You are wrong about government. YOU/WE are the government. When elected representatives don't behave, fire them--vote for someone who's better--campaign, inform if you have to do that. If government is unaccountable, it's the fault of people who were distracted or uniformed enough to vote for crooks instead of people who represent them. You can't have someone do everything you want, but when it's 70-80%, that's pretty good.
Constant denigration of government is a strategy designed to discourage as many citizens as possible from participating. That makes it easier for private interests to control it.
