What kills me is that it's not really the gov that's ruling - our government is NGOs by proxy. The NGOs develop the policy, legislation, and regulation and work through their crony criminals in Congress to implement it.
I blame diffusion of responsibility for this. The criminals do what others don't want to do. So, in effect, they become the rulers. Sure, people complain and call them names, but at the end of the day, they're in charge.
Isn't diffusion of responsibility when people do nothing bc they see many people also witnessing an event and believe that one of them will do something? Well, we certainly have people doing nothing - nearly all of Congress - it's disgusting.
Hearing upon endless hearing, where they love to pontificate yet do nothing.
As a society, we certainly love to virtue signal. It feels good but does absolutely nothing, like jerking off.
