient enough to deserve it (Buck vs Bell)? At least one can have his day in court against against another individual. However, thanks to broad interpretations of the 11th amendment, qualified immunity, and national security laws, the means to achieve vindication against government abuses have grown narrower.
- jrm4 4y agoWrong way to think about it. A lot of people, if interviewed, will never say out loud "All government is terrible," and yet will still knee-jerk react as if it is. I assure you that I can find a TON of people who will reactively cheer any reduction in "government" regardless of harm, who would never say they are anarchists. This is many, if not most, so-called "Libertarians."
