For so many reasons, I wouldn't be surprised if a good bit of content on this thread resonates with a number of us. Though, when it comes to this:
- I'm tired of participating in the illusion of democracy.
Yet, the disillusionment in government yields to this:
- Are you willing to protest in the street?
- Willing? Yes. Able? No. I have a day job.
I think the appropriate question from here is:
Then what's the next course of action?
-
To stay would be to accept and grind through discomfort.
To stay and attempt to make a difference from the inside? Well, we've seen enough of that, I think.
To leave would be trading levels of security, rights, 'liberties', for others of different shapes and sizes; which, more than likely, down the line will surface its own institutional problems.

What are the [feasible] options left, if not, unthought of?
