Even "Vote Or Die" Movement Leader P.Diddy Admits "This Whole [Voting] $hit Is A Scam"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by John Vibes via TheAntiMedia.org,

Some people can really only take so much of the political process before they give up on the system entirely. This is especially true in modern times, where every candidate is pro-war and pro-establishment. Obama was the last hope for many people who thought a politician could change things, but when Obama brought more of the same, some people became awake to the reality that politicians are usually con artists and that the entire political system is a scam.

Even P. Diddy, the rapper formerly known as Puff Daddy, admitted in a recent interview that voting is a scam. This is ironic considering Diddy was the figurehead of the “Vote or Die” movement, which encouraged young people to vote for nearly a decade.

During a Q&A at Revolt’s music conference, Diddy was asked about the upcoming elections — and his answer was surprisingly refreshing.

Diddy told the audience:

“See the things [sic] that’s tricky about politics is there’s so much bullshit with it. We started Vote or Die and… and from the community we’re in, we’re not with hearing too much of the bullshit. So that’s why we get disenfranchised, [we’re] disconnected because nothing that they’re saying actually relates to us… So Vote or Die, and getting out the vote, those things [were] laid out there so people could understand about the process. We started Vote or Die, and the whole process was all full of shit. The whole shit is a scam.”

Diddy said people can vote if they want to, but it probably won’t change anything.

“At the end of the day, I’m not telling you not to vote. But I’m saying be a realist and know that they’re motherfucking kicking some bullshit up there,” he said.

Even if your vote is actually counted (it probably isn’t), it still won’t matter who wins, anyway. They will all carry out the exact same policies with marginally different rhetoric backing them up. It should be obvious by now that this system is not only inherently corrupt. It is failing miserably and in the midst of collapse.

So what do we do? How do we solve these problems? Do we look to authority? Do we put someone else in charge? Of course not! How has that been working out for us? Not very well, right?

Yet when one suggests that everyone needs to give up on voting and take matters into their own hands in their personal lives, people seem to believe that the recommendation compels them to “do nothing.” In reality, the complete opposite is true. Calling for people to abandon voting means advocating doing something to make an impact on the problems that concern them — not simply pushing a button in an election booth, throwing the problem in a politician’s lap, and trusting that something will actually be accomplished.

If anything, that political approach is the lazy way of going about change, while actually working on independent solutions is a truly meaningful action. There is a plethora of ways you can contribute to helping the global situation outside of traditional politics. In fact, you will likely fare much better than politicians at achieving that goal.

Instead of political action, engaging in agorism (building your own non-governmental solutions) is the best way to create real change in the world. Agorism is a strategy of noncompliance that uses counter-economics and underground markets as a way of keeping power in the hands of the people, thus slowly diminishing the power and relevance of the control structure. Growing food, using Bitcoin, teaching children through alternative education, running small businesses without licenses, bartering, and starting community currencies are all examples of agorist activities.

Some agorists are even so bold as to create businesses that will challenge existing state monopolies, like we saw last year when Detroit residents created their own community protection agencies because the police were no longer responding to 911 calls. It is as simple as finding a need in your community for a particular good or service and attempting to provide that value without any sort of interaction with the government or any other third parties. In other words, the idea is to try solving problems yourself — with your community — instead of waiting around for a politician to make the problem worse.

You "signaled" that you were a "bitch" and would take it up the ass by letting your pants low and boxers show...while the dew rag is identical to the "We Can Do It" posters for WWII women in industry.

You guys with shaved heads...same shit.

Stop promoting criminality, man-up, be responsible and help turn it all around.

Yeah its fucked up, but not "beyond" repair. It will take away the argument for more militarized police, if we stop promoting corruption and criminality.

Of course, the cartoon assumes that there is a difference.

You know, If I fuck up at work, the boss will NOT wait four years before he sacks me.  I'm out straight away.  In theory there is a procedure he has to go through, but in my industry it is very easy to bypass that procedure if need be.

From that perspective, you should be "voting" every day.  Now how could we have a "vote" that would be that fast and effective?

You can "not" vote because you are lazy. If voting mattered that would be sad.

I used to vote, made a big deal out of it with my kid, etc., we are such a great nation, all that horse shit.

I don't vote because what they present me as options and solutions insult my intelligence. "Let's see, horse shit or bull shit, which one?" By exercising my so called right to vote, I take time out of my life to think about them and the propaganda they are presenting me. I consider false choice A or B, ignoring that they have framed my choices by paying for them in the halls of congress. Never mind they do not even keep paper ballots if you need a recount. Our votes do not matter. Taking time to vote helps solidify THEM as somehow powerful and real. 

And even when they get in, and are paid for, the promises that come out of their mouths to get voted in are not kept. 

I don't participate, I don't reify them. 

I will have a gun. I will look to myself first for my own protection. I grow a little bit of my own food, and try to research what I am buying. I cook all my own food and mostly know what is in it. I save, expecting social security not to be there. It was a myth that my government was going to take care of me if I supported them. They are corrupt, used, corporate whores who do not give a shit about you or me. We don't count. Corporate monopolists own the voting and legislative apparatus, that is who counts for them.

Sorry for the rant (okay, not really too sorry).

Rather than just not turn up, feel free to go to the voting booth, and write a nice little essay on just why you can't bring yourself to support "them". Most countries have a system whereby spoiled ballots have to be agreed, i.e. was there an intention to vote - tick instead of cross, that sort of thing. If we all spoiled our ballots, as creatively as possibly, it might bring the system down on its own. At the very least, you will have told the relevant people how you feel, which is a bit better than having them assume you couldn't be bothered.

