Anyone else not give a fuck about politics?

319Skew · 2020-06-04T17:19:46+00:00

I like to exercise my right to vote. I tend to look at the overall platforms and do a bit of research on the policies and ideology of the people who are going to represent me and my interests.

I try to avoid blindly accepting party lines and herd mentality as well as adhering to any one party due to a loyalty to it.

On some topics, I'm conservative and others I am liberal. That said I know that self interest, corruption and outside influences can and will impact those in office.

I'd prefer voting and being wrong then not voting and complaining about the outcome.

Protocol_Apollo · 2020-06-04T17:18:00+00:00

You may not care about politics.

But it cares about you.

Doesn’t mean you should become a “political activist” and start looting/rioting for BLM/new 60inch TVs.

Fuck that shit.

But just know, keeping a total blind eye to it and almost pretending it doesn’t exist won’t help either.

thecarryone · 2020-06-04T16:50:48+00:00

That’s exactly what politicians wan’t you to do.

If you don’t choose, someone is going to do that for you.

AegonTheC0nqueror · 2020-06-04T19:52:10+00:00

Came to this country when I was 2 years old. It took me 19 years to become a citizen. I find being able to vote something that so many of my peers take for granted, and I literally vote in every single election because I can.

nikcufboomer · 2020-06-04T21:14:37+00:00

Libertarian. Fiscally more conservative than Republicans. Vote conservative for selfish reasons. Socially very liberal. Think most Democrats are unreasonable and some mentally ill. Don’t follow MSM because all it doesn’t is amp you up and make you hate everyone, no matter what side you’re on. Take in all content objectively and don’t allow emotions to influence views or conversation.

Edit: If you don’t care about this shit you’re very naive. Or you’re looking for attention here. You sound like an idiot. This shit affects your money and what you can do with it. Look at how you type shit here. Sound like a little cry baby fuck.

LLL3peat · 2020-06-04T16:49:32+00:00

people died for the ability to vote. go vote. seriously. the more you move up in the world the more you realize social constructs, money, and living depends on it. it takes you 30 seconds to vote via mail. why waste it? you'll spend more time aimlessly scrolling through reddit/ig/watching ads on tv.

Warren_Bateman · 2020-06-04T17:39:56+00:00

I care about it. I’m not an activist and I don’t go around demanding people agree with me, but policy affects me and I feel justified having an opinion.

That being said, never talk about it. People tie their emotions to single black or white issues and it can get ugly quite quickly. 48 laws of power covers this topic. Feel free to think whatever you’d like, but practice nodding and smiling a lot.

z2a1-9 · 2020-06-05T00:57:59+00:00

You sound young and in the anger phase. If you don't realize most everything involves politics then you have already lost even before you have started. Politics are a big part of life and once you learn, understand, and realize its importance in life you can become an even more successful individual. I realize it's not for everyone but it does involve and affect everyone even trp.

AncientDragons · 2020-06-04T22:55:14+00:00

Politics is one of the biggest ways that the individual influences the larger group that he inhabits, and vice-versa. Not caring about this means you don’t care about one of the most fundamental structures of human relation that influence your life. That seems illogical. Not making politics your religion or your identify or your obsession, sure. Keeping to a life of as much self-reliance as you can, sure. But ignoring politics seems like a bad idea.

baldymcgee919 · 2020-06-04T22:58:07+00:00

Part of being a responsible person is taking an interest in what is going on in both your own house, your own community and society as a whole. You may say you don't care for issues of morality or decency but that's just a lack of responsibility.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato

ThenIJizzedInMyPants · 2020-06-04T18:29:04+00:00

I give a fuck and exercise my right to vote. I find points of agreement with both major parties. I'll admit though, that in the US, our votes don't matter much since we're an oligarchy enforced through policing domestically and military repression abroad. Pretty much all major legislation ends up benefiting the ultra wealthy who have congress bought and paid for.

WarriorCOW47 · 2020-06-04T17:23:27+00:00

I agree for the most part although I’d still vote a certain way to keep my country from collapsing or myself from becoming imprisoned in some leftist or totalitarian hellhole. Definitely shouldn’t blindly align yourself with any one political perspective imo, most of it is bullshit.

I strongly suggest men here watch Andrew Tate’s recent video about racism in America and hear out some of his thoughts on the situation and what men should be doing: https://youtu.be/YD5WMcU9myM

Best thing we can do while the sheep fight it out is boss up even more and reach such a high level that this shit doesn’t even touch us.

notpahimar · 2020-06-04T17:24:07+00:00

I used to. Then I realized that one day humanity will end and none of this constant bickering of whose party is right will ever fucking matter.

gotmilo11 · 2020-06-04T16:57:19+00:00

You took it out of my mouth.. Politics to me is causing us to be divided.. instead of working together.. we're fighting each other.. Politicians should be afraid of us, not the other way around.

I do think we should vote cause these Politicians are our employees. We hire them to make decisions on our behalf. But that's just me.

