Combination of "voter" - from Latin votum "a vow, wish, promise, dedication" noun use of neut. of votus, pp. of vovere "to promise solemnly, pledge, dedicate, vow." + "apathy" - Greek apatheia "freedom from suffering, impassability," from apathes "without feeling," from a- "without" + pathos "emotion, feeling, suffering."
1) A sense of indolence felt by the voting public when presented with political candidates whose platforms are lies, whose personalities are non-existant, and whose real agendas of embezzlement, excess and arrogance are all too clear.
2) The natural reaction to modern political campaigning, characterized by the brain's complete withdrawal from public politics in order to protect itself from the inevitable implosion caused by rampant media stupidity.
3) The first indications of a violent revolution.
4) One of the final symptoms of democratic decay. See Canada.

The media shills on the street ranting about voter apathy don't realize they'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

"Billy says hes an Apathiest and could gives less than a shit about god, so why doesn't he just call himself an Athiest?"

Get the apathiest mug.Apathy is the soul-rotting, civilization-ending, rationalization that, since it is difficult to change entrenched institutions, it is better to passively allow them to segregate, vitiate, or annihilate whilst we contemplate, procrastinate, and exculpate in the ennui that is the luxury of those just beyond the earshot of oppression.
I suppose I should vote for someone in the next election, but, because I feel only apathy, I'll just let rich people decide who should run the country.

Get the apathy mug....the contagious dis-ease or illness that is epidemic throughout society...
Symptoms include: ignorance and deliberate bashing of the vulnerable groups of people... This sociopathic illness does not discriminate on who is chosen for its carriers: it crosses all races, cultures, econo-classes, ethnicities, ages, genders and orientations, spiritual or sexual.
