Messy Referee Pie:

In this analogy, there are different kinds of referees. In other words, there are different kinds of globalists and/or other kinds of people and groups that seek to do more than just referee.

Tech Cartel Pie

Not only that, but the tech cartels (technocracy), corporatism, monopolies, etc, are also becoming referees, AKA governmental. For example, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, etc, are doing things that referees would only dream of doing in a variety of ways.

Corruption

So, you're right that it is corruption and that it is many things. Yes, there is bribery. There is this and there is that. I love the analogy of the referees. If only somebody could make a video using your analogy.

Referee Value

Yes, of course there is value in having referees and you're right about that. I prefer the kind of government that is a constitutional and representative republic with three or four branches that seek to balance each other out. I believe in the value of the first, second, and fourth amendments. I believe in the attempt at limiting federal government while focusing more on city, county, and state level government.

United Nation States

I would prefer if each state was more like a country and that the United States of America would be more a union of those smaller states or nations. You're right that government should be focused on settling disputes between different parties mostly in a court of law. By the way, I'm against the United Nations, the European Union, the New World Order, etc.

Private Property

It comes down to private property rights of the citizens. Government should protect our borders and settle disputes, conflicts, between private property of different parties. By the way, a human body should be the private property of the person that may reside and live inside that humanoid vessel.
