'Apathy', eh?
when used in the context of electoral politics, the word 'apathy' becomes just another code word for 'let's blame the victims'. what it really means is people are voting - only with their feet rather than a ballot. under the circumstances it is as clear a signal as can possibly be given that we need a radically different way of doing politics and conducting our affairs as communities and society as a whole. and those who use emotional blackmail or other forms of psychological violence against those making this choice are part of the problem, not the solution.
