Why bother to vote when you can easily catch the "crown" of the virus???

Unquotable quotes: The How of Democratic Kill - IXL, Part Two

No, tell me not my vote now does not count
(Shakespearean Sonnet)

No, tell me not my vote now does not count
For with my vote you do what pleases you most
You stoke the breath of dragons in Levant
And melt the caps of ice encased in frost

Tell me not my vote will make enemies flee
And set right wrongs long festering in hearts
My vote's my word you take and hold un-free
In Senate and House with bickering darts

You cursed and you conned your rival's public
You lorded your worth with your campaign wrath
Who would've wondered who I'd have to pick
And make me rue my days gone behemoth

Ask not for my voice to be raised in hope
Lest you lay at my feet world in syncope

The difference between a Democratic State and a Dictatorship is that there is - in the ultimate analysis - NONE! when it comes to dealing with its/their so-called "opponents" whom they consider "persona non grata" within or beyond the State (likewise between States), with the difference that Democrats - through long experience as colonisers of "barbaric" heathen peoples - have acquired the art of best concealing their means: toolkits and tried and tested highly refined sophisticated methods of persecution. Dictators, on the other hand, don't much care what the world thinks of their art of enslavement which simplifies things for them.

Within the Dictatorship (as with Royal Houses), "the family and favourites" assume and share power to the exclusion of even the army or the political party which may have at some pivotal stage permitted the rise and empowerment of the Dictator and which will have "legitimised" his sway over the masses by permitting him to abandon the electoral processes and by dismantling the bi-cameral institutions in order to make room for direct rule by decree.

In the democratic state, the leaders like to be seen to be courting the people with populist chants during election campaigns which somehow have the habit of turning into hollow promises during the period they stay in office, as if to say, "If only the mandate had been for life!"

Under a dictatorship, the leaders subject the people to the constant fear of being held in a perennial court where the Dictator displays the art of taking the law into his own hands, whereas in the democratic state political-party leaders succeed in subverting the due process of law whenever it serves their interests.

By contrast, in a Democratic State, even if all the semblance for the proper working of the rule of law appear to be in place, real power would seem to reside in monolithic political party heads, trade union leaders, industrial magnates, conglomerate bank CEOs, media over-lords, the secret service, the police and in some cases the very judicial apparatus, itself, and the chiefs of armed forces and veterans of resistance movements and other pressure groups, lobbies and their likes, but the truth is certain ethnic and/or religious entities and the not-so Free-Masons share the power to influence and shape the future of communities and townships not only within but also over the borders of nation states.

Now the real or imagined "personae non grata" in a democratic environment is often made out to be an "anti-democratic" individual (when in actual fact the free-masonic and religio-ethnic groups brand the unwanted un-submissive individual as a bigoted racist or anti-semite). Democrats are only as racist as their morals are free.

If you watch carefully how politics evolve(s) mostly on the world stage, the driving motivating force is racial or religious/atheist in origin, no matter how much or how fervently politicians and religious leaders talk of love of unity and peace in the name of humanity at large. At an insignificant level, some like the Free-Masons may give the impression of wanting to transcend racial, religious, sexual or ideological divides, but this even in countries with five major "obediences" reeks of hypocrisy: in one, you have to be a Jew; in another, a woman; in yet another, be mixed man and woman; in the fourth, a Catholic or Christian, and in the last, an Atheist.

Just as there are dictatorships and democratic states, there are "demi-dictatorships" all over the colonised world striving hard to imitate their mentors.
