I think voting… more
- southerntofu 5y agoHow so? Has voting ever brought any major social change? If anything, history has shown that when a vote threatens the status quo, an armed coup financed by the industry (and often foreign imperialism) will take place (see: Allende, Sankara, etc). I think the situation about voting is summarized pretty well by this funny rap clip form the 2016 USA elections: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=D9Qv6S_GtLo https://yewtu.be/watch?v=D9Qv6S_GtLo
- djbusby 5y agoMost big societal change was done through riots, not so much voting. Boston Tea Party, Union strikes/riots, guillotine. Oligarchs slow boil the proles until they pop.
