    The two options always seem to be:

    • Option 1: Do the thing that expands the hyper-surveillance police state.

    • Option 2: Do nothing and wait for the problem to get worse, until you’re compelling to accept Option 1.

      Which is why we need to replace the people deciding what the options are.

          This is why I hate all the superhero movies of the past 20 years. Their ubiquity has made people subconsciously believe someone else out there with super powers will come to save the day, so it’s okay to continue sitting back helplessly and waiting.

            I think that’s why comic writers started going to stories with flawed non super powered heroes.
