Some YouTube commenter said this on my recent TFTC appearance :

He is suggesting that voters are responsible for government actions by participating in voting. That by voting you are an enabler. That is illogical. If no one voted (except the politicians voting for themselves), we would arguably have a much worse government, as only the most power hungry, corrupt people would run, vote themselves in & make laws that benefit themselves to the detriment of the rest of society. I hear anarchists use the same flawed argument.

I find it a shame he didn't chose to post the comment on Nostr, as I'd love to discuss this point. I find it interesting that a voter chooses to participate and yet wishes not to be held responsible for the actions of the elected government. People really do consider themselves separate from the government, when in truth the government has power because it is given by its people.

What does Nostr think?
