Government is like an imaginary friend who is a charismatic super villain

Government does not really exist except as a figment of people's imagination but it is like an imaginary friend that gets people into trouble if they hang around with it.  It seems like a super hero that can solve any problem but it is really like the most charismatic super villain ever.  It is charismatic because it uses a person's own imagination to persuade them into thinking it will give them whatever they want but actually it can provide nothing because it does not exist but believing it exists can get you into trouble when it effects your behavior.  The mind control powers of government are infectious because once someone tells someone else government exists people will use their own imagination to interpret what they see as evidence that exists in whatever way is most persuasive to them personally because they start persuading themselves it exists through imaginary logic that is fallacious in the most appealing way to them personally since their own mind is constructing it.
