Seeing a conspiracy requires a distrust of the government AND an astoundingly high opinion of their competence.
Are you implying that this is a contradiction?
Not a contradiction, but they are two distinct claims. Whether the government is untrustworthy and whether it's competent are separate arguments.
Most libertarian criticisms of the government that i've heard have focused on arguments that the government is inefficient and incompetent.
