That is not the impression Sir reading Twitter. There are some big 'Bitcoin influencers' who say these exact things. Abolish the CIA, FBI, IRS, judicial system etc etc.
And because they are influencers these things get repeated over and over... these things are said here on Stacker News too and people start to believe them without thinking.
M Kratter's videos promote these same 'fringe' extremist things when it used to be about Bitcoin

Agree there are some very loud proponents of this absurd Libertarian nonsense.

Society cannot exist... without some kind of government. Smaller government? More accountable government? Sure.
But there are a lot of things government does every day that don't get covered on Twitter and it can become a big echo-chamber.
