Perhaps your apparent attitudes and values you've expressed over the
years-- unstandardized education, child "neglect", uncontrolled private
weaponry, land-ownership and markets-- speaks closer to the dialect than
you realize of a government you apparently love to hate.

If you want to be flippant, disingenuous or cryptic, that's your
prerogative, and, again, seems along the lines of some of the values or
modus operandi of your very own pet-peeve of a government.
Dictatorships and the like come and go, but their core values, attitudes
and styles remain.
