story itt: the reason i dont care about politics - thesupremegentleman - 11-09-2025

i was with my cousin and his family and someone asked me where i stand politically n i said i dont know and i never voted cause i dont care. and people were like "oh but youve gotta vote!" and i asked why, someone said "you should at least put a blank ballot so the state knows u dont like any of the options"  ??? like wtf thats not my responsibility to let the state know. So then i said "ok well whats the absolute worst that could happen" and nobody could answer it. then my cousin admitted he voted for something random cause he doesnt really care either, but admitted he heard some phrase somewhere, probably some tiktok slop about "he who is not involved in politics is an idiot... because-" and then he didnt know the rest of the quote.

tldr everyone expects you to vote n shit and thinks its absurd to not vote, even when u dont care, but they cant explain why. even their own vote is only influenced by their social circle and they cant explain what the political parties they voted for stand for.

i get the point of the quote. meaning its foolish to forfeit the chance to influence decisions which impact my life, but seriously. it doesn't. that was why i asked "whats the worst that could happen" cause listen now. If i were to imagine a hypothetical scenario where my vote fucked everything up in the worst way possible which affected my life it would probably be a slight change to gas prices, immigration laws or maybe how heavily police arm up. all of which i couldn't give less of a fuck about and wont impact me ever. and those were the most major things i could think of. I dont give a fuck about eldely care. i honestly dont care much about taxes cause im not filthy rich to the point where iwill feel the impact from even the most drastic changes. i dont care about any of this shit it just bores me to death so im curious to why some of u care so much about poliical figures and whatnot. why arent you guys bored to death from watching old men on news every day talk about shit that wont impact you ever

Probably the proverb continued: "If you don't get involved in politics, politics will get involved with you."

Which sounds like another threat

It's like a point of contention. Someone says: "Putin should be allowed to invade Europe, it's wonderful to live in gulags."

Then should I reply: "You know, politics was never my cup of tea. Who knows, you're prolly right."

I tend to reply: "Every Russian man, woman and child will die in this war."
