But the government is much more of an enemy to me than my ISP, not to mention I can switch ISPs but I can’t switch governments.

If the people don't agree with something they can always do three things in a democratic country:
* start a party to push for legislative changes that resonate with what the people want
* vote for a party that propose to change certain legislation to something more adjacent to what the people want
* people can lobby the government via interest groups or as a collective to influence politicians or if the constitution allows for it try and hold a popular vote on the issue(s)
That doesn’t work for small issues like this, as well as you know. And the proof is that wildly unpopular things like this keep occurring. We don’t live in a democracy if it’s not like in Switzerland with their direct democracy where we can vote on all issues one by one. What we have is a joke.

Maybe use the time machine to move out of Franco's Spain?
