I’m aware of all this. What do you propose, then? I do not think we can afford to let business as usual continue - that leads to a feudal system with even fewer checks and balances than in the Middle Ages, and a continuation of policy decisions that are dangerous to humanity. Saying there is nothing to be done is not an option.
The alternative is carting 'em all off to Mme Guillotine in tumbrels, and getting there is likelier to be a lot bloodier than the French Revolution, given the police states that are being set up.
