Nations, competition, decentralized power are what give us the degree of freedom and safety we have had, absolutely.
My point, though, is that depending on some lone savior is silly and is just capitulating to the game. If you are completely dependent on a savior then you are that person's slave, so them saving you just means you are changing masters, in essence.
If you're not willing to put in the work to build the systems yourself, and take responsibility for your survival, then you are beholden to the whims of those that provide those for you. And that's fine, at least 80% of people are that way.
