The problem with governments is that they were designed with the merely dishonest, incompetent or greedy in-mind. They, and society, were not to designed to mitigate psycho-pathy and/or delusion - the parts that manage that at all kinda just fell-into place for other reasons, and don't work beyond the local level.

Meanwhile, the psycho-paths in-office and their psycho-pathic/socio-pathic handlers, want you to believe your psycho-pathic neighbor is the problem. You know, the one you merely suspect and label due to factors that probably amount to tribalism and what you each have been told to think?
