Where do I exhort to fatalism? That would mean : "there is nothing to be done, why bother"

Let's not turn the table here, I'm the one with a hobby of parsing system logs from surveillance system to prove that police forces are abusing it.

That's not exactly the definition of "letting fate decide". I'm taking action to support my beliefs . To both society and the legal system of our country.

What you might have confused with fatalism is my bleak view on our elected officials. I do have low esteem of them. But I don't think that all elected official are bad. I think they mostly stay too long in power and end up clinging to it, and, yes, getting corrupted in the process.

That last part often bring gasp and shock. But we have to come to term with it: as you stated, no humans are angel, and our elected official have problems.

Nothing that could not be fixed with the right amount of accountability.
