You legitimize the system of control that you say you don't like,
Such is your claim. Now substantiate it.
That's what I did...
If a group calling itself the mafia told you that you have to choose one gang or another and they held "elections", would you feel that by participating in their sham you are somehow contributing to positive change, just a little bit? The act of participating is what creates the illusion of legitimacy.
You consider that as substantiating your claim? Good thing you're not a lawyer.
Firstly, it is merely an unsupported assertion. Secondly, an 'illusion' says more about the party whom is looking upon the situation than it says about the party being observed.
All you are substantiating here is that your ability to reason has been overridden by your preconceived biases.
