It's become very clear to me that the people who call themselves leaders are as flawed, weak, and corruptible as anyone else. Arguably moreso. They're not especially moral and strong. So when they're put in (or ascend to) these expansive positions of power, we all feel their flaws, weakness, and corruption. Their problems become all of our problems, because their problems flow outwards, throughout everything that they influence.

This is why some people like limited government. Just enough not to have chaos and no more. Limits damage evil/greedy/well meaning idiots can do.
And limited data collection about everything, its the same problem really.
