And so are corporations.
It's not made super clear but it seems the TVA does not destroy every branching timeline. By extension we can arguably infer that infinite copies of "everybody" still exist, just in a smaller set of timelines (the ones the TVA allows to exist). So, if they've erased an infinite amount of life, but also an infinite amount of life still exists, then what actually happened?
Also let’s not forget kidnapping, gaslighting, and erasing people’s memories!
There was an awful lot of questioning about the Patriot Act; it just got shouted down. I'm sure there is as much questioning today, it's just that the people who prefer you not question things have got better at shouting you down (or, well, more than shouting).
