I've researched a lot about how and why governments exist and can be so controlling, unethical, and unsustainable. There are so many tricks that they use to keep us in line that its overwhelming to get to the bottom of, and that's the point.
It used to upset me until I figured out that the powers that pretend to be only have control over me if I allow it by interacting within their systems. So I gave up money, driving, land ownership, etc, effectively cancelling any de facto or implied contracts with the control systems. Since the control systems have no contract over me, and I don't commit any crimes, meaning that I don't hurt anyone or their property, I decided that if illegally persecuted by obviously corrupt control systems, that I'd fight to the death before being locked in a cage.
Once freed from the bonds of civilization as we know it, I had the time to research everything I was ever interested in. This research showed me that government is only here for and only applies to those that need it. Those that need it are those that can't take responsibility for their own actions, well being, or defense.
Certain humans will always want and need government. No amount of logic can help them. They are products of the systems that they're dependent upon. There are very rare exceptions though.
All it takes to be truly free is accepting responsibility for your own actions, well being, and defense, and removing reliance upon the control systems by realizing the difference between perceived, indoctrinated needs, and actual needs.
Indulgence in and dependence upon perceived needs and luxuries like driving, public schools, land ownership, welfare programs, corporations, hospitals, courts, police, military, cities, roads, etc causes a lot of suffering and damage to the world so quite simply, the people indulging in and dependent upon them need to be managed or controlled. By continued participation in those systems, with the full knowledge that they are corrupt and detrimental to humanity and the environment, they are proving beyond a doubt that they don't have the ability to function without help, thus admitting their ineptitude and lack of responsibility. By participating in things that they know are wrong, they're also proving that they don't have the ethics to be allowed to roam free.
Those that realize that their true needs are food, water, shelter, and community, and figure out how to provide these things independently, self sufficiently, and sustainably, are very unlikely to cause personal or environmental damage with their lifestyles so they don't need to be controlled. Very few people have figured out how to do these things but once they do, all interaction with the corrupt systems becomes totally voluntary and largely unnecessary.
To me, posts on the internet that are trying to explain how these control systems work could be compared to someone standing on the porch of a falling down house and yelling the house rules at me when I've given up on the house and am in the yard chillin in the treehouse that I built myself out of all natural materials.
We're all assumed to be idiots that need to be managed like livestock until we prove otherwise so we are contracted into the control systems for management until we can prove, through our lifestyles, that there is no reason to control us. Once we have proven that we can be independent and personally responsible by sustainably supporting ourselves, the de facto contracts that imprison us become nullified.
When you think about it all like this, it becomes very clear that the problem isn't the systems themselves, it's the insanely huge ratio of the people that need the control systems compared to the ones that don't. The control systems were actually a pretty good idea in the beginning. The problem we have now is that the systems are breeding people that will need the systems, creating an unsustainable population/government growth loop and enlarging the control systems to the point that they are actually threatening the environment to the point of imminent human extinction.
The only way to stop this cycle is to realize the negative effects that our lifestyles have on the environment and the freedom of others, negate those effects by living peacefully and sustainably, thus removing both our need for, and our support from, the control systems. When there is no longer a need for them, they will dissolve on their own.
