You voted
A critique of our authority that we find laughable is - we never voted for you. Why that would even matter when most most of you consider your voting systems compromised? What you buy and believe are the only legitimate election mechanisms. You voted for us by yearning for our obviously worthless schlock, by believing our blatant lies, by wanting them to be true. We offered you a movie about heros and monsters and you decided it was entertainment, that we could not be the monsters and the heros were someone other than you yourselves. You have been complicit in your own slavery from the time you could sit up, begging for it, choosing obedience over rationale self interest. etc.
