And what are we supposed to do against this, raise in arms?
In my country we have two big parties but they are in cahoots (practically have the same progressive opinions on everything) so we can't even vote to have these authoritarian policies removed. There obviously are other parties but it would take something big, or reaching a tipping point, to break this cycle. It's not as easy as "no one cares". Many of us care but are powerless.
