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.

I’d probably be more worried if I lived in Russia, or China, or Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan, or a ton of other places in Eastern Asia, Central America, the Middle East, or Africa.

So given some three or four dozen or so comparatively worse options, you’re probably not that bad off in the US. But of course they are not perfect either.

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.
