Especially now, seems like most Governments are decoupled from the people they are supposed to represent.

Governments were never representative of the people lol
On their birth they were.
A handful of people who met secretly to overthrow the British government is not representative of the people
If we are to believe history. Although I am no Historian, were they not protecting themselves from undue taxation and Governmental overreach? Once the freed themselves against the British they tried to make a constitution that would make it difficult to oppress the people yet… all it takes is time, loop holes, lawyers, corruption to erode what might have been a honest attempt to govern many people.
I suppose doing something secretly in the face of tyranny may be the only safe way to start out.
A fruit good for a limited amount of time. I view Governments and politicians much the same way. The longer they are left out the more the elements and predators consume them. Rotting, infecting and spoiling them.
Correct. Instead, they replaced one government with another. Then they imposed that government on everyone else simply for being in that region. Now Americans pay 50% tax instead of just a 2% tax on tea. Congratulations.
