Correct, but the difference is that it's legitimate AND parasitic. So we can't just ignore it like they want to.

Doesn't even matter if it's legitimate. If you ignore them, they can and will fuck you up. That matters a lot.

The sovereignty is enforced by fuckton of fighter jets, warships, and nukes! Do you feel lucky, punk?

Some define government just means an entity with an effective monopoly on violence in a region. So if they can and will fuck you up, then they're a legitimate government. Everything else is just pretenses to maintain/justify that monopoly by that definition.
