Follow up question. Do you vote? And if so in what elections?
My guess is that if you vote at all you vote in local elections but not state and national.
I vote in all the elections because while the nation isn’t real, the actions are. And because if I don’t vote my mom will disown me. And I don’t really think my vote does anything at a state or national level anyway.
The best analogy I can give is being an atheist in a religious dictatorship. If you go around saying “none of this is real and you’re all insane” people get mad. Their power, while illegitimate, is very real and a lot of people endorse it.
That’s interesting thanks for replying
