The ruling groups really killed a whole lot of people's perspective intellectually by fooling people into thinking that conspiracies are something rare. Most people aren't ethically capable of defending a decent society anymore.

The only answer left is revolution. Always has been.

Bullshit.

Revolution™ is a boring non-answer. You spin around and end up back in the same place.

We need to evolve outside of their boxes. To effectively resist tyranny we need alternative media, alternative communications, alternative economics, alternative food growing and distribution networks, alternative energy, alternative industry, alternative markets, and alternative fucking everything.

Non-violent voluntaryist cooperatives - even after they inevitably make them illegal.

You could get away to the wild and start society again, but that would mean sacrificing your country.

I can never do that, so that's my answer. Besides, I believe that revolutions can also bring a good change.

How about something in between:

Let's Co-opefy The Economy to Decenter Corporatocracy

I didn't say anything about starting over. It's possible to grow better new systems sometimes based on but independent of the old and in the process become more decentralized, more secure, and more resilient. Evolve, let the old rot, and the new grow.
