But some guy on the internet criticizing government is who you deem selfish.

No I am not. Nobody owns me.
I follow the law because I would get thrown in a cage otherwise, it's got nothing to do with wanting to honour some false concept.

What's current got to do with it? Governments have never provided benefit, they have only dealt in destruction and fraud.
Stealing, hitting and propagandising people doesn't make the fruit grow. Violent people are just parasitical predators, they don't provide any benefit. Any more than a man taking another man's wallet in the alleyway is benefiting to an economy.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
