Honestly, I want to be allowed to break my system. I own it, it should do exactly what I say, warnings are fine, but software deciding it knows better than you is how we have reached the inescapable technogulag of the now.
You can, if you create an empty file at
/etc/apt/break-my-systemfirst. It's intentionally not mentioned to prevent another Linus situationWow, I thought you might be joking but this is real

You could always try using "sudo dpkg -r --force-all apt" instead. It won't clean up the dependencies, admittedly.
In my experience, Linux only allows you to do 1 incredibly stupid thing at a time. Remove sudo? Cool. Remove apt? You betcha. Remove apt AND sudo? You're fucking nuts, I ain't doing that
