...Is that people who vote and who believe in external solutions are beyond toxic and they don't even know it.
So I'm watching Alex Becker's latest video. If you don't know who Becker is, he's pretty much Caleb but probably 15 years younger. In his latest video, he talks about 4 really bad mindsets that people have that prevent them from being wealthy.
Here is the video. 13 minutes well spent.
According to the video, these mindsets are:
-Blaming others for stuff (I for one don't blame anyone for anything, not even myself. I just accept, adapt, and adjust but whatevs)
-Being too happy and comfortable
-Thinking too short term
-Worrying about what people who wouldn't bat an eye if you died tomorrow think about you
Sooooooooo let's connect these mindsets to the average voter.
Do they blame others for stuff? Absolutely. They hope that the stuff or people they vote for can take away the outside forces that they believe are responsible for their problems.
Are they too happy and comfortable? Yeah. That's why they vote. They hope that the stuff or people who they vote for can keep them comfortable.
Do they think too short term? Well no shit they do. They vote so that they can get "free" college and healthcare NOW. They vote so that illegals can be booted out of the country NOW. I'd love to hear from any given voter how they think their decision is going to affect things in a decade. They wouldn't have an answer, or even worse they would just make an answer up. Hah.
And do they worry about what others who are unimportant to them think? FUCK. YES. I will NEVER forget being "pressured" to vote when I was younger. "If you don't vote, not only do you not have a right to complain, but you're spitting on your country!" Was what I was fed in my youth.
I've been LOLing at that since I was 14 and I will continue to do so until I die. I haven't voted ONCE. Never will unless I am threatened with force.
Every day, I vote for one person and one person only to change my life.
And it's the motherfucker who is typing out these words.
I guess one of the reasons I am proud of possessing Anarcho-Capitalist ideals is because I don't think that those who embrace statism have any real sense of self-accountability. I mean I take time off, cheat on my diet, play video games, and have fun just like anyone else, but I'm not gonna sit and blame others for me being tempted into doing that kind of stuff. I made the choice to do it.
I don't think voters or anyone who thinks that external solutions are necessary think this way. At all.
