The Right to Shun Voters
Per Bylund at Strike the Root - Mr. Bylund's experience with telling people who ask who he's going to vote for that he doesn't vote has led him to avoid voters, like the plague. [alisvoice]
Voters and political junkies probably don't know it themselves (that's what is so great with brainwashing), but they are double oppressors. They may feel like victims now and then, but it is their system and their policies and they support it by voting. Voters are the people who effectively maintain political power over society and thereby over you. Even though you, being a non-voter, have nothing to do with their system and don't support it in any way, they claim the right to force you to comply with whatever rules they see fit. It is "democratic," you see. They vote and decide what to do with your life and your property; they say it is "freedom," and in a way it is -- their freedom to force you to comply with their rules.
But they do all this indirectly and therefore claim they have no guilt in any injustice caused by the system. Actually, they are voting to minimize such "misuse" of a good system. The reason there is still injustice is that some people tend to vote for the wrong guy/party, or that the right guy/party still hasn't been able (due to budget/time/mandate/whatever constraints) to enact all the necessary laws. Paradise will come, it is just too bad you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelet (and of course you are one of those eggs).
