Flag =/= Government for me. I really found the Superbowl protests distasteful and would chide the players for not protesting at a different time, even if I wouldn't really sack them or penalize them for it. But I genuinely hate the government. I wish JFK had carried on with his original plan of destroying the CIA. That's one shakeup the US has needed since forever. The Deep State thing isn't as much of a conspiracy when you realize there really is an unofficial corrupt apparatus of career politicians in it for money from companies who count on them to enact policies that will enable them to sell military tech, overpriced contracts for new vehicles or satellites and invading other countries under shit pretexts only so they can sell more of the equipment that ends up destroyed or lost during invasions.
Hell, arguably this isn't the CIA's problem. It actually started when COSTA RICA of all countries created the abomination known as the United Fruit Company. They hijacked the CIA to use as their own East India company clone in Central America and then everyone in the military industrial complex wanted to get into their office and twist their goals into something that would get the Feds to buy more stuff from them, since tank manufacturers do not profit from world peace.
