They aren't all that powerful, power to the people!  

 Damn straight fiatjaf. The people, us, are far more powerful than any government. 

We have to start acting like it.  

 I'm kind of dumb, I know very little about programming, but I'm trying to cooperate against this kind of people. 

 i see you see my theory , probably  

 govmnt ARE the devil... but ya, we do have some little power. the power to not comply 

 Especially for P.R. China and Chinese Communist Party.The CCP do  repression, control the spread of news, shut down many media outlets, allow only state-owned media opinion, force large Internet companies internally, and support Russia externally in various economic and industrial ways.

 That's why governments love books like Brave New World or Nineteen Eighty-Four. 

 By G0verning  our minds they are VCs for Devil's startups. 

 Who exactly? I usually think of them as making people feel disempowered so they are more compliant/obedient
