>Now everyone knows it’s true, but still nobody seems to care…
That just about sums up every bad act.
Lots of people were aware of all the bank fraud and toxic loans leading to the 2008 real estate bubble, no one cared leading up to it, and no one cares now.
The Googles/Facebooks/amazons are collecting and doing unsavory things with your data, whether you ever used their services or not (shadow accounts), no one seems to care.
Governmental spying on citizens? Hell the Government had a program which included secret kill lists, flew military bombers into foreign countries to drop bombs and kill a citizen. Even when the US failed to kill the citizen and the family sued, their case was dismissed as the courts denied any right to know who was on the list, how they got on the list, and even denied acknowledging the list existed...yet no one cared.
Imagine a foreign country flying military missions in the US and dropping bombs on a foreigner in the US, based on the foreign governments secret kill lists. It's pure insanity.
Well, it's pretty much a situation of war. And an unconventional war against terrorists.
(Also, not unprecedented - the Russians have been doing something very similar in a few high-profile UK cases...)
Of course, the main issue is that those "surgical" drone strikes still seem to have backfired strategically -
I wonder what is the state of these "who are we going to kill today" reunions under Trump ?
And of course in the background there's the whole Middle Eastern situation where the USA (and previously the British Empire) have only been making things worse for a century or so... but the control over those oil fields is just too important for them to let go !
