VOTING ...... THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE

in #politics8 years ago (edited)


 With just two days left until voting begins in the UK who will emerge victorious come Friday? What sweeping changes will they make to our daily lives? Will they lower our taxes, will they tackle terrorism, will they revive the shambolic health care service?? 


I literally haven't been this excited since my last trip to the dentist! Detect a hint of cynicism ...... Well allow me to explain why.

 
When attempting to explain to the average blue pill munching, mainstream watching zombie that voting is a ritual designed to give the masses the 'illusion' that they have a choice, Im always met with the same preprogrammed, Stockholm syndrome responses .... " IF YOU DON'T VOTE YOU CANT COMPLAIN" or "BY NOT VOTING ITS A VOTE FOR THEM" 


Actually like most "arguments" spoon fed to the masses the complete opposite is true. To vote is to participate in 'their' system, its fundamentally a conformation vote. Its giving validity to a system that pushes the very worst among us to the positions of power. Greedy, weak, compromised, sexual deviants are well rewarded for being the necessary firewall between us and the real power ... corporations and banks.



THEY ARE NOT LEADERS THEY ARE MISLEADERS. 


Politics is just an act, these creatures are well paid actors, the script doesn't change wether you vote red or vote blue .... and neither do the "Directors"
Its like changing your waiter in a terrible restaurant but leaving the same chef in place to keep serving you up the same old shit food. 

  Einstein famously said "The definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". That pretty much makes anyone who has lived through more than one election cycle and still thinks it makes a difference to vote .... INSANE. This isn't a "democracy" its a "corperatocracy" not rule by the people but rule by the elites and their corporate and banking interests. 


People who willingly participate in this system support a foreign policy of destabilisation and destruction, debt and death, they support the selling of arms to regimes with some of the worst human rights records on the planet while demonising much more peaceful nations who don't do as they are told, they support a domestic policy of tolerating "terrorism" and denying any responsibility for creating it, they support the widening divide between the have nots and the have yachts, they support endless debt, they support environmental destruction, they support corporate power, they support child molestation in the highest positions of power and support the blocking of any real justice...... Is this really worth voting for? 


In reality though we do have real power and we do have a vote that means something. In a corperatocracy the real vote is not in the realm of politics but where you spend your money. This is why their election illusion is so important, to distract from where we can really make a difference. Vote against corporate power by spending as little of your hard earned money as possible in their businesses. Turn off their TV stations and boycott their banks. Take back power and take back responsibility. Be your own central bank, grow some of your own food and give your custom to small local business .... Get into bitcoin and cryptocurrencies ...... Theres many solutions to the huge problems in the political system, but one thing that won't change anything is giving them your vote!

"The desire to be a politician should be enough to ban you from ever becoming one"~ Billy Connolly

Excellent, excellent article, hits the truth completely. Upvoted!

Thanks alot for the kind words Eric , Im following you also.

I would personally not say that it´s the politicians themselves who are the people responsible for the screwing over. They are just like you said, puppets of the ruling class which are the richest capitalists. I don´t understand how it would be in any way possible for the world NOT to continue like this while we are living in a capitalist system.

I respectfully disagree that we live in a capitalist system , theres no capital in the system for a start its all debt. Plus the very obvious bailing out of huge banking interests that are "too big to fail" thats the complete opposite to a capitalist system where the free market should decide if a business sinks or swims not the state. Capitalism would have no central planning either, so no central banking, no central intelligence etc. This system is an oligarchy, a corperatocracy, a kleptocracy , a plutocracy maybe ..... one thing it isn't is what mainstream tell you it is. Politicians are puppets I agree but willing puppets. They are people who want dominance over others and this makes them at best sociopaths and at worst psychopaths.

Funny I was thinking about that video when I saw the title for the post. George Carlin is f'in classic.
But i agree totally. Voting gives a false sense of representation and also makes people subconsciously submissive to the government. You basically voting for who you're going to allow to be in control of your life 😒

George Carlin is a legend , you know your living in crazy times when comedians speak the most truth in a society !

"If you vote, you have no right to complain. You gave up the right to complain when you decided to participate."

Nice article! I have upvoted your post, can you help me to upvote my post too? Thanks

Thanks , glad you liked it ..... I enjoyed your posts too, upvoted and followed :)

I agree wholeheartedly with this post. Followed for sure.

Thanks alot for the support ill follow you back.

People are brainwashed from an early age to think not only that your vote counts but it's wrong not to vote.
Load of shite. Voting for the selected puppets is embarrassing and no self respecting person should ever take part.
What are the choices.? A control freak, a deluded commie, a moron & numerous other halfwitted sociapaths.
Screw that I'm out.

Haha "a deluded commie" I like that ... thanks for the comment @tremendospercy I like your content and I follow you so appreciate your opinion

Thanks man I appreciate that.

Yep I'm with there with you! I did vote to leave EU but that's about the extent of my voting.....Elections are about voting for opposite sides of the same coin

Same. I came out of police exile to vote out of the EU.
The rest is a dog and pony show.

I agree I think the EU vote showed that if we had a genuine democracy we could all vote on the individual issues rather than for a puppet to make our decisions for us for 4 years, if everyone can vote for Xfactor every week why not on things that matter.

That's a very valid point. The powers that be would argue that it would be too expensive. But if it was done like the Xfactor, it would be us paying for it!!!

I like your perspective...very true!!

Appreciated, its good that so many people seem to see through these illusions now :)

Its because we've been there seen it all before!

The acting/actor analogy is bang on!!

They even pass things they call "acts" of parliament haha
