Got it. Thanks. Some things to think over. 

 In the west, I think that there has been a loss of trust in the idea that our governments are functioning for the common good. The idea that they have been tilted towards benefiting a few, at the expense of the many, is more believable and a much easier story to tell. And the funniest thing is that people who are directly benefiting from the corruption are elected to stop it. So where do we go from here? How do we reinstate the belief in our liberal institutions and the ideals of classical liberalism? 

 You have the play the political game and push for reform. I don’t know what else to say. Just throwing up your hands and excising yourself is exactly the kind of depoliticization that fascists pray on. 

 I hear ya. I think the exact same thing when someone says, “I don’t vote cause it doesn’t matter.” 

Apathy and nihilism are the fascists’ best tools.
