Is this how the American state loses legitimacy? Not through any of its crimes against humanity, its failure to provide a decent life for its citizens, but through drinking the individualist kool-aid to such an extent, its populace becomes ungovernable? I mean, a large segment of the American population has gone full General Butt Naked, invincible to outside influence through sheer determined solipsism. The hogs walk, and neither toxic chemicals nor state violence nor social norms can stop their march. A sovereign citizen plows through a crosswalk (as is his right as the captain of a land-borne seafaring vessel), but phases straight through the pedestrians because they didn't agree to his violation of their private property. A child is born sans parents and immediately gets a job. He's your boss (baby) now. The scariest thing the deep state has left to control their hogs is a never-ending procession of balloons they can take pot shots at while yelling something about China. I am projecting that the Presidency of the United States will be a rotating prize on a gameshow, and the winner gets to order one free drone strike on their neighbor. It can only get funnier and stupider.

Chicken vs egg. The failure to provide a decent life encourages the toxic individualism. When you’ve literally never had a positive interaction with the government, and never seen government services do anything but fail or make people’s lives worse, people lose trust in the government and won’t even listen when it’s needed.
You need to have years of actually assisting people and courting trust through smaller everyday programs in order to have the social capital to do things like evacuations or pandemic prevention.
