> True, but at the point of a dictatorship, all is lost, unless you leave the country

Today's democracy is just a dictatorship in sheep's clothing, and I'm not convinced democratic governments were ever anything but.

> illegal activity like human trafficking, child porn, weapons trade, etc.

Boogiemen... Not that these things don't happen, but that they happen rarely, and the government doesn't even do a good job of stopping these things.

Worst of all good people believe the government stops these things and don't work to protect themselves and their community from them because of this belief.
