Diary of an up and coming sociopath

Continuing the election-themed updates, here’s a link to Not Apathetic, a community blog for people who don’t intend to vote in the next general election, and a place for them to give their reasons why. Especially telling is the way someone titles their entry “Sick and tired of being patronised.” because that’s exactly how I feel any time anyone suggests that people who aren’t voting simply don’t care about politics. Bullshit. If it’s anything like my position, it’s just that people can’t bring themselves to vote for any of the major parties, and know that even if they did they’d just get ignored for the next few years anyone. I’m not interested in propping up a political system that I don’t have any faith in by participating in it. I think I’ll have to make a post over there, actually.
