>You can be critical of the policy of export controls and the meaning of them in modern day but saying it is a problem with the government in general is nonsensical.
Hardly non-sensical. You just have a different default.
Government has control by virtue of existing.
If you say government control is bad in general you are just saying there shouldn't be government.
This is impossible as the things the government does will happen it would just be under a different label.
That is all I meant by non-sensical, you need to be more specific to have a real point.

Nope, we could just do 1/10th of the things "the government does".
Not all them are needed, and a lot of them are actively harmful.
