Or, instead of being "out of touch, immature, or just content with corruption", things like outlawing abortion, preventing same-sex marriage, and installing theocratic laws don't seem so "lesser" to me.



So you're still lacking perspective for whatever reason. Moralizing laws outweigh occupying other countries in a perpetual war machine while defrauding the plebs by debasing the currency? You're fighting for surface issues whose immediate importance is being constantly emphasized to deflect attention away from any problems that would actually require the establishment to change.

And your highlighted issues are certainly lesser than the associated meta issues that frame the debate, push government into more areas, and cause your issues to even be up for debate. The possibility of a theocratic law banning pornography wouldn't matter as much if Internet traffic weren't tapped and recorded in the first place.
