I think most people who actually care are already afraid of doing anything that creates a larger 'public surface,' so to speak, and have gone to ground, happy to to vote what they think and enjoy blaming everyone else when they continue to get ignored until it inevitably goes bad.
- bravohippo 14y agoThe "masses" also have bigger problems than being spied on. Namely, having shitty lives because they are poor, diseased, and overworked. Meanwhile, the intelligentsia waits for the masses to fix the problems over which the masses have little understanding or control. The intelligentsia can't protest--that would threaten their careers! Free speech--meaning political speech--doesn't apply if you're a Senior Vice President. Being publicly political is the fastest way to undermine your potential. So those with power do nothing because they want to keep power and they have bigger things to worry about. Those without power do nothing because they have no power and it will make no difference and they have bigger things to worry about.
