Don’t get me wrong, I say they are irrelevant regarding my quality of life in a particular jurisdiction. They of course are relevant in the impact they create in their jurisdiction over a long period of time. But whether we like it or not, they will do whatever their power allows them to do. Until that power is capped (bitcoin may do this), your vote is just an illusion for you to think you’re involved in the decision making. This is why I have learned that one cannot get attached to a specific location, as in time, that attachment will be used against me by those in power. If you put yours and your family’s wellbeing as your priority, then you simply can ignore what politicians do until it bothers you, in which case you simply move and leave the problem behind. There is always a place coming up as one is going down. It is in this way I see them as irrelevant. Unfortunately humans cannot have nice things for long, and when a society figures out a great status quo, overtime, that society will take it down. There is much precedent about the cycles of civilizations. Once, the best place to be at was Athens, and Rome, and London... And it will keep changing.
