        You get your liberals that are fully fans of the system but even among those who aren't and do despise their own government(s), which is a lot more, they usually seem to think it's them - the individual - holding up civilized society as some sort of Atlas figure, along with a few (houndred) thousand of the other good ones or so. Sort of like a very micro version of great man theory
