But does it make sense in the long term? I don't see it honestly... it's not just democracy values, it ranges from that to things like hacking/IP theft.

It's a massive loss.

Also, if we're at the point where "democracy values" are stumped by short term profits then maybe we deserve all of this.

The Western political institutions have short-term incentives for their constituents.

That's an unfortunate drawback of a constituency trained to prioritize short-term goals.

I wonder if it's possible to change this and have a 'wise' constituency that is able to do a more long-term prioritization.
