The thing is, I think a self-defensive voter needs to make very clear that the voting is only done to try to avoid difficulties later by either "legalizing" liberty, or by rejecting a "legalized" restriction on liberty, but that if the results of the election go against liberty the voter has no intention of going along with the result.
There is NO consent. Liberty is NOT subject to a vote!
I still think it's better to laugh at the whole silly rigged game.

Voting, even in self-defense, is wrong. Putting other people under coercive power is wrong. You can't support the guy who wants to take 30% of their money or the guy who wants to take 70% of their money.
ReplyDeleteI don't consider voting for (or against) a candidate to be self defensive voting, but sometimes voting against a new tax or for a loosening of a previous law or against a new liberty-crushing "law" I could see as self defensive voting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see voting against a referendum. But it would still anger me that my act might give an appearance legitimacy to the State. And give to other people the impression that "voting is the way."
