The Ballet Box: Just Another Tool To Manipulate (picture)
Something else to fry your mind–how coerced is your reality?
Having spent considerable time studying ethics and political philosophy, I firmly believe “the ballot box” has become a tool for serf management and the red vs. blue political debate simply the serfs playing that game. In other words, as Jefferson, Calhoun et al predicted would happen, the Govt envisioned and established 220 years ago is long gone and not coming back via the ballot box. Another way of putting this is, you cannot use the system controlled by your exploiters to reduce the exploitation you suffer from.
I can explain briefly here.
1. Politicians and Sr. bureaucrats have the power to legalize injustice. Further, this ruling caste (inner circle) extorts a large portion of the wealth of the citizenry and allocates it to support itself as a going concern.
2. It is quite simple to peddle injustice, both red and blue flavors of coerced morality, economic privilege, and coercive wealth transfer, in return for either a split of the loot or demagogic support.
3. Using these mechanisms, the rulers divide the populace into various castes that are pitted against each other for scraps of the tax loot, and to be more the master and less the slave in the injustice market.
4. #3 ensures enough demagogic support to diffuse resistance to state rule and reduce any serf uprisings to manageable levels, at least while the economy can still support this parasitic caste & their Jr. partners, what I call the 0.01%.
Yes, that bad guy/gal (red or blue) did that bad thing and his/her allies and loyal serfs don’t care while simultaneously decrying what your guy & his friends did wrong (or did what they don’t like). Participating in this activity is self enslaving in the long run!
The nature of politics is such that even if a single politician, say a libertarian, can be elected to fix things, he/she will be forced to compromise, will become corrupted, or will be ejected from the demagogic apparatus by hook or crook. via twitter
