I agree with criticism of governments in these instances but in order to be more thoughtful we should be critical of _how_ the governments ended up in this state. In other words: I do not think that the government (as a concept) is the issue here. I think that the current (and decades past) American government is the issue. They are 100% corrupt and culpable but it is not inherent to every government.

Note: I am NOT saying you are ignoring what I've said above. I have just seen many people make poor generalizations about government because of their experience with the American government's inability to prioritize citizens over the networth of the elite.
