Putting ideology ("voting legitimizes the illegitimate authority") over pragmatism is goofy IMO. Like, whether you view the state as legitimate or not, in the here-and-now it exists and has power, giving up your influence because you don't like it is counterproductive.
Also this post reeks of Sovereign Citizen nonsense, "I do not consent to being ruled" okay well you are, might as well have a say in the rules.
