Democracy By The Ignorant and Indolent

Tomorrow is primary election day in the Hoosier state. I was planning on sitting this one out completely but I will go to vote for Jon Kenworthy to be the Republican nominee in the Indiana 3rd District for the U.S. House of Representatives. Kenworthy won’t win, my neighbors who are mostly great salt-of-the-earth people will reflexively vote for incumbent Marlin Stutzman because they recognize his name. I am voting for Kenworthy anyway because fuck Marlin Stutzman and his Israel first, mass amnesty bullshit.

Anyway, I heard on the radio that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles had extended hours today and tomorrow for people that didn’t already have photo ID so they can vote and sure enough…

Who the hell doesn’t have a photo ID? More to the point….

Do we really want people that are so dumb and/or lazy that they wait until the day before or even the day of the election to get a proper ID to vote?

Hell no.

The older I get and the more experience I have with my fellow Americans, the more apparent it becomes that democracy in the sense of a democratic republic that extends the franchise universally is a terrible system of government.

The sheer volume of really dumb people in this country is bad enough as it is but when you consider that a person with an IQ of 70 who is mentally incapable of understanding the basic concepts and issues in an election not only gets to vote but is encouraged to vote and the state bends over backwards to make it as easy as possible for them to vote, it shows that the system is designed to fail.

Maybe it is just me but I think you should need to exert at least a small amount of effort to vote and if you aren’t willing to do that, you clearly don’t care enough to be voting in the first place.

(Yes, voting is fake and gay. That isn’t the point of the post.)

    I quit voting in 2022. That was 50 years to the date after first registering. It’s all bullshit.

      I aced algebra. And I haven’t voted in ~25 years. It’s all a theatrical production at a TELL A VISION near you.

    Universal franchise is utterly moronic – even among an all White electorate. There was a post linked at WRS this morning, painting Peter Thiel as the antichrist – Oh noes, he doesn’t believe in electoral democracy!

    Guess what? Neither do I. I am not a Thiel supporter in any way, but not because he doesn’t believe in magic democracy. So we can all make our lists about who ought to be able to vote, but unless and until we have a White nation, run by White men, nothing else matters.

    And yes, most people (including Whites) are too stupid to be allowed to vote. Give them their sportsball and beer and tv and some local autonomy, and in general most are perfectly fine not having a huge say in national policy.

    In a White nation (not including mixed race or ‘fellow whites’) where women are kept out of positions of authority anywhere outside the home, the precise system of government doesn’t matter a whole lot.

      Ja, I saw that article, too. And yes, that Thiel person and his ideology is quite alarming. But one of the things that struck me about the author of the referenced screed was that he was in high dudgeon because some of Thiel’s Palantir is being used to help with deporting illegals, but I say, bully for Thiel on that one.

      Be it noted that the author of the piece is a Canadian, and it appears as if the pervasively anti-white attitudes of our wayward brethren to the north have found a receptive audience in him, and screw that noise, and along with his evident disgust with race realism, he has given the game away; i.e., he is fundamentally a liberal to such a degree that I can’t take him too seriously. If he can’t see the salience of the maintenance of a homogeneous nation (the 14 words…) he is of little use to me, or to our people and to its future preservation and flourishing.

      That being said, WRSA does seem to link to articles that may not be in concord with their core beliefs if they bring to the awareness of its readers “influential” strains of thought and societal trends for their educational value (Kunstler, for example, revealed at last as a hard core zionist), and assist one to learn to be discriminating, rather as Ron Unz does at his review. This is an important service, and not to be despised; it is just as important to know what you don’t agree with, and why as to be coddled, otherwise how can you sniff out glowie propaganda and (generalized) hasbara?
