Government is established to support the people. Ergo, supporting the government is the best course to support the people.
I'm guessing that you base the assumption on the current task of the government from the populace's POV, correct?
Based on the social contract, Magna Carta, and John Locke's Treatises of Government.
I don't know what all that is, and I don't need to to see a different POV.
You should too. Here's the lead:
The government governs.
Who are the subjects? By what power do they remain governed?
People allow themselves to be governed in return for protection (primarily through the rule of civil law). The law of nature isn't sustainable; it proceeds society, and if that society decays into despotism, it follows as well. That's a shitty way of summing up Locke's second Treatise, but I would recommend you look into them.
"I need these people to work for me, so I will hire them, then I will make them do my jobs. Great, now I have enough money and power to make these areas mine, and if people wish to live in them I will tax them. Oh no, people are revolting, I better improve living conditions so that they don't bring me down."
People don't revolt because of a necessary use of the power invested in the governing power, they revolt because of extensive overreach, corruption, or totalitarianism. If that so happens, a return to the law of nature follows and the cycle begins anew.
The point I was trying to make is that the person who got all of those things, or all of that power in other words, wasn't an authorative figure. He just wanted to make money and get power because he could. Thing is, he was smart enough to realize that he couldn't be so careless, and so he appealed to the people a little. The people become content, and he's on his way to make more money and gain more power.
But he is an authority figure. You don't have to be authoritative to have authority.

Also, no. It's easy to think that we're in the safe 'cause the government is doing stuff for us, but they're essentially protecting their cattle.
I haven't stated that government is infallible, at all. Actually, that's entirely wrong. The point is that certain natural rights are given in exchange for the security of society, to protect their other rights and assets. This is the social contract. Government governs solely by the power invested in it by the people. For a people to thrive, a government must be in place to support that growth, and give it direction. Supporting government isn't blindly accepting everything that's given: it's making sure that it continues to support the needs of the people.

With a smile. A creepy one, probably.
I'd do it dressed as a clown, prefferably.
Nothing like leaving permanent psychological scars and trauma associated with clowns
I like your thinking.

Your psyche is weak.
You're both limiting yourselves.
You're rude.
to be fair, haven't you stated in the past that you wish society would start embracing sexuality more, instead of treating it as such a taboo? or was that about something else
might have been nudity actually, i can't remember
not that i agree with that mindset--i don't, at all
Desexualizing nudity was my want. Still is, to an extent.

Thinking of people I know in that sense is really uncomfortable. Lust is a terrible thing.
Mostly this and just, the thought of doing that and seeing them the next day or something is unsettling.

I thought it was universally agreed to exclude you from all generalizations about people.

the taboo of it makes it arousing imo
The thought that somewhere out in the world, there might be somebody wanking off to me is slightly uncomfortable to think about.
think of how many people youve fapped to
just one person of many
Imagined persons, or someone quite intentionally putting "that" business for public display. Fantasizing about Becky from accounting is just weird.

maybe if you know gross people
I would be uncomfortable if I knew someone was beating their meat to the thought of me. How would the reversal be any different?

Not taboo, just decidedly unarousing. It's just... gross.

Government is established to support the people. Ergo, supporting the government is the best course to support the people.
Both of those propositions are highly questionable.
Is it not the responsibility of government to unify and support its citizens? Not necessarily through service, but by the organization of law.
