    The point of it being a rigged game, is that those would win by default either way. We were fucked so long as people are expecting parliamentary democracy to fix systemic issues and do nothing else to directly improve their situations.

    We don’t have to all agree on how to fix things, we just have to do direct action to fix things for ourselves and those close to us, and it incidentally tends to fix the system as well.

    Nihilistic apathy just leads to more suffering but it’s incidentally exactly what the system expects of you, which is why parliamentarism is set up the way it is.
