Cory Doctorow on Nostr: All they need to do is convince the public that the system is irredeemably corrupt ...

All they need to do is convince the public that the system is irredeemably corrupt and that the government can't *possibly* fix *anything* (hence Reagan's asinine "joke": "the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.'"

This is a very canny strategy. If you are the party of "governments are intrinsically corrupt and incompetent," then governing corruptly and incompetently *proves your point*.
