I am well aware of the atrocities committed by the United States government.
The overwhelming majority of government employees are just regular people working 9-5 desk jobs that don’t involve anything nefarious whatsoever.
Likewise, the overwhelming majority of scientific breakthroughs come from government funding. The scientists and administrators that make that shit happen aren’t bad people.
This shit is far from perfect, and we have a horrific and bloody past (and present, and likely future).
But there is nuance. You need to recognize that there is nuance. The world is not black and white.

Yep, that’s certainly one major aspect. And just look at all of the corporations already bending the knee and the guy isn’t even in office yet.
