  "textContent": "I also feel while pointing out the flaws and correcting the government is a great way to raise awareness and express your views, it is also important to simply call them out on shit policies, laws, etc. as literally and objectively as one can. This means not mincing words and using euphemisms that don’t do anything but only read like a soft response to something that is ineffably moronic for the government to do.\n\nIntellectuals don’t or never become politicians. If they do, they are bound by the rigged game of politics and political law such that any improvement they may want to make doesn’t happen as it should, when it should, and how it should because one inevitably would need to keep selling out but by bit to keep oneself in the game rationalized by beliefs that one can still make a difference at the end of the day.\n\nThis is someone an off topic response but it does relate to any such laws government makes as the reason for why such rules are being proposed and passed without listening to actual experts on the matter. So, I still feel my comments explain why or how it is so for those who may be wondering. I didn’t know where else to say this.",
