OK, c’est pas vraiment "l’image du jour". Elle correspond plus à la période troublée que nous traversons actuellement.

Delegating the task of protection of our rights to someone, thereby allowing the gap, in the ability to apply force, between you and those who are supposed to protect your rights, to widen, always carries the risk of your delegates one day refusing to fulfill their end of the bargain by using their power to violate your rights instead.

But is it really the case that most of us are willing and able to protect our rights by ourselves?

No, it isn't the case that we are able to protect our rights by ourselves. I hate reality and all of humanity.
