But if you looked at how you’ve structured this post it implies as if we’re fighting the "government."

In this Us vs Them scenario, which is somewhat true, it only escalates conflicts further towards division, it’s a somewhat anarchist take, ultimately the government is us in a sense, if the world was consumed by bad incentive structures, bad power dynamics and unexamined ideologies, what would that government look like? Probably a direct reflection of the people who are in charge today, if we have a solid foundation of hierarchical values things might look a bit different, but I’m personally unsure if a society can properly function without some form of centralised control function or hierarchy, because as humans we unwittingly do it anyway through our evolution.

Freedom can come into conflict with morality, not everyone is a good person, so the natural consequence of this is usually a form of centralised power. It’s full circle. Great post, just reflecting on the complexity of it, it’s hard to find a remedy really.
