if you want to live an unambiguously moral life you probably have to completely separate yourself from caring about politics. I am pretty sure that passively benefiting from invisible privilege isn't actually immoral because you are not responsible for solving society's problems only your individual behavior.

@7666 another argument is that should be delegated to a king or something and regular people should not be responsible for politics. I believe that if you are living under a law you should have a voice in how it operates but when I think about strict moral culpability, if you are part of a democratic system you are basically just damned. in some reckoning it makes sense to take all those really hard moral decisions and delegate them to one or a few people and normal people are responsible for just their interpersonal relationships

@sun one could argue that ignoring your duty as a participating member of society, especially as someone with a functioning brain, is immoral itself

@coolboymew @7666 before I read the article my tentative statement is yes if you vote for a candidate you are morally responsible for what the country does. to some extent if you are just a citizen in a democratic country and it does immoral things but you didn't vote for the guy you are still responsible.
