This is a misunderstanding of socialisation. Nobody gets exactly what they want. But through Democratic discussion a society can set it's values, and with tolerance allow people freedom within that.

The reason that you make that compromise is to be better, stronger, offer more opportunity, and safety, than fighting for that alone. Which you just don't have the power to achieve on your own. Against a legion of other views wanting to take what's yours.

The problem is that we have been persuaded to not value society, and put the levers in the hands of those who serve other interests.

Our bad.

The solution is to gather together, agree shared values, and democratically seize control of our destiny.

No individual, however well armed, can do that. If there are enough of us we just need the pen, and the ballot box.

If nobody gets exactly what they want, then the government does not actually represent the people.

The existence of the government requires there to be taxation which is theft. The existence of government is unnecessary and evil. The free market can provide everything we need.

Politicians only care about gaining power and staying in power. They do not care about the people. Political influence is purchased for, not voted for. The vote of the average person does not matter.

I am very sorry that you have so little understanding about human civilization, and what the success of our species is built on. I don't know who has done it to you, but we as a society need to hunt them down and stop them.

Sometimes there's just not enough sentience to work with. It needs intervention.
