    Which lead to them maintaining hegemony and us at their whim for our “rights” being ripped away at a moments notice.

      Them? You mean the ones who were doing all that revolting that you so idolize? Now, I’ll be the first to admit that our democracy isn’t perfect - far from it. But if you truly believe in what you’re espousing, why aren’t you out there starting the revolution? What are you doing to change things? What are you doing that is so much better than democracy? All I see is talk. And trying to get people to not vote, which is exactly the kind of talk that mysteriously crops up whenever there’s an important election on the horizon. Who benefits from people not voting? That’s a question you might want to give some serious thought to.

        Because one person cannot start a revolution. Agitate, educate, organise is the methodology.

        Who benefits from people voting? The government, the very thing that should not exist
