It's very confusing how consent is super important everywhere but immediately put aside when it comes to government. Could we not do consent and government at the same time?

Possible but it would be highly inconvenient and people wouldn't like the consequences. At the very least we need referendums on all the big contentious issues.

"Consent of the governed" is the founding mythos (whether that rings true for you or not) of democracy.

Ah yes, that terrible tyranny of being connected to the grid and having to pay into the maintenance of it. How dare they? Fascist scum!
