Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

from what I understand the Nazis didn't exactly win their power democratically but I also don't vote because I'm lazy but I rationalize it as one vote never really makes a difference which has technically always been true. In order to create a logic for voting really mattering you have to assume you're a representative of a larger subset that will hopefully vote which obviously isn't what actually happens. I believe this is known as the free rider problem. I am the free rider.

If they made it online or something maybe

If I'm not even willing to show up every 4 years I'm certainly not willing to be constantly engaged in direct democracy

it wouldn't be about voting in a poll

direct democracy would mean you're actively included in the decision making whether you like it or not in your workplace and local community
sounds like you're referring to co-ops where I'm thinking more in terms of national policy
