Notice any uptick in "A future solar flare could wipe out the entire internet" stories lately? I've seen them from multiple publications and even some of those informative youtube channels have put out videos on the subject. Is this setting the cover for a global coordinated take down of the internet? Will it coincide with the implementation of a global government? What better way to stop the spread of info than to get rid of internet communications...

You are completely wrong. You need DNS just to quickly find IP address of, say, google or facebook. You don't need DNS for tox, torrents, zeronet and nearly everything else. WWW is only part of internet. And not the best one. And even for WWW you could use local DNS cache, a mirror of root DNS servers, or even a necessary records in your /etc/hosts
Could not understand where you find a problem. In any case you connect to the IP address, not to the name. Domain name is sent in headers of HTTP request over the established connection. You could form request by yourself, or just add a line with IP and domain name of interest to /etc/hosts. That's all.
They are perfectly accessible by IP address, just because it is the only way to access them.
