Yea government is evil. The state murdered Jesus, who may have been born today. The state killed Socrates. The state did the Holocaust. The state did the Trail of Tears.
We should break our addiction to institutionalized arbitrary state violence and let people live their lives as long as they don't interfere with others.
People may make worse decisions in their own lives when they take drugs like weed or alcohol or crack or coffee. But those are their decisions. We should let people be free and try to help them if they want it. Until people want help and choose a new identity, I think intervention to their benefit will be sub optimal.
