When you ask me if I honestly believed the global elite would allow the common man decide the outcome of the most advanced you were not implying? A rhetorical question? Maybe an attempt to get me to reevaluate my perspective.
No, it isn't a rhetorical question nor an attempt to get you to reevaluate your perspective. I don't care about your perspective. You can vote all you like, for whoever you like, for as long as you like. Your answer, if you chose to provide one, would have been a 'gauge' as to how much you
really think the vote matters because you're all over the place. You're suggesting people get involved at "any other level" yet you say, "We know who controls this country, what controls it, and how its run." Why get involved if we know this?
I answered this question when I spoke of precedence.
You did no such thing. You think its going to ignite some type of spark within and that they'll see the light. They won't and they never will.
A better question is where one goes to receive the education "in the areas which really matter"? If you didn't know it they control our educational institutions as well right?
There are things called B-O-O-K-S. There are things called L-I-B-R-A-R-I-E-S. There are websites with credible information pertaining to such subjects. Get out, talk to people, research things, study things do whatever it takes but turn off the tv and stop falling for all the 'feel good' campaigns being shoved down your throat.
However,
YOU'RE the one suggesting they should partake in american politics so this is
YOUR problem not mine.
In reality we're all reformists, operating within the system to change the economic and political structures.
Another pipedream.
Revolutions are necessary to change a society, until one comes this is what it is. I don't think I need to repeat this anymore.
Actively participating in this falsehood called voting will
never pave the way
for a so-called revolution. I don't think I need to repeat this anymore, but I'm sure I will.
Your right but here's some news for you if you were not aware of it, the country has more of both. You say I'm not thinking logically, but this is the hand we were dealt. Politics is war without bloodshed, and politics as we know it is going to be around until blood is shed. Refer to revolution
Politics is war without bloodshed? Do me a favor, google pnac and tell me if that's politics without bloodshed. Yes, this is the hand we were dealt, but does it mean we have to play it? Refer to reality.
I've answered this in my previous posts as well, if you're looking for a long drawn out reason you're not going to get it bro. Its very simple, and requires no more explanation if you've read my other posts.
You're going around in circles. If we follow your logic, and look at history, one will come to the logical conclusion that your way of thinking and method will keep the people in bondage for another 400 years. What your suggesting should be done is NEVER going to lead to ANYTHING radical. How many more centuries do the people need to go through this?
Hey bro, you're the one who made the comment on awareness from the beginning, as if that was the key to knowing how our system works.
I did not say "awareness" was the key to how our system works. I said "attempting to get people to get out and vote is a waste of time and shows no true awareness of how the american political system works." I'm saying attempting to get people
to vote shows a lack of awareness of the true workings, not what you're implying which is awareness is the key to solving our problems. I'm saying no amount of awareness about the system you partake in is going to make a difference. I'm saying Battle attempting to get people to vote shows no true awareness on HIS part, and this holds true for any person partaking in the sham.
But after that we're back to where we began. We've already established what will bring about real change in this country so why we going in circles. As a matter of fact I've already stated that I agree with you on alot in here, but you continue to dig as if you're looking for contradictions, there's nothing there man. Did you not read when I said it's going to take more than political participation and awareness????
You're going in circles, I'm not. When it comes to national or presidential politics, there should be no participation period. Why? Because there is no true participation to begin with. What you're espousing is the comical ideaology that one should choose the lesser of two evils and that doing so will somehow allow the common man to gain a foothold in all of this. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. If everyone in america votes things will remain the same. If everyone in america protests the polls, you then have a way to create a situation were "revolution" is a possibility. Partaking in the system shows you're in compliance with it, non-participation in the system shows you aren't (and the non-participants I'm referring to are those who have a logical reason as to why they don't vote.)
I respect that, but at the same time you're trying to tell me what I should and shouldn't do---->you should stop endorsing a system that has failed the public for hundreds of years now. You see Heresy it goes both ways.
You do realize what that was in response to right? Next time, limit your attacks or choose your words wisely. This doesn't go both ways as I couldn't care less about what you do when it comes to voting. However, I do care when you post absurdities and suggest I sound "dogmatic" when you're here agreeing with me yet you continue to go in circles.
Like I said, I guess I'm guilty of that. Take it how you want too man, it makes me no nevermind. I stop caring about what people thought about me a long time ago bro.
No harm done, I won't mention it again.
I had one question, you scorn political participation (on a national level) as well as public awareness (although you're the one who brought it up). What are some possible ways people can bring about meaningful change in the country? Please don't give me nothing far-fetched crap such as (political participation), but something that's possible, near or distant, it doesn't matter.
Don't partake in the voting process. Demand some other standard besides paper money. Turn off the idiot box, stop participating in every fad and trend that comes along and educate yourself in the areas of math, science and language. Stop relying on technology, stop feeding into capitalism and stop demanding a McDonalized society. Stop going to church every sunday giving your money to the preacher, stop becoming emotionally attached to puppets, stop endorsing wars, stop dividing ourselves according to class, religion, political affiliation etc.
All of this can be done by EACH citizen in the country, yet it will never happen which means change will only come about by one of the things I previously listed.
