    Because the politicians who propose or vote for unethical laws don’t face any repercussion - so far.
    I wonder whether they’ve heard of guillotines…

      I mean, if you can’t get people to just vote them out, ultraviolence isn’t really on the table either.

          Well then, why don’t you get on that?

          We both know the answer, and it’s that pulling the cord isn’t the problem.

            Maybe I’m just not desperate enough (yet?).
            I wouldn’t imply that for all other people though.
            And of course the guillotine is a figure of speech; other measures that lead to the same end may be taken.

              Of course it is. But this applies to any other variation of wanning a revolution.

              If you actually get involved in politics, it becomes clear pretty quickly that people DGAF about it. Even the 45% or so that say they do. How to use your mass public support to achieve political change was never the question, it was always “what public support”.
