It is hard to understand unless we take two things into account:

1. 'Government' 'education'
2. The fact that so many people need the state apparatus to keep up their Livestyle and will vote for anyone promising to keep it going or even hand out more.

People want more government because they think the government is on their side. In reality the state is the weapon of big Corp, and without it they are nothing but a paper tiger.

But we have learned to blame capitalism. And we do what we are told.

In the empire of immorality, morality is an act of treason...
