🛑 3 Reasons Why You Should Stop Voting (And What You Should Do Instead)
Get beyond the booth - you are worth more than a puppet show
Election season is upon us in America, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Did I say election season?
I meant selection season.
Here’s how it works:
Candidates are selected by parties.
These parties are bankrolled by corporate elites — the same elites who control all the media; the same media that will never ever ever give a freedom fighter a second of air time.
You get to vote for which of their political puppets gets to ransack and pillage your nation for the next term in order to return maximal profits to said corporate elites.
Welcome to (s)election season.
Save your poll worker some time and toss your ballot directly in the nearest recycling can.
But seriously, here are three reasons why you should stop voting immediately.
(Followed by what you should do instead.)
1. You are participating in a delusion
The forest grew thinner,
but the trees still voted for the axe.
For the axe was clever
and convinced the trees that,
because his handle was made of wood,
he was one of them.
— Aesop
What’s really bad is that people know American/Canadian/British democracy is a fraud, but they continue to play along with the charade.
This has a profound psychological effect on people.
It trains them for perpetual servitude.
They know they are dancing monkeys, court jesters, yes-massa slaves.
But deep down, their psyches know the hard-to-accept truth: They don’t live in a democracy.
All “elections” are sham elections, because no country on Earth, ever, at any point in history has had democracy.
Democracy, for those who’ve forgotten that words still sometimes have meanings, comes from the Greek words dêmos krátos, meaning “rule of the people.”
Democracy = one (1) equal vote for every single citizen.
But the people don’t rule nations. The rich do.
America (and Britain, and Canada) are all dictionary-definition plutocracies.
Plutocracy comes from the Greek words ploutos kratos… rule of the rich.
Is your country ruled by the people or the rich?
Until your country delivers one equal vote for every citizen on every issue, stop calling your country a “democracy.”
To call your country a democracy is to do real damage to your psyche.
It’s called cognitive dissonance.
You are literally lying to your subconscious self, and if Freud and Jung taught us anything, it’s that lying to your subconscious leads to serious neuroses.
To knowingly lie to yourself is to choose to dis-integrate your life.
Ever wonder why mental health problems are at an all-time high and the next generation is in crisis?
It’s because our souls know the truth, but we refuse to integrate it.
2. You are collaborating with evil
Corporate elites give us a false dichotomy.
Vote for this abhorrent (red/blue) sociopath, or this slightly-less abhorrent (blue/red) sociopath. Flip the colors if you live in Canada or the UK.
But either way, you’re still voting for an abhorrent sociopath.
Either way, you’re still voting for someone who will, guaranteed, continue to quietly dismantle your nation for the sake of private profits.
You know your “choice” at the ballot box is a false dichotomy.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
To knowingly vote for an abhorrent sociopath who will dismantle your nation is to willfully collude with evil.
3. Voting is a waste of your time
I saw a joke on Twitter a few months ago.
It said something like,
“Tonight I taught my kids about democracy.
First, they all voted on pizza toppings and which movie they wanted to watch.
Then I chose the pizza and the film because I have all the money.”
You have simply got to bang these nine words into your head and then sledge-hammer them into the heads of everyone you know.
Voting
doesn’t
work
because
politicians
don’t
work
for
you.
They work for their sponsors.
NEVER assume politicians have good intentions and your best interests at heart.
They don’t.
They can’t.
Because they don’t work for you. They work for their corporate sponsors. Politicians are mere supplicants, worshippers at the altar of corporate profits. Everything must be sacrificed to the god of Mammon — all public assets, your home, every minute of your working life, and every ounce of your health. All of it must be privatized, monetized, and monopolized. You are not a citizen, you are a subject, a corporate slave who exists to create profits for the richest people in human history.
Know your place, serf!
What to do instead of voting
It’s really quite dead simple:
If we want to control this country, we need to start acting like the people who control this country.
That’s right.
If we want a democracy, we’re going to have to buy the government.
Here’s how corporate elites buy countries:
They fund the political parties.
