“The functioning of a globe-spanning empire is seen as too important to be left in the hands of the voting public — so it isn’t. Nothing that is critical to the empire’s operation is ever on the ballot. They only let voters control a few superficial details about their society which make no difference to the powerful, while placing tremendous significance on elections and their outcomes so that voters really feel like they are making a difference.” — Caitlin Johnstone

Absolutely true! We are so busy fighting with each other over elections and who becomes Dear Leader that we cannot see that none of it makes any difference at all to those who really have control. We think that by voting we are exercising our power, but in the end, it amounts to what is essentially a fart in a whirlwind.
