Sadly, people are removed from civil society today (as they are removed from society in general), which leaves a lot of space for various snake oil salesmen selling them "safety" and "truth". We know well that these things can't be bought but earned.

I think buboard was referring to how the most prominent voices heard in political discourse today are not humans speaking for themselves, but corporate entities; lobbyists (correct me if my interpretation is wrong).

That’s a relief. Would be nice to know what you meant though.
