Larken Rose 2 hrs I believe it was that opportunistic, lawless power-happy tyrant Abraham Lincoln who first spoke about "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people." It was bullshit when he said it, and it has been bullshit ever since. But the bullshittiness of that saying is now more obvious than ever. Those in power don't give a crap about you, and don't give a crap what you want. The ruling class chooses the rulers you get to "choose" from, which means your "choice" is a worthless joke. The two choices the establishment gives you have slightly different rhetoric, but always nearly identical behavior. You can vote for narcissistic authoritarian collectivist A, or narcissistic authoritarian collectivist B. The fact that you have two "choices" doesn't make it any less ridiculous than, for example, Soviet Russia under Stalin, where the people had the right to vote ... but had one "choice" to vote for. If, as ridiculously bogus as it is now (with what just happened at the DNC being only one example), you still play the game and vote, you are essentially proclaiming to the political masters that you will fall for absolutely anything--that it doesn't matter how transparently silly the circus gets; you will still legitimize the game and empower the establishment by "choosing" to be a slave, allowing them to keep telling you that they "represent" you, and that you "consented" to this. "Well at least I'm doing something!" Yes, you are doing something ... something stupid and counter-productive, while the tyrants laugh at your pathetic gullibility. Have fun with that.
