When faced with a political system where the opposition is controlled and ineffective, people can take several actions to foster genuine change and resist manipulation:

1. Build Grassroots Movements
2. Focus on Direct Action
3. Promote Independent Media
4. Hold Leaders Accountable
5. Leverage Social Media for Advocacy
6. Build Coalitions Across Ideologies
7. Educate Yourself and Others
8. Create Parallel Systems

By focusing on decentralized, transparent, and community-driven approaches, people can challenge the dominance of controlled opposition and work toward meaningful systemic change.
