RE: Not Voting Is Silence & Silence Is Consent
Is that still a problem in the cases of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy? "Government" did the right thing in those cases. The problem is improper, illegitimate government (stated in Economic language, it's "surplus order"). In psychological terms, the problem is "obedience to false/illegitimate authority." (Read Milgram's "Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View" for more on this (he even quotes/cites Mises' "Bureaucracy" and Wiener's "Cybernetics").
The political problem is the division of (classical) liberal (libertarian) forces that could otherwise overpower the totalitarian forces, if those in their own camp were not confused by "anarchism" (essentially an anti-quorum-sensing drug for libertarians).
Who has the right to rule me, in part or full?
Who has the right to initiate force against me because I do not recognize their rule?
NO MAN has authority over another man. Show me 'legitimate' authority and I'll show you a group of thugs who might leave YOU alone but are still engaging in the abuse and murder of human beings in the name of 'authority'.
You want masters? Have them. But don't dare to assume that I'm to be owned along side you simply because you refuse to own yourself.
