RE: Exploring the hidden violence behind the ballot box
Great article, more people need to wake up and realize what it is that are actually doing when they vote, many are just happy go lucky about it and look no deeper than the surface level of their action
I agree @staticinstance. It is tough because people don't feel that writing a mark on a piece of paper has any correlation to the violence we witness around us. It is really tough to make the connection as most people fail to recognize the relationships that are formed through that action. They would rather place ALL the blame on the individual who actually did the deed and not reflect on the actions we take to enable the violence to take place to begin with. To admit that we engage in violence is a really tough pill to swallow.
Just watched the video you made that was linked to in your first post, great stuff, everyone should watch it, and it is very brave of you to do what you are doing. It's funny how one is thought of as brave to even think about considering oneself to be sovereign and not wanting to take responsibility for their "ship". Anyway, I'll be reading the rest of your posts and eagerly awaiting the next ones!
