I'm just trying to bring a little balance of perspective here.

There's a movie quote, "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

I think this perfectly encapsulates Anarchism. When you're playing politics, you may as well walk into a casino and play Roulette. You're walking into their house and playing a game they invented. Good luck.

If you believe the solution to government is political, maybe you've been suckered into a false dichotomy? Maybe there are other perspectives, philosophies, and solutions that you'll never see talked about on ANY talk show.

I'm not protecting them. I would suggest we learn ways/skills to live outside their rule, at least partially. I know Anarchists who do just that. It's a lifestyle change, for sure. Thankfully, the internet helps.

My solution of asking people to disengage from politics and focus on their own lives would sap power away from the elite. Think about it. If people live empowered lives then they won't feel like a victim that needs big daddy. Also, people who vote are not fully informed. Nobody is fully informed. It's not possible. The "Get out the vote" campaign hinges on the uninformed coming out to vote. Government is a faith based institution.
