   The whole topic of "legitimacy" is a massive one. Honestly when you break everything down, nations today only survive through trial by combat. We don't accept that in the west for any form of justice, but it's still the de-facto standard for nation states.

     @freepatriot Democracy uses votes as a proxy for legitimacy. Vote hacking through psyops becomes the norm. Eventually real legitimacy is lost and people outsource violence to more legitimate forms. Yeah other systems also decay but democracy is so rare in history because it decays the fastest. It is quickly replaced by oligarchy pretending to be democracy, or monarchy pretending to populist.
