Election day approaches- Avoid the trap

I'm completely serious:
Don't vote!
I'm not even saying you shouldn't vote because it lends a false air of
legitimacy to an illegitimate system. Or because it encourages
them- the control-freaks- to keep on "governing" as long as
people keep consenting to be
governed. I won't point out that if non-voting were not
a threat to the illegitimate system, they wouldn't keep pressing that
idea of "It doesn't matter WHO you vote for, just
VOTE!" I won't even tell you you shouldn't
vote because it is wrong for a majority to violate the
rights of even one person.
Those are all true, of course, but not why I say today
"Don't vote".
There are more practical reasons. Such as
voting is an utter waste of your time. You could always find
something more meaningful to be doing. The system is completely and
totally rigged, and you can not improve the quality of your life one
iota, in Albuquerque or anywhere else, by
voting.
Don't vote!
If you have any brains, yet vote anyway, your vote will be drowned
out by the vast numbers of voters who are clueless idiots and
vote with their feelings. That's how Mr. Hopenchange got
elected, you know. And how Mr.
"Withus-er-with-the-terrerists" got elected before
that. While most people mean well, most people are not
smart enough or aware of reality enough that they should be
deciding anything for anyone else, even if doing so were not
wrong. They feel that
new "laws" will actually help people, and they allow themselves
to be led down whatever path the
Rulers point them toward. Don't be like them.
Don't vote.
No candidate who would actually be a threat to the status quo will
ever be allowed to take office, if they even manage to get on the
ballot and then get enough votes counted in their favor to win.
Never. Democrats and Republicans have the game fixed.
Tea Party Republicrats are not serious about smaller government, except
on the socially
"conservative" (and
still completely
statist) issues they value, and LP candidates who are on the
ballot are not going to be rogue enough to change anything, and
may even be statist wolves in
libertarian clothing. Even if they are
liberty-embracing good guys, they will be powerless while the rest of
the establishment politicians and bureaucrats conspire to fight over
who gets to control the rudder of the government train while knowing
that whoever wins the election, the train will stay on the
tracks. If one side [sic] wins, they will advance their own
anti-liberty agenda for a while, until the other side [sic] wins,
and then an anti-liberty agenda coming from a different direction will be
advanced. It's just like
being swallowed by a snake. Yet there are some agenda items
that remain the same through it all. Such as
The War on (some)
Drugs and the War on
Guns. And theft in the
name of
entitlements and
military spending.
Police State USA will never be threatened by those working
within the system.
Don't vote!
Even in cases where you feel you are voting in self defense such as
against a tax or for "legalization" of marijuana, if the
results are unpleasant enough for the government or take away some power,
the results will be ignored. "Legalizing" pot, but
then "taxing and regulating" it is no real improvement.
You are just shifting the enforcement power to a different branch of
government. And that power will still be used to steal
money, and to
kidnap and
kill
innocent
people. Remember that "gun control", such as the
National Firearms Act of
1934, wasn't originally a ban on functional firearms and
safety equipment, but a "tax" scheme. Look how many
people have been destroyed or killed through that.
Don't waste your time voting. Actually
do something
real, and ignore or violate the results of the election in
whatever way you can until the
train of The State goes off the cliff. Jump off now
while you still can. Don't vote.
Since it is claimed that government exists by the consent of "the
governed", remove your consent by refusing to
participate in the rigged game that is placed before you. I
do NOT
consent. I will not be legitimizing those who seek to use you
for Soylent Green. I will not be asking that force be used against
you just because you are in the "minority". Not on my
behalf! I will not be voting.
Join me. Don't vote.