I really don't think politics should be talked about cause it breaks our frame. I shouldn't be bother what someone says or do, but if it crosses my boundaries.. then it's a problem.

2020-06-04T18:12:41+00:00

I want to. I’d like to vote and fight for causes and get into debates with people. But I’m not smart enough to do so. So in the meantime I’m reading books on how the economy works, is open borders good for or bad, is climate change actually real... etc. basically I’m trying to increase my knowledge first before I actually vote and choose a side. Cause even though I’m not brightest (yet) I’m sure 100% sure neither liberals or conservatives are completely right.

HairlessButtcrack · 2020-06-04T20:54:47+00:00

Marriage is a bad deal for men and it's a tool used by women to trap beta males.

Yeah now a days because cucks voted on "progressive" BS propaganda. You know why? Because reasonable and religious people didn't vote and stopped being a thing.

The post modernist Western World is morally completely corrupt.

TRP should be about marriage but sexual marketplace rules have changed and now marriage is a risky business.

I've also seen an increase of "redpillers" that are still stuck in the anger stage of rp grief and are bloating both subs. So I'd take everything you read here with some salt.

I do vote but I'm not American so probably what you want to know does not apply to me. I do think that Republican democracy is the most retarded thing humans have ever invented because for it to work it requires every voter (or at least reprisentative) to know every single issue affecting the nation. Like Socrates said in Republic of plato: "who do you prefer to command a boat? A well trained captain versed in navigation or the most popular person amongst the crowd? — The captain of course — So why is it when it comes to democracy the opposite happens?"

But whatever, China has already won. And it wasn't certainly with democracy.

LeatherBoundWisdom · 2020-06-04T21:52:21+00:00

One of the big thing RP preaches to help guys is self interest. Before I do anything, I better ask the question "what does this do for me?". Most politics then don't matter and you shouldn't care or invest time in researching them. The probability your vote would ever be the difference in an election is miniscule, there are usually much better investments for your time and energy. The one exception possibly being a local election where your vote genuinely matters.

If there was an efficient way to facilitate real change as an individual, I'd be political, but for the self interested man political ideals are a waste of time. If it's convenient for me to vote, I try to think whose policies would put more money in my pocket and go with them.

I'll also add politics are ass to talk about. No one likes it, everyone just wants to babble their bullshit into the other person's ear. There's no learning, there's no beneficial mental exercise. For the people who really get into it, it's just emotional rambling.

I'm with you OP, if you're into politics you're failing the shit test of life.

TRP_Scepter · 2020-06-04T23:39:57+00:00

Nobody cares about politics until it directly affects them.

Don't be that guy who gets shafted by a shitty policy and then wonders what happened to them.

TelasRayo · 2020-06-05T00:06:58+00:00

You've a right to renounce your citizenship and go live in the far reaches of Antarctica or a deserted island where politics and society still don't exist, just anarchy and you. It's not called not giving a fuck because you clearly do, it's clearly called being antisocial.

wyota · 2020-06-05T01:44:44+00:00

I have a hard time seeing how this sub isn't conservative-leaning, or at least exclusionary towards the Left when it crosses into the same circles as MR's and MGTOW. Also, OP is a fucking dumbass. Or maybe just a stupid teenager.

2020-06-05T02:17:48+00:00

There is more to politics than just Left and Right.

You need to do a lot of reading to really grasp the political/economic theory.

Even those extremely educated on the subject find themselves learning every day.

Most of the world is stuck in a 2 party system meaning no real political discourse can be had. We are slaves to the same rulers regardless of who we vote for.

Most countries that have 2 party systems don't actually live in a democracy. Only in name, You can vote for Democrats of Republicans but the only real difference is the leader. Sure you might get a "Tax incentive" from one party or "Subsidized Healthcare" from another. But those are goals of a false narrative when western culture is being snuffed out.

It is your job as a man with conviction to be informed about both historical and current events otherwise you may as well be a woman living a life of hedonism and generally wasting time

You can live whatever life you want devoid of any politics or the like but can you call yourself an informed individual if you don't at least take an interest?

TRP is political. You can remove the politics out of it and just take the advice but at that point you may as well just be blue pilled with some RP lessons mixed in.

How can you self improve when you are not actively informing yourself about the current events that affect you now or in the future. If your not Tax Law Savvy you stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time you retire. If your not Politically informed you can't be Tax Law Savvy. (Just one example).

Don't think of learning about Politics/economics as having to choose a side, Think of it as a means of mastering the system you are required to participate in so you are not at a disadvantage to the people who are also trying to master the system.

caf_app · 2020-06-05T02:51:45+00:00

To give a fuck about anything mainstream nowadays means you have nothing meaningful in your life.

