The government gets away with this stuff because people can't coordinate their power, which looks basically the same as powerless people turning a blind eye. You guys are describing two facets of the same thing, but the people do in fact have more power than the government.
- dTal 6y agoThey can coordinate their power; it's called "government". Government employs about 15% of the labor force in America, and that's not even including contractors for whom government is the only customer. Any large-scale coordination will necessarily eclipse the individual and take on a life of its own; you can't really have it both ways.
