Dumb people vote for an ideology in which they are plugged in and have confirmation bias, not the person. Politicians are almost all crooked scum on both sides. They do not know who the people are, "Oh (your politician's name here) is such a great man, he wants the best for me!"
Bullshit!
Neither party has our best interest in mind.
Evolution will come when we kick these long time incumbents out and have more than 2 parties to vote for. That is one thing both parties can agree on, suppress a third party!
Isn’t it truly that we want control to exist over others — And yet at the same time we want all manner of control pertaining to our self?
For there to exist authority over someone else — Someone else must lose their authority of themselves. Hmmmmm…… We have a real dilemma
Is it possible we could strive toward a sort of mutual self responsibility, law-by-consensus without a centralized authority?
In the present construct, the State / gov’t is a centralized authority.
— “Institutional "Governments" are agencies of force... they do not persuade, they do not reason, they do not motivate, they do not encourage, they do not resolve disputes. Violence is the only thing they have in their toolbox. Governments have no more power to create morality then rape has to create love.
By its very nature, "government" adds nothing positive to society. It creates no wealth, generates no virtue. It only adds immoral violence and the illusion that such violence is legitimate. Allowing some people to forcibly dominate all others does not contribute to society one speck of talent, ability, productivity, resourcefulness, ingenuity, creativity, knowledge, compassion or any other positive quality of human endeavor. “
