    Why should your rulers care if you’re not a threat to their regime interests or health, or willing to give them something in return gir the consideration?

    What leverage did you apply? Do you expect them to do the right thing just because its good and right? Were you literally born yesterday? Do you lack theory of mind?

      Dude… Not going down that path with you. Whatever I will reply it won’t be enough before I agree to do something extreme or admit that it’s all for nothing blah blah something. You just ask random cynical questions and call me stupid for trying to make a little tiny difference. What is your point actually? To let me know that we cannot do anything as people because politicians==bad and corrupt?

        You elect a ruler. A person to exercise power over you. Seems fucking stupid, IMO its easier to coordinate people without that shit and it generates barriers to any kind of coordination society-wide, but it’s sort of the done thing and I’ll accept that its where both your location and mine are at right now.

        Sorry you don’t live in a fantasy world where assholes who run vicious popularity gauntlets to do shitty things and exercise/conspire coercive power others are generally good considerate people.

        You want to make a difference, a ‘tiny’ difference; do it your fucking self. Find others who want the sameish thing and work it out if you’re being hyperbolic about it being ‘tiny’.

        Or find some way to make the tyrant you chose care. Suck his dick. Threaten his kids. Give him a pile of money in whatever way bribes are accepted where you are. Make him give a shit that you care. Or give more of a shit than the people paying/threatening him to do whatever bullshit he’s doing.

        Or you can keep throwing a fucking temper tantrum about prayer not working and people not listening to you on street corners.
