I agree with this. I'm just saying it can be confusing, because typically the doomsayers/1984/conspiracy's are on the right, and the right professes a love of individuality and freedom. But then the 'right', turn around really want to restrict 'freedom's for people they don't like, typically along religious grounds. So yes, governments can have bad actors. But figuring out who the 'mob' is, and who gets what freedoms, and how to solve the problems of democracy are really not clear cut. And maybe my point, I think a lot of the current situation is not bad-actors so much as idiocy. Is the government really a monolithic evil, or just top heavy with bafoons sitting over a large middle management just wondering what is for lunch.
