Asking questions usually helps to alleviate confusion.

What is it exactly you’re confused about?

What government can you actually point to - not theoretical, but actually existing - which holds as its sole purpose the safety of all its people?

Isn’t that like everything else in life? We set very high standards and then measure people against them.

Which boss is perfect? Which dad is? Nothing and no one is.

But there are shades. Some are way closer to the bar than others.

I can list hundreds of governments that have not reacted to mass protests by killing unarmed civilians (their own people) by the thousand.
