This year's presidential elections raised the level of media manipulation and
emotional blackmail to a higher level. Where is the absurd Zeman-Schwarzenbergfarce! Governments change, but the myths that appear in the public space remain.---- Politicians of all stripes cough on us. But there is a period when, on thecontrary, they would bring down the blue from the sky for potential voters -before the elections. And it doesn't matter if it's presidential, parliamentaryor municipal elections. Part of the psychological pressure and disgustingmanipulation is, in addition to defaming the opposing candidates, a campaignagainst those who do not vote for various reasons. What are the biggest myths?"Voting is a civic duty."But we do have some kind of citizenship on the hook. We were born free, no onegave us a choice whether we wanted to be citizens of a capitalist state ormembers of an anarchist commune. We do not see ourselves as citizens, we do notrecognize these rules of the game, which are set in such a way that nothing canchange in the result. Our moral duty is different - to show that we can managesociety in a different way. Without presidents and prime ministers."If you don't go vote, Babiš/Pavel will win!"And if I go, Babiš/Pavel will also win. It is almost unbelievable that twoprominent Bolsheviks can create such an illusion of opposition. This year's mediamassage was so strong that the truth-seekers weaned on Havel support themilitarist from NATO and former member of the Communist Party. Meanwhile, theother candidate assures us that he likes dogs. With the other one, we know he's ascumbag. We will find out about the former only when the votes of the voterscarry him to power."If you didn't vote, then shut up."On the contrary. Shut up those who legitimized this whole circus and participatedin it. Those who took part in the elections therefore respect this system - andlogically recognize the winners of the elections as well. So, Democrats, no demosat Letná, wait for the next election! Maybe it will finally work out! At leastsomeone is responsible here. Anarchists do not waste their energy unnecessarilylike this and prefer to build a model here and now where we manage our thingsourselves and better."Boycotting elections is completely naive."What is naivety to us anarchists? For example, the belief that when I go to thepolls for the hundredth time, one day I must choose the right moral leader whowill finally solve all our problems. It didn't work out with the communists, sothey tried it with the ODS. She betrayed, so the socani were elected. Then PublicAffairs, Topka, Babiš. The sociopath Klaus was replaced by the alcoholic Zeman.Although it has never worked in the history of mankind, the voter will tell youagain and again based on election propaganda that this time the newpresident/prime minister/dictator will save us.Listencontent_copyCopy translationshareShare translationhttps://oafed.noblogs.org/post/2023/01/25/ctyri-nejvetsi-myty-prezidentskych-voleb/#more-1108_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
