Exactly. Just like how the British people just recently decided that privacy and encryption aren't "fair and just." After all, would a policymaker ever go again

Exactly. Just like how the British people just recently decided that privacy and encryption aren't "fair and just." After all, would a policymaker ever go against the desires of the voters?
> well, the majority who had political power anyway
You're making a massive assumption that this somehow equates to voters/the people.
- shiroiuma 3y agoYou're making a really strange and unfounded assumption I frequently see, where you seem to want to absolve the common people of all guilt. The idea that common white people 100+ years weren't massively racist is, honestly, ridiculous and downright insulting. Racist policies didn't come from a few leaders that somehow got themselves elected; regular people believed that way too. There's no shortage of historical evidence for this fact, and you trying to deny it really sounds a lot like flat-eartherism.
