Why don’t politicians just fuck off?

Nothing they ever do about anything leads to an improvement.

I mean, I hate politicians too but they did give us organizations like OSHA that protect us at work. Not all politicians are pieces of shit…but certainly MOST are.

“politicians never do anything good” is a myopic viewpoint that is completely understandable in the modern political climate, i think. which is unfortunate, because a political party that learned to harness that energy to actually become known for doing good could probably grow very quickly

They exist. They just get hamstrung by opposition and the general public’s lazy attitude of “everyone sucks” vs actually learning about their available choices.

I agreed that they should definitely fuck off, but this will be pushed y the security services. A change of government won’t change the drive for this sort of bollocks.

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

What about all the people that aren’t that who loose their privacy?

The criminals, terrorists and pedos won’t by affected. They will just switch to non weakened encryption.

It’s always been about mass surveillance.

Obvious counter-examples are abundant. I choose the global eradication of smallpox.
