Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you're an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it's not political to you is it?

Politics:violence

Politics:economics

Economics:violence

Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn't violence. You'll experience some carnal violence in return, I'm sure.

Politics = violence; it's the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I'd say at least half of it is theatre alone. It's even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?
