Why do people put so much negativaty in the Government?

I've been looking around on forums for a while and coming upon videos that have an unrelated subject in the comments that just bash the government saying it will collapse and that we are all just puppets of the government along with Libya and other countries. Where does all this come from? It's annoying to look at as it all seems to be so exaggerated.

I'm not really one to pay attention to politics but I'm just curious on why people put negativaty in the government so much? Sure, no government is perfect, but surely it's not as exaggerated as I see on forums and comments right?

Strangley, these comments sound like they actually hope the government falls and most of them I've seen come from people in the UK or other countries (hope I'm not offending anyone that is from there or somewhere else) and it just seems weird.

Everything is proceeding as I have forseen. Wait… when did that happen?

I "bash" government all the time, but not because I worry about it collapsing or anyone being the puppet of someone else (though the latter concern is probably valid in some respects). Fundamentally, government is a gun in the room that nobody talks about. Everything the government does is ultimately backed up by violence. Maybe most people think that's fine, and surely some things have to be backed up by violence (defense, for instance), but I think there's a better way of solving problems and organizing society than "government" as we know it.

There are so many legitimate criticisms of existing states and political machines in general. It's a crying shame that certain people coming from a so-called libertarian angle (e.g. Alex Jones) eschew reality in lieu of attacking the government for imaginary grievances like HAARP, the NWO, etc.

Governments often do somethings that the population don't agree with. It's an easy target of conspiracy theorists.
BTW, I just saw a Y!A question (the not-actually-questions one) about Illuminati on Y!A in which he claimed that we are all fools and when we realize that Illuminati is taking over the world it will be too late.
Seriously, people like the Illuminati "Secret Power" more than screw up the government.
