Mafia

Schneier on Security reposted an essay was written with Davi Ottenheimer that originally appeared in Foreign Policy. It takes a very negative view of what DOGE is doing. It's garbage. But looking through the comments I found this one that I think is pretty great.

You’re assuming that government (any government) is legitimate. It’s not. Governments are basically racketeering gangs that fight each other for territory and try to give people the illusion that they chose to voluntarily participate. Mafias are just as legitimate, but without as much gaslighting. When a mafia starts to self-destruct, let it. It likely needs to be destroyed any way.
