Ong, we have accountability here too-- congress has the power of subpoena, it's great, except if you just stonewall them, and were able to stack the courts ahead of time, nothing comes of it. Maybe your system of checks and balances is more robust, idk, but to rule out public pressure as a lever against poor governance is naive.

At least you're trying to engage in good faith, unlike poop.

But you're still missing my point. It's fine to critisise bad governance. But laymen thinking they can tell the government how they should be dealing with an unprecedented situation because "other countries", as though things apply equally across the world, that's naive.

I don't know better. So I won't pretend to.

Said poop, never.

They certainly can tell the government that they're fucking up, and they should if they feel that way. It's called feedback. If those in power feel the criticisms are unjustified, it behooves them to find a way to convey that to the populace. Don't forget that the whole apparatus runs on the faith or subjugation of the people.

I'm not so much saying you're wrong, but that I think you're failing to appreciate the full role of the populace.
