Thread; WHY BOYCOTT?
We are living under occupational machinery that is militarily in nature. Pure might. All the so called democratic processes that take place here besides helping in to put foward the legal face of otherwise illegal subjugation, are also aimed to strengthen
the settler colonial projects at the very grassroot level. Elections thereby seek validation from local subjects and endowing (read luring) the nominated ones with powers to corrupt them. Colonizers don't even want mass scale votes to be casted to get these stooges selected.
Even a paltry number could do the job, and in most cases even without contest. Is boycott a vague option then? No. A big no. As I said it is more of militarily occupation, they'll lock their horns on the noose of gun. Whether elections will be held or not, occupation doesn't care
Elections just offers them the safest way to deal with minimum mess and maximum outcome/impact. Evidently occupier will either be hardcore and unleash brutalities or employs soft cunning tactics to set its colonial grip firmly. You have to resist either way. So the question is
not how and what occupier acts and offers but rather the approach and extent of resistance you're offering to oppose any of its heinous moves. Boycotting is one of the resistance moves. Don't care whether it'll apparently benefit or not. I believe it'll.
