Is it normal to be constantly afraid of government?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Contemptuous is the right word for me
Depends on what you mean by "normal". It's "normal" in the sense that most people probably are more or less afraid of their government. That's not what it should be like, if anything, it should be the other way around.
People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. Or at least according to V. 👺
Yea the point of that statement is "people", I, only one of the 8 billion on Earth, ain't gonna make much difference alone.
Yes, they have flamethrowers.
