People that own themselves do not have a government

An election does not justify a crime, if a thief explains that their group has held a ballot to justify their actions this makes no difference in court. A crime is either objectively bad and immoral or it is not a crime. Ethics of this type are objective and unaltered by popularity, or ballots. There is nothing virtuous about government, about owning others. Government is the body which owns others, it is based on a falsehood. The government owns people.