Tambamwham · 2020-06-04T22:43:55+00:00

Donald Trump could explode in a ball of light on national television. Then aliens could come down and force us to make a cocker spaniel our president. Not only would I not care... I wouldn’t even notice for like 4 days. Being political is among the worst traits a person can have

KilluminatiGotti2 · 2020-06-05T00:32:59+00:00

You’re casting a very wide reductionist net. Where does it say anywhere that to be conservative is to promote marriage? That’s your archetype that you’re projecting onto them.

There is obviously a correlation between conservatives getting married in higher numbers, but that doesn’t mean that in order to be conservative you must support marriage. that would be tantamount to claiming that because most basketball players are extremely tall, being tall is a prerequisite to participate in basketball. Being pro-marriage is not a requirement of conservatism.

This post is an example of backwards reasoning fallacy, and is cringe.

Warren_Bateman · 2020-06-04T17:19:51+00:00

You don’t need t give a shot about politics but ffs vote for trump or you won’t be allowed to touch women anymore

aegeaorgnqergerh · 2020-06-05T04:16:15+00:00

It's a double-edged sword -

- As others have said, caring about the world is important and "doing the right thing" politically is an "alpha" (though only incels use such terms) way to behave. I mean, love him or hate him, there's a reason Trump is president. No matter what your political view, there's a reason strong and successful people (often men, but women too) become world leaders.

- On the other hand, if we're just talking about being interesting and attractive to women (as this sub seems to be mainly concerned with) then unless you're studying PPE at Oxford and are talking to women on your course, then shut the fuck about your political views. For the average guy in his 20s or 30s (or older) who is successful with women, politics is NOT something that anyone finds cool or interesting in an average social setting. It will just turn into an argument.

I'm VERY political and engage in all sorts of things short of actually becoming a politician, but when I'm in a social setting if you'd never met me, you'd think I thought a lump of cheese was running the country.

thanusall · 2020-06-05T04:40:19+00:00

TheDeadlyZebra · 2020-06-05T04:58:54+00:00

I agreed with your post up until you said "I don't vote."

Not-voting is Beta behavior, because you're admitting the futility of your own opinions.

You're relinquishing your power in decision-making as a man. That's not TRP.

bethanyisawhore · 2020-06-05T05:01:35+00:00

New_Age_Radical · 2020-06-05T11:47:38+00:00

I care about it. I'm interested in it (political theory, not so much party politics) but I don't prioritise it over self improvement or the shit that I can actually influence. Oh, and, don't argue about it with people on the internet. Work out what you stand for and make your points if ever needed, you should have a strong and confident idea of how society should be structured and the type of place you want to live in but also appreciate things are complex. But whatever you do don't cry like a little bitch on Facebook because Orange Man Bad. It's pathetic.

PerryWinkleTheThird · 2020-06-05T17:33:37+00:00

I vote for moderate democrats because I believe in middle out economics. I also am fiscally conservative, and at this point I truly believe that moderate democrats are better at limiting spending than conservatives, as ironic as it sounds. They are also the least likely to fuck everything up by starting a war (civil or no civil) or implementing high priced social programs like Medicare for all or debt forgiveness.

I have a feeling most people on a subreddit like this would fall into the neoliberal or libertarian category, with a few traditional conservatives hanging around. I would consider myself anti-populism. Between Biden and Trump I’d vote Democrat. Between Bernie and like a Kasich or Romney id vote Republican. Between Bernie and Trump I’d abstain.

workthrowaway12373 · 2020-06-05T22:32:20+00:00

Was a double major and one of my majors was political science. So I am naturally interested in the theory of political systems but think modern politics is stupid. I lean conservative and grew up in the one red county surrounded by blues and live in a deep blue in California so I keep my political views silent.

I still vote every election cycle but try not to follow the news as it is too depressing and soul sucking.

DatRiggz · 2020-06-10T01:52:49+00:00

I hate politics.

Never voted. Until Trump was in office. He earned my vote and I don’t regret it at all. Voting for him this election too.

Media is a fucking circus. As a man, an a wealthy one, i align with right philosophy. The left is a woman’s philosophy.

Law 38: behave like others, but think for yourself. Sheep hate wolves. They will kill you for thinking differently. That’s not allowed.

I went to college and there is so much fucking brainwashing you have no idea.

I make six figures now as a mid 20’s male. And focus on myself. I’ll be a millionaire and out of the slave class soon. Unless the left fucks us and make it impossible to leave the slave class.

Don’t waste energy on politics. Human nature, power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts. No one is on your side. Politicians only care about short term financial gain. They don’t give a fuck about you. They will take all your rights away for a quick buck.

Arm yourself and focus on self improvement and finances.

Mass democracy is the same thing as playing the lottery. A tax on stupid.

You go play the lottery for the ability to day dream you have some money for a minute. You go vote for the ability to think you have some power for the moment. It's an opiate. You'll notice if you pay attention that whether the blue team or red team in power, the state operates largely the same. Uniparty.

I'm as right wing as they come and I don't vote. Why would I? Nobody runs on ending universal suffrage.
