It's an expression of one's willingness to be governed when one should insist on being ungovernable instead.

It also lends legitimacy to a form of hierarchical oppression. The way that people have social conviction that voting is a civic duty demonstrates to me how insidious democracy really is. As far as I can tell its adherents are the most brainwashed people on earth.

How does one "insist on being ungovernable"?

By not acknowledging others right to govern you and to resist when they try.

Won't work until enough people wake up.

Let me ask you something: In your mind is democracy as free as we can get? Could there be a day in the future when all government will be antiquated and abandoned altogether?

Don't recognize laws as a governing force for your conduct and treat all people, including cops, with love and respect. Start by being a person who doesn't need to be governed.

That sounds a lot like not doing anything.

I'm curious: how would a society function without laws and without government? Wouldn't it be something along the lines of The Purge, but all the time instead of just one day?
