Always useless? No. Useless most of the time? Yes. Don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re Luke Skywalker fighting the evil empire: your entire life already depends on the government and your fellow citizens working together in society. If that breaks down, or the government comes for you, there’s very little you can do to stop it. Multiple oppressive regimes, genocides, atrocities throughout history make my point for me.
