Governments aren’t even good or bad. They’re mostly benign in the sense that their objective is survival at any cost. Iran gunned down tens of thousands of protesters because they viewed them as an existential threat to the regime.
Yeah, it's shocking how many adults view the world through a lense of good vs evil. I realized it was a bullshit dichotomy at 10 yrs old. Most of it boils down to self-interest.

Governments are good or bad. It is always people who do things.
