Not any more. Government appears to be all about stealing as much as possible from the people, starting wars to distract from crime, and shutting up anyone who disagrees.
I mean... that was its original purpose. Sure it can be used for other things but systems often revert to the purpose they were designed for.
People often forget that kingdoms and fiefdoms and empires and military states are types of governments. And they suck to live in. People got so comfortable and distanced from our ancestors fighting against those forms of governments that they're unknowingly and some knowingly fighting to return to them. You want a strong daddy type to crush his political enemies, to raid the coffers because he can and has complete control over the political bodies, judicial system, institutions, and people? Congrats, you now have a mad king, the kind your ancestors defeated because it was so oppressive and deadly to live under.