You mean well. THERE IS NO PAPER BALLOT TO WRITE ON WHERE I VOTE. Nuttun' honey, nuttin'!

I raised a stink about this the last time I voted, asked them how they would do a recount if the computers broke down. It was wrong of me. The volunteers looked like deer in the headlights, did not know what to say, I think some did not even understand me. My wrath was misdirected. 

There might be a small space to write in a candidate, but that is going to be smaller than a tweet.

Free speech my ass.

FWIW I turn up and vote on local propositions and tend to vote libertarian (though not always).  I DO NOT, however, EVER vote Dem or Repub at any level.  I even expressed this to a local candidate that was libertarian but running as a republican.  I tersely put "I would happily vote for you, but you are listed as a Republican so I will not."  His answer was a succinct critique of how incredibly corrupt the voting process actually is (and said this publicly mind you):  "I ran as a republican merely for ballot access, I am truthfully a libertarian."

Whoops, forgot to include my rationale for WHY I still vote.

If they're going to rig an election, and they will, I'm not going to help them.  I'm going to make them have to alter my record.  I force them to actively break the "law" instead of opting out which eases their process.

Does it matter?  Almost certainly not, but anything that makes these fuckers' lives even slightly harder is ok in my book.

Love the inclusion of Agorism in the article, btw, that's my real philosophy, libertarianism is just the next step towards agorism.

Yessir, withholding my vote tells them exactly that. At least I will not vote for a warmongering or democracy promoting candidate and hate like hell that I have to pay exorbitant taxes to support the evil system. I refuse to participate in a system where a crack whore with welfare babies are subsidized to the hilt and an illegal motor voter can legally plunder me and have as much voting power as I do.

It's the reverse of what they say, if you vote for one of the scum you have diminished your right to complain and the propagandists state the exact opposite. Think about it. I now look at those little stickers on peoples' shirts (I voted) and just look at them like they are dumbasses. Oh, what a fool I was for years.

I will go vote for any property or freedom grabbing amendments in state and local referenda. I will always try to serve on the jury duty when called and I'm totally up to speed with the tenets and recs of the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA).

Withdrawing consent is the way to get a new and better government then?

Something tells me that the people who create money (everyone who needs their money is nothing more than a slave) and those with the guns (their hired slave muscle) won't allow nonconsenting people to get rid of them.

Rge only real hope is to find out what those who are the slave masters want (it may be different than we think) and then help them get it in a different way.

rooftops? don't know. usually it's a lonely place, isn't it? in politics (that includes rebellions, revolutions, the works) nothing is ever achieved in lonely places or by lonely people

No, just endorse the system all the other ways... Not voting as a silent protest is utterly ineffective, except if makes one feel good, which could also be accomplished with some "not voting participation trophies".

Moreover, unless an American is a hardcore Mennonite (meaning not even trips to the store for Ball canning jars) or an expat not paying US taxes, they are supporting the system.  Even posting on Zerohedge requires endorsing the system (internet connection, iCrap, bank account, et al.)  

One could brag about "all the other things" they are doing to offset those dirty contributions the system...  but they might as well buy some carbon credits from Goldman Sachs and brag about how they aren't actually polluting the real world.

It's a team thing. I notice it more on the right than the left. Maybe it is because I am down south, idk, but the red team seems to have an "us against them" mentality that is truly scary. Because that mindset not only works in politics, but in any situation, say, collapse.  In politics, there is always a "need" associated with overlooking just how bought their guy is. Like, it doesn't matter that their guy is bought, because the thought of the coin landing on tails is too terrible to consider.

When my rights are no longer subject to debate by the majority, then we can talk about voting. Until then, both sides can burn in hell for thinking that their coersion is best for me.

NC. I have relatives (by marriage) down here that are old school South.  Hearing them talk it is such an "us against them" mentality.

Last Christmas got in an argument as to the origins of money with my BIL (who is in finance, some type of planning or insurance I think).  I think this year I will get him TCFJI.

I was cocked but it was fun trying to explain to him where most all of our money supply comes from.  He was cocked so he could not wrap his mind around it.

My fam is from the south as well. Some of those old school Democrats are legacy types who are Dems only because their parents and grandparents always were. Funny thing is that the Dem Party of the 50's, 60's is far to the right of the "Conservatives" of today.

My dad is a staunch red-teamer and before I quit all teams, I used to be too. We really don't talk that much especially politics but I know he's always dying to make his "points". The thing that really bugs me is he's so positive that he's always right that he doesn't listen to anything. Like Marla said, he's "just waiting for his turn to talk".

It is a team thing and depending on which one you're on, every single bad thing on earth can be blamed on either a liberal or conservative. I would like to have a better way of expressing dissent (on top of staying home for elections and pretty much going galt) maybe Tyler could run some alternate election or something crazy FWIW.

Your vote is needed by the vote flippers to manipulate the vote which is why they want everyone (illegals etc) to vote and make it a requirement to vote. Patriotism and all that!

If you don't vote there is nothing there for them to flip if needed,,, Probably doesn't matter as they will just make up voters as needed. 

If you do vote then if necessary they will use it to change the results. Easy for them, feel good for you. Now you can go home and watch the country go to shit for the next four years.

Last,,, if voting actually worked it would be illegal.

And you have the racist stupidity to blame it on those at the very bottom of the power scale. Such a typical response from an ignorant American. Have you ever stopped to think this was by design, or are you too busy hating to actually think for yourself.
