    I’m a libertarian and I’m not opposed to a strong central government. I think government only works when it has the power to militarily dominate any competing force.

    I just think government should be simple, to minimize the number of ways it can break down and end up becoming a tool of the powerful to oppress the weak.

    We currently have a set of laws that’s like twenty feet long when you print it out, bind it, and put it on the shelves.

    That’s a lot of complexity for malicious code to hide in. A lot of places for petty tyrants to set up shop and spend their life hurting little people under a government seal of authority.