They fund the campaigns of their candidates.
They lobby-bribe their sponsored politicians once they’re in office.
It costs roughly $10 billion per term to control America and its $6.5 trillion in annual US Federal Government spending.
To put it in perspective: If you could invest $1,000 to control how $2.6 million would be spent, without any real accountability, do you think you could find a way to get your $1,000 back with at least a little profit?
That’s literally what corporate elites do when they buy Congress.
They invest $10 billion, and over the next four years, they get to determine how $26 trillion gets spent. So naturally, a fraction of one percent — tens of billions — magically makes its way back to their companies in the form of government contracts, purchasing public assets at discounted prices, insider information, protections for their monopolies, and so much more.
For a mere $2.5 billion per year, the everyday American masses could buy back the nation.
That’s just nine bucks per voter.
How’s that for the Democracy Party’s slogan?
Democracy, for just two cents a day!
Servant leaders need to start true-democracy parties, and the masses need to bankroll them so they can steamroll the corporate parties.
If You Must Vote
If you absolutely “must” vote… vote for local, honorable, independent, truly democratic, moral, non-sociopathic, anti-partisan, anti-corporate candidates.
But that’s just throwing away your vote!
Stop it.
Stop retarding your own brain.
You only throw away your vote when you consciously choose to lie to your subconscious and collaborate with evil by accepting the false dichotomy of voting for an abhorrent sociopath who is guaranteed to dismantle your nation for the sake of private profits.
When you vote for an independent democratic candidate, you take a moral and principled stand before God and man that you will no longer play a role in the mockery of democracy and the destruction of civilization.
To continue to vote red and blue is to admit your own insanity, complicity, and — at this point in the human story — villainy.
Watch Jared A. Brock’s documentaries about slavery and trafficking and read his myth-busting biography about Jesus’s politics, economics, and philosophy.
I recognize, along with you, that there is no such thing as a truly democratic government. I concur that the vast majority of politicians are corporate lackeys who serve their paymasters rather than their constituents. In reading your article, Jared, I was reminded of the old anarchist slogan, “If voting changed anything, they’d only abolish it”.
Yet, despite understanding your reasons for choosing not to vote as well as knowing how far the US falls short of being a true democracy, I shall nonetheless vote in November’s election. Here’s why. The coming election is not your normal contest between the two corporate parties where one is slightly less evil than the other. This election will determine whether the very limited freedom that we enjoy right now is going to be forever obliterated. One party is led by a man who has stated his willingness to be a dictator. One party that is running is a fascist party who will abolish whatever limited choices we have if they win the election. If they win, then sooner or later people like you and me will be rounded up and sent to concentration camps.
You have rightly spoken in your writings about the importance of community. When I vote I do so not for my own sake but for those who are unlike me who would be the first victims of the fascists should they come to power. I’m talking about the undocumented immigrants, the LGBTQI community, the people whom the fascists will eliminate first. It was the inability of the German left (the Social Democrats and the Communists) to form a united front in the 1932 Reichstag elections, that allowed the Nazis to get 33% of the vote and persuade their president, Hindenburg, to appoint Adolf Hitler as Chancellor. Let’s defeat today’s Nazis first. Then, we can credibly deploy the argument that “fascism is the decay of capitalism” and argue for a society where power derives legitimacy from the consent of the masses.
We should remember the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller about Nazi Germany;
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
You’re saying the quiet part out loud. I don’t necessarily disagree. The question is how do we mobilize the masses to organize in a way that 1) convinces them of this reality, 2) gets them to donate) 3) continues an organization that either continues with a representative government by running candidates from an independent people’s party or fund an app that enables all eligible voters to vote on all government spending (which assumes individuals will educate themselves enough to make informed decisions on every issue and vote.) Do we disband congress? How to prevent this from devolving into bribes and fraud?
The concept appears simple, but the implementation is anything but. Let’s draw out a map/plan and circulate. Maybe just the threat of it would change the dynamics of politics some?
Thought provoking. Thanks
