    thats what happens when we as society become ignorant and inept, and therefore we vote for inept and ignorant people to represent us.

      They are not all inept.

      They know exactly what they are doing.

      It is a hostile act to create information the state isn’t privy to. That is a very deliberate act.

          That doesnt mean they werent ignorant or inept, they were just aware of what was happening to them, and in most cases for rights it was only after decades or centuries of mistreatment. Its a reaction not a prevention.

          As for toxic people in power, thats a lot harder to argue but toxic people enter and leave government all the time. It can be obvious sometimes who will be shit but theres only so many choices and again a significant portion of people are ignorant or inept.
