Yeah, they're atheists. If you remove religion, the only thing that keeps people in check is a tyrannical government. When you remove government, and there's no religion to fall back on, chaos takes over. It's the only reason America was ever possible to begin with, and the only reason it's now falling apart.
Early Americans were largely moral and religious, and saw government as overbearing and unnecessary. Their morality was rooted in their religion, so it was rather consistent and unchanging, while government is always pushed around by fads and fashions . Now that nobody is religious anymore, they're all crying for big government to step in a take control. They're emotional "spiritual" dingbats with no moral compass to guide themselves by, and government is no substitute.
Eh, they're slightly correct. More wild west hinterlands absent of military presence like Deadwood (not the show) than Mad Max.....Though most of that line of thinking comes from fear of self responsibility and god forbid they'd have to be armed instead of relying on the law enforcement, that they hate.
I've chatted with a lot of professors who believe society would be mad max without governments.
