        My guess is it has something to do with the fact that you linked to what is essentially an anarchist website, hosting a very naive article written in 2010, arguing that all parties are the same in Australia, and urging people not to vote.

        Since then, we’ve had Trump, who amply demonstrates that false equivalency is false… and of course, it’s about politics in Australia, and urges people not to vote.

        I think the eye roll you got for that was awfully polite, given the circumstances.

          Lmfao, I love all of the irrelevant (bar one - I guarantee any anarchist is more educated on politics than you are) reasons you’ve found to dismiss the content without addressing the content itself, which is absolutely relevant and applicable to all modern “democracies”. But hey, if you’re happier keeping your heads up your own asses, be my guests I guess…

            And I love the irony of insulting someone’s intelligence while declaring the one group of people that intentionally disenfranchises itself to be “more educated on politics.”

            Hey, how effective has the last 100 years of anarchism been at dismantling the state? Has the anarchist refusal to participate in voting resulted in a government they like anywhere?
