I'm so sick people thinking if they don't like the system, they can just not be a part of it. There will always be a system, and you will always be affected by it. There is no system that runs in autopilot. Even in the best case scenario, where there is revolution (we don't need to talk about the 50 years of violent unrest that follows violent revolution, right?) there will still be a system, you'll still be a part of it, it will still be vulnerable.

The Cost of freedom is eternal vigilance, the cost of not participating is even higher.

@bobjmsn @RickiTarr

no, recent policy is determined by whose lobbyists spend the most on 'gifts' and 'donations'.

@Thebratdragon @bobjmsn @RickiTarr

And how do you fix that?

You show the fuck up to vote

What does "the system is fucked" and walking away do?

You are simply ceding control to them

The lie is that you can just walk away

There's no where to walk away to

@benroyce @Thebratdragon @bobjmsn @RickiTarr Exactly. The only way of opting out of humanity is to literally kill yourself. Or become a Republican.
