Different governments have varying degrees of alignment with your goal. Despite how flawed the US govt is, I don't see how someone can think the US govt and CCP are equivalent in their misalignment with your desire.

If the government couldn't do that to you and other people don't you think others would abuse you instead of the government? In that case your interests are aligned.

I think that’s a very cynical outlook on society.

I take it you’re not a huge fan of the US constitution?

The us constitution has either authorized the government we now have or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it has proven to be unfit to safe guard the natural rights it was created to protect against the onslaught of authoritarian policies that have largely ignored all limits placed on government authority
