I was telling a guy from Manchester that I wanted to vote for exiting the EU, and he laughed and so did everyone else. I am not bothered by the laugh, but the thought that voting is pointless and that they won't vote and laugh at my efforts to exit the EU. As if they wanted to passify me.

I was in the chat room, and was shocked that the majority of people 'lol'ed me when I put value on my vote. I thought at the start that they wanted to sabotage me putting into practice the things I learned from Stefan's videos as it resembled the line of thinking of those that dismiss Stefan's videos (passiveness). I labelled them as liberals, but found that those of majority in the chat room were supportive. I am totally confused as I expected to find people looking at each and every way to make a change however large or small, and not find those efforts to be meaningless. I can understand seeing the minor value it contains but not to see it as something to abstain from. Can someone clarify to me the stance commonly seen from people in this community in regards to voting?

Hello, I have watched Stefan's videos for a few months. I have not seen them all, I have watched a few of them more than once, and I donate every time I believe that I could not live without having seen other people agree with me on the issues discussed. I also like the comments on the youTube pages. I joined the members group recently and started to chat this morning. I was very happy to talk with a guy from Australia sharing similar views on immigration, the nature of academia diluting the national spirit etc. Then another member comes into counter balance these nationalistic preservation views, and a discussion comes up, and the views I saw as being either Liberal or passive. Eg Liberal in that he saw the frame of humanity as a global ethno mixing group, and passive in that he wanted to convince me that any effort in voting is in vain, and makes no difference. Later on, other members assisted in degrading the value of voting and supporting the activity of abstaining from voting. They presented videos to stress that Stefan does not vote or even support it. I thought in spirit, that he would support voting and activism. My question is this: >>> Does the community here, discourage voting? (yes/no) Does the community here have a nihilistic approach to not taking actions and placing value on actions to assist change? <<< At first I accused this member of being a professional agitator/troll because I considered it unbelievable that someone who is concerned with change from many issues Stefan discusses, would be anti-voting and anti-activism. The large number in the chat room convinced me that this was their line. Is this so?
