government

Currently, a body of people charged with the administration of a given society, who may claim to be official and legitimate—and who think they take action in the public interest—but who are, in fact, not genuinely official, as they hold office at the whim of public mood; certainly not legitimate, as they authorize action contrary to life and the laws of nature; and generally not public-spirited, as they frequently ignore the concept of the common good in their deliberations.

The chief executive of the US federal government lied to US citizens and the world to start a war for the interests of a certain few business entities and perhaps his own low self-esteem, and with the complicity of the US Congress, systematically murdered many thousands of people in the pursuit of freedom and democracy for those people and brought international disrespect toward his own nation, and promulgated more violence in an already troubled world.
