"Why don't you answer my questions? If governments are so bad why do we institute multiple layers of them, everywhere"

because some people like power and control so those in the gov grow that power by growing gov.

"Why do we obey them, almost by rote? They regulate everything you do, how often you cut your own grass, what gas you put in your car, how the plumbing and electrical in your house works, where you can walk, who you have sex with, what your clothes are made of ... ... ... it's smothering, isn't it?
because to most of us gov has more resources and get that away our freedom.

people don't obey them by rote, have you've been on any highway ? you see anyone stopping before making a right on red ? see people's tax returns ? I burn leaves cut down live trees on my property, both illegal
of course they try a to regulate, that's part of the control some people like over others

"So the question is, why do we do it, universally and instinctively? Not trying to be a jerk, but it's a question you need to ask yourself. "

we do it to a point, then we have 1776 and 1861...we are over due
