Not voting doesn't make you better, smarter, or more aware of what's going on.
Drop the fucking superiority complex. I get it. I'm not pretending like some orange politician is going to save me.
But he can save Ross. That's good enough for me.
Eat a dick, respectfully, if that rubs you the wrong way.
It's childish. Stop demanding all or nothing. You're not consenting to anything by casting a vote. However by not voting, you're consenting to let your fellow citizens make the choice without you. Government is not going away just because you close your eyes, cover your ears, and scream like a toddler. There will be a next president of the United States, and a next and a next, whether you participate or not.
you and the amish are going to FREE ROSS!
The only people more cringe than politicians are people who think they are above politics.
They pay half their income to pedophiles and think all they have to do is buy some Bitcoin, and all will be right with the world.
Much respect for the people who can see the fallen world for what it is but still try to make the best of it.
I don’t believe to be above or below politicians. I would describe my relationship with them as distant. I just realized they are irrelevant if you make the right choices. I live my life in a way that serves me, and I don’t wait for another human to improve my life. Whenever I wanted change or didn’t agree with something, I simply left and moved somewhere better. I’ve lived in many countries; each time I moved, my life improved significantly. Leaving really is the ultimate voting hack. The beauty of the world is that you don’t need politicians to change things for you; there are always places where the changes you seek already took place. You do, however, have to be comfortable with change, and most people aren’t. In my case, I do pay some taxes, and I happily do so because they aren’t illogically high. Those who pay half their income in taxes should probably evaluate their situation. I would understand why voting then becomes so critical to their lives.
So, were the politicians in office irrelevant to the people of Springfield, OH, or countless other places across the country whose quality of life has suffered? Or did they just not make the right choices?
I cannot speak to what you reference because I don’t know what happened. But I personally come from a place that doesn’t compare to the US, and I know I had a choice, and I left. It was hard, I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway. And I didn’t wait for anyone to make the world around me better. Those who stayed, they’re not in a good place even though they keep voting harder. They haven’t figured out that politicians are irrelevant when it comes to improving ones place in the world
If politicians are irrelevant, why did you have to leave?
Don’t get me wrong, I say they are irrelevant regarding my quality of life in a particular jurisdiction. They of course are relevant in the impact they create in their jurisdiction over a long period of time. But whether we like it or not, they will do whatever their power allows them to do. Until that power is capped (bitcoin may do this), your vote is just an illusion for you to think you’re involved in the decision making. This is why I have learned that one cannot get attached to a specific location, as in time, that attachment will be used against me by those in power. If you put yours and your family’s wellbeing as your priority, then you simply can ignore what politicians do until it bothers you, in which case you simply move and leave the problem behind. There is always a place coming up as one is going down. It is in this way I see them as irrelevant. Unfortunately humans cannot have nice things for long, and when a society figures out a great status quo, overtime, that society will take it down. There is much precedent about the cycles of civilizations. Once, the best place to be at was Athens, and Rome, and London... And it will keep changing.
Not voting does make a difference.
After the Civil War, the freed slaves still didn't have Citizenship because every American was a Citizen of their state. There was no such thing as a U.S. citizen. Either you were a New Yorker, or a Hoosier, or one of the other states.
To give the emancipated slaves a status, the Federal govt made them citizens of the District of Columbia. What's vital to understand is the US Supreme Court said this 2nd class citizenship is not equal to state Citizenship because the former slaves only have privileges and obligations by their Federal citizenship. They don't have the Bill of Rights granted to the states by the Constitution.
Over many decades, the govt ever so gradually changed their reference of Federal (14th Amendment) citizenship to the better marketing term, "U.S. citizenship". This is where they enslaved us all. When you assert you are a U.S. citizen, the Supreme Court deems you to have traded in your state-birn rights for Federal privileges.
They've created multiple ways for a state Citizen to naturalize himself as a U.S. citizen. One of those ways is voting for the next CEO of the UNITED STATES CORPORATION which is based in District of Columbia. In exchange for the privilege to cast that vote, you become obligated to all the Federal statutes that govern its citizens.
If you want to be as free as the 1700s, 1800s Americans, you must not identity as a U.S. citizen. Do not include yourself in their program.
It literally does. Ross is just some guy. Ask yourself why you don't have as much of a boner to save the literal MILLIONS of people imprisoned for other bullshit just as egregious as Ross' case. Because some influential person told you to care. Participating in the system tacitly says you don't care about THOSE people just to save a guy you don't even know. Think dude.
My humble suggestion would be don’t make a public post if you can’t handle a different opinion without getting triggered. Your reaction says more about you than you probably realize. I have no sense of superiority for my opinion, it is just what I believe.
Someone said it better:
We reject: kings, presidents, and voting.
We believe in: rough consensus and running code.
—David Clark,1992
The elections are rigged. Trump is a clown. I wish good luck to Ross.
I don't personally like to eat dicks. I can't vote in my state, but today when I saw a vandalized Trump and Keri Lake sign, I fixed it. Still doing my part!
I'm all to Free Ross and no more war.
Just remember that if they wont vote to free ross, they wont vote to free you, these people are not your friends or your community. They are the enemy within
