Summary

This quote suggests that a government lacks a conscience and operates solely based on policies. It implies that governments do not possess moral values or a sense of right and wrong. While they may have a set of guidelines or agendas, they are not driven by considerations of empathy or ethics. This viewpoint portrays governments as impersonal entities solely focused on attaining and preserving power, rather than acting in the best interests of the people they govern.
