RE: Voting with our actions: Choosing our future.

in #life7 years ago

Interesting article. People want to choose their own destiny.
It appears today, at least in industrialized nations, many are struggling to maintain the slightest amount of autonomy they still have so they can create the lives they want.
I believe we only have the illusion of choice in regard to the voting booth. The plutocracy and corporatocracy have assumed control of elections and candidates. We can vote however we want. Indeed, even at local levels, races are now financed by global actors.
Voting with our feet may be the last choice left for many and even then it may not be that easy to move elsewhere for economic reasons, stalking by the taxman, immigration laws (depending on who one is and where one is going).

Well, in the United States they have easy access to guns, I doubt that this can be found in another country, so leaving the United States in search of more freedom and true democracy will be quite difficult. In Europe there is not, in Asia either, in Africa and Latin America less. Voting with actions, not just with your feet, can be very helpful.
