The Don't Vote Party November 8th 2016

in #voting8 years ago (edited)

It goes on some tangents, but this is the way I see it.

To vote in national elections at least as it is honestly experimentally known by you the people where I've lived, is to participate in a drama filled incalculably expensive criminal popularity contest based on lies, that is its proven track record.

Do not do what you think you shouldn't do!
Like kill, or blow up mountains or dump toxic pollutants into water or create atomic weapons(or vote for "the lesser of 2 evils"), or whatever you think you shouldn't, even if the propaganda is to hypnotize you with 'duty' and fear or orders because they hired you for fancy fiat currency with it's special printed patriotic national symbols on it, do not do what you think and feel you shouldn't do!

About the Money...
All money has value as people give value to it, people learn this value as they absorb cultural propaganda & socialization, then they give it all a common value that they were taught to give it and can use it as a way to lower carrying costs, making trade easier and more efficient, if an anthropologist were to look at it, it'd seems like a natural common adaptive behavior of the human species.

The money that proliferates weapons and wars...
How does the war machine get us to give it our life, our acceptance and our value or money?
One way that's critical to the operation as it stands is by giving their system your/our consensual vote, of course this is done symbolically with the actual ballot, but also, and probably more importantly by people spending so much of their time and attention in becoming "informed voters", voting to take our attention away from our own felt presence of direct experience with our own lives, our own land, lovers, & neighbors then instead giving your/our attention to their celebrity-politician-"reality"-tv-show-news-room-dramas & the overt and covert commercials there-in. Attention from the time of childhood in the form of the governmental prussian indoctrination school systems(look it up, it's what our schools have been based on) to the TVs at airports and the lies and the confusion and the terrible and the entertaining on news media... attention away from our lives in Nebraska or Florida or Wyoming and onto a bloody ugly reality TV show sponsored by our attention to its misinformation and propagandas.

On one level it looks like it's 'their' fault, but in truth it is in the individual people's own hands and until we accept personal responsibility it will always be the same excuses "just follow(ing) orders".

Hitler, Bush, Putin, Obama, Truman, Clinton, Trump.. all of them serve as scapegoats for individual people's individual decisions.

*** BUT if it is true that you/we give them/it their legitimacy by your/our participation, THEN you & we can unplug to stop the unnecessarily expensive criminal lie filled war sponsoring & weapons proliferating thingy and instead put more effort into our gardens and friends! (y)

HERE'S A STRATEGY! :)
Consider this.... Don't vote for their very stuffy and their bloody collective Borg parties. :)

2 QUESTIONS
*Question #1: What to do instead?

+Answer 1. DO HAVE A PARTY... things TO do!!
Have your own damn party... yours could be a peaceful walk in the park, could include card games, service projects, cuddling, bbq, singing songs, hanging out at old folks homes, planting a garden, mowing the yard(s), cleaning the basement, cleaning your city, playing cards, creating a product, making love, just voting to do something good...

Vote to unplug from the matrix, consider turning off the TV, instead taking walks in the park, taking pauses, noticing nature and babies, petting dogs, playing music, watching a movie(but didnt you say to turn off the TV? ;) ), cleaning your bathroom, being present to the sensations in your body or of the breath and the movement of the world around your immediate presence, accepting things the way they are, and/or making and executing you own life plans...


*Question #2: How is this effective?
(In other words, besides actually doing service projects and cleaning stuff and inviting neighbors, does the message of voting for nobody actually do anything to effect the fact that other people might vote for the worst of the bad decisions made available and thus their decision will be forced upon us all and then the possibility of a horrific nightmare because and creation of another Hitler, or a Stalin, or a Moa because you/we/me didn't vote but others still did?)

+Answer 2. How is this effective?
Strategic things that could be done to address that question.
-Decide what you're gonna do, how you're gonna party, what you're gonna vote to DO.
-Make simple or make it grand.
-Invite people to do the same, create their own, or join you :)
-Document how you and friends voted(videos, pictures, words, hashtags).eg ‪#‎ivotedtoparty‬
-Show/share it to people and to social networks and distrubtion networks.
-Creative hashtags‪ #‎thisishowivoted‬ ‪#‎createyourowndamnpart2016‬ ‪#‎votedtoparty‬ ‪#‎thisishowivote‬ ‪#‎communitserviceprojectNov8th2016‬ ‪#‎dontvoteparty2016‬ #thedontvotepartynovember8th2016
*Post the evidence of something good(grand of simple or both) done. :D
*Make it obvious that the people have decided to pay the DC election thing less and less attention, while actually making a difference by doing something else.
*-Maybe eventually make used to be know as voting for DC day a totally different kind of a Holiday... In Russian they had a holiday when everyone got off work together and cleaned their cities it was really a great day and a cool thing to experience.
-Get a poll or an estimate of how many people voted to party this year, invite more to join for the next don't vote party. Get a poll of how many votes voted not to vote.

Side note : it(peace) can be found in the being present to whatever's going on, despite whatever's going on or happens in regards to geo-political, party, or family & life & neighbors & friends drama take some time to pause even if it's going how ya had hoped it wouldn't go or exactly so, absorb some inner stillness, silence, deep breaths, & rest, this kind of meditation is the most autonomous willful free peace activating act an individual can perform, it seems like it's one of the only things that doesn't rely on getting others to join in, doesn't cost a thing.
