Everyone loves to complain about the government.
Yet, who really takes an interest and
does the work to make it ours?

;

Government as your enemy is a myth
propagated by people who get elected
to profitable positions and create
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Government is what we choose
it to be as humans working out society.

Complaining about the government?... Yet, who takes an interest and does the work thing to make it ours?... 

@libramoon k This is one of the good questions I can use to try and learn something...

And why people might not try is also reflected by the length of this post or generally how much of our life we need to invest (at the same time as other parts of life often based on the wrong time-pressured things)... but without digressing too much about time... back to your post...

Something I would ask you (even if it's the same as everyone else) but just if you have ideas what to do or not do - just saying more about this as what you said is good but very general or even people know it but lack their own direction to try or think of something to do)

and also add just for clarity:

Are you saying. we choose Government ourselves even though we are sort of paying others to mess it and giving freedoms away as a kind of contract / civil class thing?

And then even if somehow those people in Government can get it together and do for us, it will always be divided (like 65% say this, 25% that, 10% vote the other thin) - Do you think Government can 'work' since it seems to be so hell-bent on pressuring / pressing down on it's subjects for money matrix?

And most Governments seem to be working often against those that speak out - so it's not just us wanting or being human - it's our bad parents / bad suppliers / changing system contaminating everything that literally it's hard to change water back after it's been supplied badly...
It's often highly psychological but Government can be successful in making people not speak out and even shell-up (turtle style) to avoid any attention or be targetted (which is why numbers help and de-arrest people if attempted to single anyone out)

And as we are all being targetted we might think about 'attacking' smarter and in less extreme conditions or less obvious ways (to avoid being targetted)?

Again it's a psychological thing and I like you sentiment and we need people who believe ...

(Hard to write lots about it but imagine could still out in the future and start )

@freeschool

people like to complain, act as if there is something someone (government) ought to do, yet don't bother to learn just what government agents can do, or how they as citizens can bring about the changes they claim to want

it seems like the complaining is just a valve to let out steam, rather than using steam as energy to do the work needed for the changes we claim to want

@libramoon For sure - I think complaining is part of it (also naturally- so if there is/was a good complaints system it would work and I have seen it work)

I guess it's easy to overlook there are good people or good processes but it is a bit of a gamble and if it doesn't work you're somewhat marking yourself as an anti-something or person against 'conscription' that they that you complain to want and force others to sign up to... and will do you eventually.

So resaying the points in this post;
1- complaining anonymous or in numbers see to help not get targetted

2- there is good somewhere but in the whole structure of bad seems to go wrong or wasted energy very quickly (though complaining is also - yes it's possibly last thing and when they can't stand it do it always in the same less-efficient achieving not much change)
