Not clear. What would be the good thing. And what is "we", what is that silence: I denounce that of the britons as a set. We are pretty vocal.
The good thing to push is demanding decent administrations and operators (e.g. in information systems), selected from and evaluated by decent neighborhoods.
I said that your statement «If we want a good thing we should push for the good thing instead of remaining silent while worse people push for the worse thing» is not clear. I specified that it is not clear what you mean with «good thing», who do you mean with «we» and what do you mean with «silence» - I remarked that the "we" I am part of is pretty vocal.
I also said that if we should "want a good thing" and push for it, that would be a decent society of capable people from which capable administrators (and journalists and communicators all the interfaces from decision makers to public) are selected: decent societies would vocally demand what is due and decent administrations would provide it, and that would radically avoid the horrible mess and subsequent terror that incompetence and feeblemindedness and twisted incentives are instead currently generating.
