The period in human history when only men could vote was relatively short.
For most of human history, no one could vote. Neither men, nor women.
Then, all of a sudden, (almost) everyone could vote.

People have always had the right to vote. We vote constantly with our time and energy.
Getting to tick a box every few years to "collectively decide" which group of power hungry sociopaths gets to steal from us is just a psy-op.

Not so sure about that. Like in the middle ages in Europe, for example. People, their time and energy, belonged to king, emperor, whatever. They could possibly decide for themselves on a microscopic level of their lives but that was pretty much it. Or in North Korea.

The thing is, their time and energy never belonged to the king/emperor, it was always their's, they just didn't realise it because they'd been indoctrinated from birth with this slave mentality.
If you think about it, a king is just some dude that figured out how to not be a slave, and to become a sovereign individual through psy-ops.
Not really that different to today.
