| > when you criticize any government you have more to lose than to win. Well, it depends. https://tousu.www.gov.cn/zwfw/index.htm This is a Chinese central government website for collecting feedbacks comments and criticism on minor civil issues. At the bottom of the page, there are responses from the government officials on previous comments. Everything is in Chinese. I suppose when you say this, you probably have China and other “totalitarian” nations as the subject. So this example is from there. I am less familiar with US system, but I think minor civil issued are managed by autonomous local community anyway. And there is no federal level civil management after all, not like China. Ie. Chinese central government can have a civil feedback channel, which does not make sense for US feral government, as that's not their scope of responsibility. Government is setup to manage it's subject. It welcomes feedback, in general. Just like a company, the CEO welcome feedbacks. The government, likewise the CEO, are mostly worried when the subject refuse to care. Leaving everything in stagnation and limbo. |
