America is not drifting towards anarchism; to the contrary, it is drifting or slowly being propagandized towards accepting Nanny State mentality - which is a form of authoritarianism. The essence of it is that you shouldn't be allowed to make your own decisions and accept the consequences of your own behavior. It is cultivated dependency, and those who wield power and influence will benefit from promoting it. Big Brother is here to make sure you stay in line and that you don't hurt yourself. Big Brother is your protector, your guardian, your overseer, your... master. Big Brother cares so much about you. What could be bad about that?
