Voting makes it easier for the State to be violent because it looks popular
Normally violence is wrong but because we vote, and the Government have a majority, it seems like the violence is acceptable to people. Voting makes the (a) Government seem normal. Governments are not normal.
When we vote for politicians we are giving them our approval to continue their actions. To vote is to collaborate, certainly it is no less than a negotiation with them. Voting is to recognise and give respect to those who seek to be aggressive and violent to other people, as away of life. Instead, it would be better to isolate and exclude such individuals so that they will perhaps behave better. It is a form of disobedience to be inactive in this way, by not voting. Voting allows politicians to feel included and accepted in civilised Society, it normalises the violence and makes it (seemingly) more typical. Having a Government is unnatural and unhealthy. The Government want us to vote so (for the reason that) it seems like they are normal. Not voting will make them look even more (obviously) violent and awful since the legitimacy will be lessened. Voting is evil not because it legitimises the harmful actions of the State (it doesn't) but because it makes it easier to get away with the crime, due to the concealment.
