I've noticed a pattern that I hope I'm wrong about. Reading these pages at GAW, I am constantly looking for hope, some evidence of somebody doing something forward looking. I am not able to find it. I asked a question in another thread whether anybody on this planet is developing a trustworthy voting system. Crickets. One bot showed up and told me we have lost nothing, and losing the ability to have fair elections won't amount to anything. So far not a soul has contributed to that thread and provided any examples of voting systems being developed. That's the pattern. Complain all you want, wallow in the mud like a depressed pig, but don't you dare talk about anything that would change the status quo peacefully.

So talking about how bad things are is totally acceptable, but making any mention of peacefully changing that in any effective way is verboten. Change my mind.
