politics

anyone else think politics are really really boring? I talk about them a lot, but it's usually just to point out the deep seated two-facedness and corruption of the state.

 

i do, I try to avoid talking about hem usually. I don't believe people have much say, and I don't think they ever did the elite will never allow the average person to change a states course against their wishes, and it has never ever been any different

 

This is the reason millions of dumbass's don't think about what they're doing when they vote George Bush.

I'm not saying your a dumbass.. just that this is the reason things like the Iraq war happen. Politics is a prtty boring subject as far as subjects go..

 

hell, most people I've been talking to consider themselves on "the good side" because they're voteing Clinton actually believe she will end the war.

 

I just mean I think talking about it does nothing, it's a pointless exercise. I think actually attempting to change things is a nice gesture, but ultimately a failed one since most people are completely indoctrinated into the system and refuse to be shaken out of their stupor.

 

She won’t end the war, but her election will end of the rein of the tyrant who started the motherfucker


Hotwater

 

i can argue about them for hours, but i do find them to be pretty boring, because its just slooooooooooow and seems to repeat themselves over and over again, i just like to argue about them to someone who say supports conservatism compared to change for the new times for the good, ie decrimilization of maryjane, i have pissed off alot of old conservatives who go door to door to get support for their party and make sure maryjane doesnt get decrimilized, i usually have them soo mad when they leave my front door that they dont even goto the next house they were going to head to, they just leave the neighbourhood haha

 

assuming Bush is even to blame. the guy is an ornament, and I highly doubt he has made a single decision for himself throughout his entire presidency. he isn't evil, just a patsy.

 

haha i wish i had the courage to tell some old guy hes speaking bullshit

 

I don't. I enjoy them thoroughly.

But you have to notice the trend.

Literature is boring. Politics are boring. School is boring.

Der 10-second-attention-span TV generation needs to lay off the weed.

 

its pretty simple, just remember, they come from a time when marijuana became illegal because it was said that if a white woman smoked it, she would have sex with a black man

 

well some of them came from that time haha

 

maybe futile would have been a more apt description than boring.

 

Why is everybody saying 'them', as though politics is many different things? Is that an American thing?

 

it's just bad grammar, which is very American.

edit: but is it? I'm not sure.

 

Then I'd still disagree.

Being apathetic isn't much better than being stupid.

 

The concept that any of the front runners of either party represents any sort of change is an insult. The fact that most people actually believe that one candidate or another is actually going to improve things says to me that the real purpose of the election system keeping the same elements in a position to continue siphoning what regular folks are working harder and harder to get- will remain solidly in place until things get bad enough that there are enough people unable to make any sort of living that statistics will be unable to render them invisible.

The fact that it's boring plays very much into the hands of those currently abusing their power. The more disenfranchised people who find politics so boring that they decline to participate the less likely there will be any substantive change in the current system.

 

It's become vernacular. The same way nobody says this anymore

"The people is revolting" despite the fact it is grammatically correct.

 

hey, at least apathy makes sense! more than the alternatives, anyway.

 

totally agree.

all I'm saying with this thread is that, personally, I find ignorance in society to be dominant and perpetual and isn't something that can be outgrown as a mass movement. in the end, almost everyone will believe what they see on TV, read in the daily's, and vote for who they think they should vote for. it's inertia.
