All governments are existential threats. This is because all governments are weapons, and should be governed in exactly the same way you handle a weapon.

Treat-Never-Keep-Keep

• Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
• Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
• Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire
• Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire

Or in terms of governance:

• Treat every government as if it were a loaded gun
• Never point your government at anything you do not intend to shoot
• Do not enact policies until you are ready to fire on someone
• Do not enforce policies until you intend to fire on someone
