Incorrect, and dangerously delusional. Yes government can be a huge threat– nonetheless, it does indeed keep us safe. That is why dictators always emerge after resolutions– because lack of strong government authority leads to
1) fights over power
And
2) lawlessness
Both of which make citizens VERY UNSAFE. We are historically very lucky to live in times that prevent us from getting direct experience of real instability.
We need to learn to think intelligently about that world, rather than using crude political rhetoric.
