I read it.
I just interpreted as "government icky" rhetoric that is very common around here.
Corruption is a tool of any power structure. Gesturing vaguely towards it to invalidate any societal initiative is not an argument, it is just bad-faith whinging.
"Why build roads? The government can be bribed"
"Why trust the courts? The government can be bribed"
"Wefare? The government can be bribed"

- lostlogin 10mo agoNot OP but I’d say that your argument sounds like the libertarian one whereby all government and all regulation is bad. If that is your position, point me towards a place where libertarianism has worked.
