Canadian. Close enough

And yes, some countries still seem to have effective protests. I just don't have a lot of confidence in the power of protest to overcome the power of lobbyists

Lobbyists can’t control you if you and 3%-20% of the country are in the road instead of doing the transactions or paperwork the ownership class wants you to be doing.

Be like the Koreans.

Google AI overview for Korea population breakdown: South Korea is one of the most ethnically homogeneous countries globally, with ethnically Korean people making up roughly 95% to 99%

Google AI overview for Canada population breakdown: Canada is not homogeneous; it is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse countries in the world. Nearly one-quarter of people living in Canada were born outside the country.

Diversity is in fact not our strength. It keeps us fighting amongst ourselves while the lobbyists push government to do whatever they want

Not a very popular opinion, and probably going to earn me some ire, but oh well

I also think this is a major factor.
