People who live in fear of their government deserve a better government .... luckily history shows those governments fail

Does it?

History shows that all governments fail, but does it show that governments people live in fear of fail faster?

Is history still relevant? The creation of cameras, high speed communications, and computers fundamentally changes the question. The capabilities of citizens, governments, and bystanders have all changed. The capabilities are still rapidly changing, e.g. facial recognition, and drones.

I don’t know, China is still going very strong, and Russia doesn’t look like of collapsing anytime soon.
