I agree; let me clarify. When you opt out of voting, you haven’t isolated yourself from the system. You’re not necessarily choosing violence. You’re merely choosing to not participate in the ritual of voting. But if opting out of voting is part of a broader choice of opting out of the system (not paying taxes, not obeying law enforcement, ignoring regulations, etc) then you are acting in a manner that the system is designed to direct violence against. In other words, you can choose to disengage from the system but that doesn’t mean it will let you do so peacefully. You must have the capability to defend your choices by making any act of violence against you as expensive as possible to your attacker.
