Five Reasons Why You Should Never Vote in a Political Election
Nov 12, 2020
- Blood guilt. The act of voting means that you are selecting somebody to represent you and act on your behalf. In a spiritual and a moral sense (rather than a legal one), this makes you partly “responsible,” for any decisions made by the leader of your chosen party, even if you don’t actually support those decisions. Most world leaders have a lot of innocent blood on their hands. Do you?
- System endorsement. Whichever party or person you vote for, you are ultimately showing your support for a wholly corrupt and dyfunctional system, even if the candidate who you are voting for is supposedly ‘against’ that system, or seeks to reform it.
- Surrender of power. By voting you are giving your consent to be governed by external forces. Nothing will change until we stop giving away our power in this manner and start using it to create the change we want, at a grass-roots level.
- It’s a form of violence. By voting you are attempting to impose your will upon others, which is a form of violence.
- It’s meaningless. The real power that controls this world exists independently of national governments. Democratic choice has always been an illusion.
