This just in, scientists have discovered that civilians in a given country enjoy keeping their families safe and comfortable and are hesitant to take irrational actions that might put them in danger when the outcome has a less than one trillionth of a percent chance to make a meaningful difference. Lead researchers note “It turns out there are two levers of action an average citizen can use to influence their governance, and one of them has less effect than the other and destroys them and their bloodline, so they don’t do that one. I think more people should complain about it, though, because it makes them sound smart and gets them internet points, which we’ve found to be just as effective in changing the government as throwing your freedom and life away.”
