Our rejection of politics is not a product of acedia, but of a careful and deliberate observation of events; we actively, as opposed to passively, abstain from engaging with the “proper channels” of the political process.
The way to change society is not to willingly allow yourself to be folded into the systems of political authority, but to counterbalance and neutralize the importance of those systems through the way you live your life. There’s nothing apathetic about that.
Whenever you start to get that funny little idea in your head that the majority knows best
Remind yourself that thanks to the German Federal Elections, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi party) was democratically elected.
