A PRRI survey out Wednesday shows that nearly a quarter of Americans support political violence heading into the 2024 presidential election, as an overwhelming majority believe democracy is at risk.

Improving your community, sure. But I don’t believe in nation-states to begin with so why would I feel allegiance to one?
How does that affect your day to day life? For example, do you file taxes?
The nations might not be real but the jails sure are.
That’s pragmatic. I can respect that.
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
