    That’s the best part: We’ve painted ourselves into a shitty corner and now we can’t get out without voting for someone we don’t want.

    This is why I’ve given up hope of ever having a government I consent to be ruled by.

        Which is kinda fucked considering the Declaration of Independence says they derive their power from the consent of the governed.

        Which is a lie. Power comes from the monopoly on violence.

        What a stupid world.

            They don’t.

            If I were to non-violently withhold taxes to protest this genocide, the government would violently drag me into prison.

            Non-violent people only have power if there are violent people backing them up.

            It’s not like the guards who walked Ruby Bridges into school were armed with stern faces.
