thanks for your comment mate :)
I would argue that it makes no difference WHO is put in place of "president" or leader of any country to be honest. they are in place to make us THINK we have some kind of choice in the matter and can "make a difference", we are give the illusion of choice.
The fact is that these guys are all muppets or puppets.... as in they either have someone pulling their strings or someone has a hand up their ass making them do stuff.
It is only if we realize the faults in our thinking that we are able to TRULY make change, not in the "system" but in ourselves. We can refuse to engage in the system through free and critical thinking. If we abandon the system it can no longer stand, but we persist in having "belief" in the system and thus keep using it, holding out hope that "one day" things will get better if we keep using the system.... they wont.
No doubt, I am not a Statist nor do I vote. If I did vote it would be a fools errand because only the electoral votes determine the outcome. Yet, I also know that the State is not going to magically go away. Even if it does another nation state will attempt to takeover the plantation and fill that power vacuum. Basically, the State is like Negan, except it's not human so it cannot be destroyed. When I see a guy in office who is working to try and benefit the country it makes me more hopeful than someone who is trying to destroy it. I agree that a mass refusal to engage with the system is optimal. Yet, I also know those numbers will never reach a critical mass. So I'll cheer the good choices the potus makes and jeer the bad ones all the while keeping my distance. If times got tough and I had a choice to recieve government money or tree bark I can guarantee you I'd be willing to taste that tree bark and be open to learning new and clever ways to make it taste better.
the more people question themselves and what they believe in the more "woke" they will be. there is a tipping point and we are moving towards it. in the mid 90s NO ONE would talk about these things, it was "tin foil hat" zone and you weree a weirdo for even thinking these kinds of things. Now, maybe one in 20-30 people i meet is either "woke" or is on their way to it. Just remember, time is on our side... yes it is ;)
