| summary | The text discusses a perplexing observation in recent US politics: the lack of significant protest against democracy and rule of law erosion. The author proposes a hypothesis related to perceptions of temporality and emotional responses. They reminisce about past struggles against the UK's intrusive surveillance laws under Labour, which resulted in limiting data collection for minor offenses only. However, the Home Office later decided to utilize this data for any purpose, causing outrage. The author suggests that nowadays, direct principle-based arguments are less effective due to few justice ministers genuinely upholding these principles. In essence, the theory posits that people may not protest because they perceive a lack of urgency or fear retaliation, leading to emotional detachment and inaction. |
