It's a relevant question that nobody ever asks but everyone does think about it time to time. Some people truly believe that their governments are out to get them and others believe governments only protects us and never does anything bad towards it's tax paying citizens.

There's so much going on in the world today and every government is busy manipulating the narrative of any given situation it is dealing with.

Government persecution of citizens is nothing new. Questioning the government or criticising it for any of it's faults are the right of a citizen atleast it is in a democracy.

However, the ones we elect to make the law and uphold are the ones who more often than not break it as per their convenience.

But the fact is that governments subjugate people on the pretext of anything they seem justifiable and try to drill a sense of fear into the minds of anyone willing to stand up against their atrocities.

So here's a question, do you fear your government? It doesn't matter where you are from. If you have ever held back from voicing your opinion against the government in public domain it's likely that you fear some kind of backlash.
