> Why is this even legal anywhere ? I attribute it to: - our hilariously primitive and archaic "implementation" of "democracy" (which most formal/legal matters are invisibly downstream of) - our hilariously primitive and non-self-aware culture(s), whose individual members tend to be more inclined to insist on maintaining the very status quo that they constantly complain about (and from which mostly everything else is downstream of) - our hilariously primitive and archaic system of "journalism", which is supposed to, and proclaims itself to, expertly inform the public of important goings on - the magnitude of the gap between the content and nature of reality vs what we believe/proclaim it to be - some other things that I have surely missed, or am too lazy to generate by spending more time thinking - some other things that <redacted> I wonder if any of these predictions are correct.
