There’s always one part I find worth adding about government being ripe for abuse.

Everything is ripe for abuse.

———-

Right now, agencies are the defensive structures. Corporations which own media or parties that are effectively corporations - are the threat.

One of the specific defenses that’s employed by private forces is reduction in trust of agencies.

All systems are vulnerable. It’s a question of relative vulnerability.

It's also about dividing power and checks and balances, and the legitimacy of democratic government.
