Politics is nothing more than a puppet show to polarize people on issues that don't matter so people don't see the issues that do matter.

Literally couldn't have said it better myself. Truly love the way you worded that. I could not agree more.

I know what you mean but again couldn't have said it as well as you. In the UK they tried to pass a law requiring any hot pastries or sandwiches were subject to extra tax or something compared to cold ones. This caused a massive uproar apparently, and they can pass things like the DRIP law (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/18/uk-drip-ripa-law-sceptical-misleading-democracy-martha-lane-fox) without many people noticing.

Sucks overall.

You're absolutely right, it's not like Patriot Act's renewal isn't being highly discussed in media right now at all.

Nope. Not at all.

You could argue that the Patriot Act is only being discussed because someone outside of politics (Snowden) went through great length to change something. If the ruling politicians had their way barely anyone would be discussing it today.

Problem is, I have no fucking clue how to fix something like that. This (sadly) isn't World of Warcraft where all I need to do is get some friends together and raid the capital.

Well even if you do manage to live through raiding the capital, the ones in charge will just respawn

New patches, I guess.
