Blind choice is not free choice, and too many aspects of State-controlled life are hidden behind a shroud of complexity.
In the path of an aggressive State, there's really no way to remain above politics. Indifference becomes consent.
This is quite a scary statement. Even where I to make an informed vote (as opposed to my normal strategy of voting for whoever seems least liberal), with only a 1 in 300 millionth say in the process, the State can even take over my life if I say no. Indifference may amount to consent, but failed opposition gets the same results. Tyranny of the majority indeed.
Hat Tip to Linkiest.
