Exaggerated and made up example of what I’m curious about:

My country has legitimate elections. When my government wrongly convicts someone I feel as if I have personally wronged that person by voting for the person who appointed the judge. God will judge both me and the judge for it.

    Feeling morally responsible for the actions of an entire nation sounds like a great way to give yourself ulcers.

    But seriously, even in a “democracy”, there is too much shady shit going on behind the curtain to really hold the general public accountable for all of it.
