And it is clear to me that you're just arguing based on whatever points suit your narrative and idea about how governments ought to be.
Well, that seems very wishful and 'theoretical' to me.
It's not the reality and never has been. Governments can only exist by stealing and coercing. Try not paying taxes to your government for not providing you adequate services and see what happens. And try offering the same service to people around you in a peaceful manner and see what happens.
That alone is an invalidation of your entire argument that governments are needed to realise the principles I care about. But you seem persistent and dodge this fundamental flaw. You have failed to convince me of the validity of your position.
Maybe you are living in a different reality than mine with your baseless fantasies about a moral government that is benevolent, ethical and beloved.
But that's not how governments work in practice.
They never have, never do and never will.
