Voting the world over is a joke. IIRC it was Carlin who said “if voting mattered they wouldn’t met us do it”.

Voting the world over is a joke. IIRC it was Carlin who said “if voting mattered they wouldn’t met us do it”.
- afthonos 4mo agoPeople the world over: (die for the right to vote) One comedian: LOL they only killed them to make you think it was valuable. The Internet: (sagely) What a wise assessment by a wise man of wisdom.
- meta_gunslinger 4mo agoTons of people have died for a variety of causes throughout human history. It does not mean that the causes were not silly or deluded. (e.g religious wars, Communism, Fascism etc.)
- afthonos 4mo agoCarlin didn’t say it was silly, he said it didn’t matter. Religion, communism, fascism were all world-defining ideas, and they very much mattered to those who fought for them and against them. What am I saying, “mattered”. Go check social media, they matter right now.
- meta_gunslinger 4mo agoWell they weren’t silly but they were definitely deluded. They still are.
- dotancohen 4mo agoCarlin was excellent at delivery, but don't confuse clever delivery with wisdom.
