RE: The art of non-voting
I do not respectfully disagree, I disrespectfully disagree with you, because you are advocating violence.
"If you are willingly a citizen of the United States of America, by default you indeed consent to be ruled by whoever is duly elected to any office representing the jurisdiction where you reside."
That is not how consent works. Being born on a particular patch of land does not give anyone permission to rule over me. By that logic the slaves had no means to rebel against against their masters.
Consent works like this: If I say NO to something, and you go ahead and do it anyway, you are a violent thug.
I am the owner of my life, not you, not the politicians. Of course, you would never have the balls to attempt to violate my freedoms in person, so being the statist coward you are, elect the state as a proxy to enforce your views upon myself and others.
You see, some of us just want to be left the fuck alone, but control freaks like yourself want to impose your views upon others and tell people what they can and can not do. Here's a thought: Do whatever the fuck you want, so long as you're not harming others.
"I don't care one way or the other that you don't like Trump."
I couldn't give two shits about Trump. I do not consent to be ruled by ANYONE.
I never said anything about giving consent by being born, but rather, as an adult who can move to anywhere in the world, inhabited or otherwise, the fact that you choose to remain under state rule is all the consent the government needs to rule over you, particularly if you are making use of anything provided or sanctioned by the governnment.
In your day-to-day life, do you make use of any publicly-funded services, facilities, or infrastructure? Were you taught to read and write by public school teachers? Have you ever received medical care by a doctor in a public hospital? Have you ever used a public library? Do you travel on roads or highways?
If you were to live with any sort of integrity, you would find some uninhabited patch of land where you can practice total self-rule, and not have to compromise yourself by using goods, services, and infrastructure built and paid for by other people. Of course, that would also mean staying off the internet, as it was developed by western democracies, particularly via the US Department of Defense. The fact that you are even communicating through this medium exposes your commitment to self-rule as fraudulent.
I'm guessing you simply don't have the integrity to live as a savage in the wilderness - after all, that would mean having nobody to listen to your brand of stoner politics, along with your meaningless declarations of self-rule, while enjoying the fruits of things built and paid for by other people.
