The whole revolution thing is just wishful thinking in my opinion, or at the very least it won't happen for a good while.
The powers that be are too entrenched to let any thought of toppling them build up any real steam, and frankly people like myself who agree with much of what Brand says in this interview are just too lazy to really go out there and do anything.
And why is that? I'm dumb because I refuse to vote in a system I don't believe in? A system I think is flawed? How exactly does that make me dumb?
Oh and he said he'd never voted at all, not sure what you mean by this.
