Once again, I'm late to the party... but I will gladly upvote one of your comments, in lieu of the post itself! (...not that my bag holds much wealth to share, but my heart is in it...)

I absolutely love this piece. You've stated so much, so well, and you've put your finger on the throbbing heart of the problem:

"We need to fight the idea of political legitimacy to truly kill the political system."

Indeed; the problem is almost entirely in the hearts and minds of the (m)asses, of which I of late am/was one.

BTW, though a week old, I've been able to re-steem this using eSteem Surfer, a tool I've found quite useful because it allows access to certain features that the Steemit website/platform obfuscates.

But back to your topic:

Personally, I began withdrawing support from the system decades ago. Over that time span, I've had the scales fall from my eyes to a much greater extent, and I now feel that I see things far more clearly than ever before. I love your post because you see the heart; but I still struggle--as apparently do you--with the problem of conveying that clarity to Joe Sixpack and Jane Homemaker.

Without a doubt, a large part of the problem is "The Church" (and here I'm referring to Christianity in the most generic sense). I have concluded that the state is in all truth the beast John speaks of in the Book of Revelation, and that the church at large has been coopted as its false prophet.

One of my missions is to bring this awareness to focus in the minds of the (otherwise very sincere and well-meaning) clergy and congregants with whom I am engaged in the local instances of Christian assemblies I've been and am a part of.

The push-back is at times brutal! But I continue to learn more and more, a detail at a time, how to counter the corrupt renderings of Romans 13 and I Peter 2...

And so, know that "I hear you, Brother!" and that I take heart just knowing that I'm not the only one who sees these things clearly. Thank you for carrying on here. :D <3
