People found it more liberating to live free of scrutiny than to reintegrate into a society that determines value based on public image?

>> Why is it the politicians that need to stop playing drama?
<< Because politicians gatekeep others from joining the scene.

>> The idea behind a democracy is that the voters decide.
<< Yes, but voters do not directly (if at all) decide how the big issues are handled or which individuals are put into office.

>> They seem to not want anything to change from what the 1.5 big parties have been doing.
<< They do, but don't do it well in the fact that they haven't made any changes despite voting in the best interest to improve things.

It's possible, but unlikely due to herd mentality.

When the day comes that politicians stop playing highschool quad social drama games, we might actually have more diversity.

Currently, if you're a serious politician- you need to pick 'a side' to play dodgeball on. Otherwise you won't get far in your political career. That's why it becomes a big deal when a high ranking politician changes 'sides' or even goes 'independent'.

Programming embedded systems using Atmel and similar low-cost SoC's is very much like working on computers in the 1980s and 1990s. But with PC hosted dev tools far easier and cheaper.
Since you mention an interest in this space, consider buying an Arduino kit and building some cool personal projects. Once you have some experience, look around your part of the world and identify any needs that you could solve with an embedded solution.

YES, it was for-sure cooler.
Memory mattered. Ditto CPU cycles, disk, and network bandwidth. (Not that your code could count on there being a network, in a lot of cases.) Security wasn't a Garden of Eden...but now that can feel more like being a night-shift ICU nurse during a COVID surge that never ends. And the software stack under your code was orders of magnitude smaller, and slower-changing. These days - that can feel like you aren't a programmer, but instead a Wall Street attorney who's trying to pilot some giga-corporate merger through the shifting regulatory and political obstacles in 37 different countries.
