As a whole? Maybe. As individuals, I think some do and some don’t. As a whole, I think the government is designed in a way that responds to my interests, which is about as close to “caring” that a non-sentient system can get.
Smaller govts, like here in Norway, is just people doing what they can and has been educated to do. This faceless govt that a lot of people are describing, I cant imagine it here. It is built of people anyone can talk to. So yes, the government and the system cares about us as a whole. Not for me personally, though. Common good.
Some politicians and govt workers are completely self-serving, of course, even here.
England, absolutely not. those tory motherfuckers would kill me to make a profit and that’s barely an exaggeration
I’m transgender, so, that would be a no from me
Sorry yall downvote away but I gotta bring up covid in this context. oh yeah sure, after decades of not giving two shits about us suddenly the government is concerned for our health and safety? No one else found that to be immediately sus as hell?
COVID politics was a shitshow because of the noisy information being used to make “informed” decisions. No democratic politician has it in their interest to drive their local economy into the ground, as it is political suicide (as we see across Europe now).
They never cared about YOUR health, they cared about not losing a generation worth of useful working bodies.
