politics (not fedi) meta
I am getting very annoyed by the treadmill of selective ignorance in politics. It's probably no secret that I generally consider myself anarchist, and I frequently try to have conversations with people about how that could work.
The problem is, as long as electoral 'democracy' seems to be working okay, people will push back on it because "it's not necessary, things work pretty well". As soon as it starts going bad, people start panicking, and they *still* don't want to consider anarchism, because "we don't have time to figure out all those details, we need solutions fast".
Well yeah, that's why I tried to bring this up years ago! But you didn't think it was necessary!
Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting everybody (or even many people) to agree with me on these things. That's fine! I'm not expecting people to care.
But what gets to me is the *reason* why people do not want to have these conversations, and how the end result is that it is never the 'right time' to talk about different political systems, with other people. It's always either too early or too late.
