And it ultimately comes down to the question of, is public interest and public opinion one and the same?

clearly it's not unless you're living in a society of all phds right and that's ultimately you know why democracies can be tyrannical it's because you have uneducated whimsical public opinion and that governs and so my perception of the state of politics in the world today is that we have the corruption that comes from aristocracy and monarchy at the same time as the corruption that comes from

democracies and that ultimately it's the powers that be in the aristocracy that are manipulating the whims of the democracy to create that tyranny that's ultimately keeping them in power.

you have to that's the thing i think education is the hope but um and so but i think but but then it comes down to then the very government it's like this system is upholding this corruption and this system would literally and and that's kind of like i've gone on the lives of like dean and parker and you know i've tried to say like look i don't vote the reason why i don't vote is because i believe if you vote i think you're telling them you believe the lie that your vote matters and i personally don't think that your vote matters you vote locally

No, I do not think your vote matters.

And I think that when you do it, I think that you tell them you believe the lie.

And I think that if the majority of people stopped voting in elections as fucking protest, I think that's what would scare the shit out of the government because they would say they don't believe the lie anymore.

Fuck, we need to do something.

When you have all these people show up to the polls, they're laughing saying, ha, ha, ha, they believe the lie.

They believe that their vote fucking matters.

And it just ultimately doesn't.

Well, no, I think your vote gets counted.

I'm not saying that your vote doesn't get counted.

I think your vote gets counted.

But I'm saying your vote doesn't matter because this is just two sides of the same coin.

They're both playing for the same fucking team.

So I think when you go in there.

That's what I'm saying.

But then it's just like they are also dealing with state politics in a place like California, so they are going to have...

their hands, you know, kind of held.
