However, in order for this to be true it would require 100% consent and non-compelled participation in the democratic process. Here in America far less than 50% of the eligible population casts a ballot. The two major parties construct the law in such a manner to limit 3rd party participation in order to maintain a false choice paradigm. Given this the ruling class takes it’s “mandate for action” on the say so of maybe 1/4 of the population. It’s part of the matrix used to oppress. Holy crap. I never thought we'd agree on anything of this nature. 10 hours ago, unbillievable said: There are worse ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, fighting giant bugs with small-caliber weapons, no armored vehicles, and no air support is a pretty bad idea, citizenship or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A construct invented by the elite/ruling class in order to justify as legitimate the projection of force towards those they intend to rule. The franchise cannot exist without the state, and the state is not of God. The franchise is part of the chains of servitude. Do YOU vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
