Because back then people spoke to each other in such a way that if someone wanted to listen in they would have to be apart of the conversation or evesdrop close by. Now the only way people communicate is by way that nearly anyone can listen in and those with incentive can learn of your wear abouts and ensure that if you were considering doing such a thing as you describe, you are quickly and quietly removed from the conversation. To add insult to injury, the people you talk to, the ones who are supposed to be your friends, ridicule you for getting caught or simply just don’t notice your absence when the rake knocks at your door. You’re absolutely right though. Genocides and wars have started over less.
Democracy means you can just vote for the other guy next time if you disagree. It's designed to keep you from punishing the people committing treason or rising up and killing the king/tyrant like the old days. The people writing the bills and making the laws and pushing their agendas get to hide behind politicians and let the people think they had a say in the matter.
Yeah, I don't believe in universal suffrage democracy. Someone less informed, less capable, less intelligent and overall an inferior human to me shouldn't get equal say to myself in governing myself. The role of government must be extremely limited and it is way outside its justified realm of power.
You are right that this illusion of legitimacy due to democracy keeps many people satiated. The push of cultural marxism and the egalitarianism plague that has wrought its way into our culture is another product of this by giving people the illusion that each person should have an equal say in governing everyone else. There's a reason dictators still have elections because of how effective these democracies are at deflating the will of the people to rise up against tyranny.
Yeah, it does feel like things aren't bad enough but it also feels like a slow drain. It's how I imagine black slaves of fairly nice masters who were pretty well off themselves with fairly decent amount of freedom but not true freedom must have felt. Scared of freedom because of the risks involved. The trade-off of risk vs. reward just isn't there, even though slaves we are.

True but in a lot of these cases, there's a personal link. In all honesty, she's small time for the deep state and mostly irrelevant.
