We can see the human status system is broken when it assigns high status to the government.

The government has been, for all of recorded history, a fundamentally criminal organization, and should share a status tranche with whores, drug addicts, sodomites, and other deviants such as journalists and actors. Whatever you want to do, the government is in the way and you first need to manipulate the government into not being in your way. Your domestic government is always more of a threat than foreign governments, because it has the exact same interests but is closer.

Naturally the government is always assigned the highest status, which allows it to parasitize with impunity.
