GLENN GREENWALD: I think there’s several aspects to it.
But I think the principle one is — and interestingly, Barack Obama actually talked about this in his Presidential campaign, quite eloquently and insightfully — that there gets to be a point where citizens look at the government, and they look at both political parties, and they conclude that the system itself is so radically corrupt and the political parties are so fundamentally nonresponsive that no matter what it is that they do, they aren’t going to be able to achieve any change.
They feel a sense of learned helplessness.
And they essentially accept whatever it is that’s done to them and simply hope that it’s not too bad.
And I think that’s the population.
It’s not that they’re apathetic.
It’s that they’ve come to believe in their own impotence.
And I think that’s actually sadder and– and more dangerous.
