"'Government' can't care. It's just an agreed upon idea, not a thing with feelings."

But it consists of people with feelings - and they can have feelings of care towards the governed, or just feelings of care for themself.

Yes, people can care, like software developers can care, in my example. But the thing that is created (government, software) does not.
