Well I'm sure that there is a lot of BS behind politics but no I don't think I'm living in an illusion. I'm living my real life and if I just so happen to "snap out of it" and it turns out this was all fake then oh well. No an illusion is not real lol. And they don't perceive it because they're not even conscious of it lol. Democracy may not be perfect but if you look at the real world America became a striving nation economically and it's inhabitants prospered because of practices such as Democracy and and Capitalism. Practices where people where able to chose who governs them and venture out, thus starting their own businesses. Are we perfect? Absolutely not. Do we still have problems in our country? Yes we do; however, if you look at other countries who use systems like dictatorship and communism, they do not strive and their nations experience the most chaos. That oppression leads citizens to revolt and fight in an attempt at gaining freedom. Then you have leaders of these nations doing things like bombing protesters and sending militia out into the street to kill people who simply want a better standard of living. Just compare America over the last forty years to other countries with opposing policies.
I'm sorry to bust your bubble but people forced into an illusion, no matter what that illusion might be, do not have freedom. They are not experiencing the real world per say and again as I've mentioned the circle of life is basically cut off because they are not actually interacting with anyone else and are not pro creating. People where meant biologically and spiritually made to live reproduce and kill over.
