Looking at the course of history, it's clear that governments have a tendency to stretch their power beyond set boundaries, often bypassing checks and balances until people are left with no choice but to resist, at times even through violent means. If we're choosing to live in a society where the state is seen as legitimate, it's crucial to remain vigilant and ready to counter any government overreach. But there's a bigger picture here. The morally consistent approach is to work tirelessly towards shifting society's tolerance for the existence of a state at all. It's about questioning the very foundation of state power and its legitimacy. We need to engage in a deeper conversation about the role of the state and strive for a society where individual freedoms are not just protected from government overreach but are the central pillars of our social structure.
