It's not the good old days any more. Your government doesn't represent you. Its police, military, and "justice" system are not manned by good people acting in the interests of the people and community.

Snap out of it.

The good old days when governments represented people, like before the 17th Amendment when states picked the Senate in smokey backroom deals. Wait that can't be right, maybe like before the 19th Amendment. Wait no, during the Jim Crow era. No, the McCarthyism era. Wait...uhh...hmm...

I don't know what time period you're thinking of with "It's not the good old days any more. Your government doesn't represent you." Seems like the government represents more people better today than it did in the past given before so many couldn't even vote at all and the government was far more active in suppressing minority rights.

And if its about them snooping in on conversations, these days they have to actually ask a lot of communication providers for data. Back in the day there was only one company providing electronic communications and the government was absolutely listening in to the conversations. Tons of those communications were happening over the air for anyone with the right antenna to listen in. US v. Miller was in 1976 and established what we now know as third-party doctrine.

Yeah I'm sure it was better in the good old days ahaha

No it’s just that now it affects everyone not just certain groups which is the tipping point for Society to reorganize

This is what is called out by Polybius, Socrates, Jefferson, Strauss/Howe as the socio-political cycle.
