I, for one, am not apathethic, but still feel completely powerless. Politicians do not represent me, the people have stopped protesting because it's been outlawed and it's completely useless.

But I am still looking to spend my energy in decentralised, fully-encrypted networks, I'm still banging on about the sham that is our democratic Western world, and researching modern technological ways to protest against the status quo (agorism, etc.)

It's small but honest work, yet the vast majority of people, here included, think working with the system and the thieves is better than accepting we've been lied to for decades.

But the point is, we are powerless against any decision Westminster does. We are all waiting to vote the other party next year, and do you truly believe they will step back from this bill? After all, they too care about the children, and it is us that want to harbour pedophiles.

(I am thoroughly disgusted by how major newspapers have framed this law as a win, or relegated it to a footnote.)
