The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
#3
RE: The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
Sorry, Ace, but that's not a rant, it's a whinge (you Yanks call it 'whining', I believe). You state more than once that you're not interested in politics, yet go on and on about how your political set-up needs to change. Well, where the fuck do you think political change comes from? People, that's where. People who are hacked off at the system and demand change and cause change. If you're that distressed about how things are going in your country, maybe getting up off the parliamentary side of your arse and actually doing something would make more sense than whinging to a bunch of online strangers. Have you ever donated money to a candidate, volunteered for a campaign, organized a petition? Do you vote? If not, why not? Do you urge your non-voting mates to do so? I doubt it very much, as your posting indicates that if things get bad enough, you're going to run like a rabbit.

What is far more disheartening than the problems inherent in any political system is this Imma-just-stand-back-and-watch-it-burn attitude of yours.
