@mrhorsetwat @Tfmonkey once you realize that the government is just a mafia full of criminals and thieves who have a massive infrastructure and monopoly on force, then all the evil shit they do will make sense. Never trust that they work in your best interests or represent you.

@ButtWorldsMan @mrhorsetwat @Tfmonkey At least you can derive some sort of benefit form the mafia (i.e. protection from random street crimes) but the fed and police will arrest you for defending yourself or your property. The Italian mafia is a better alternative to our current government

@Mike_Microwave @ButtWorldsMan @mrhorsetwat It's because the mafia is motivated by money, not politics. Politics involves manipulation and irrational emotion.

money is simple and clean. You can understand and compromise with someone who is interested in money. you can't compromise with someone who is acting out of emotional morals or politics.

@Tfmonkey @Mike_Microwave @mrhorsetwat There have been incidents with the mafia (I think Dank's mad lads has covered them) with internal politics involving power struggles and muh respect. But the mafia is small scale and generally insular, so their politics aren't as wide sweeping as "official" politics.

@Tfmonkey @Mike_Microwave @mrhorsetwat it's like a corporation. Internally there's definitely political faggotry involved and clusterfucks to deal with, but the public facing aspect is just business. With the government the clusterfuck is also publicly facing.

@ButtWorldsMan @Mike_Microwave @mrhorsetwat Correct. There are always political power struggles within the executives of major companies, but they just want to make money at the end of the day.

@Mike_Microwave @ButtWorldsMan @mrhorsetwat @Tfmonkey Exactly many criminals have better ethics than government.

At least with criminals you get something in return. Government will only fuck you over.

Like drug dealer that takes your money but will not give you drugs.
