The big joke is that any of these arguments matter. As if we live inside an enlightened society where citizens are engaged and informed on every issue and their preferences then bubble up to lawmakers. lmao.

90% of people don't give a shit at all. The airports are already running face recognition. PRISM continues, seemingly without opposition. Every 4 years we get to choose between puppet X and puppet Y who promise different variations of "more jobs" or "America good" or some equally vague idea. There's no debating your way out of apathy or idiocracy..

Giving up isn't how to escape apathy or idiocracy either.

You're right. I don't know what the right answer is, all i'm saying is the current ways don't seem to be working.
