Build community locally, preferably small town or rural, but even within large urban areas the same theory applies.

Create small networks of people who understand what is going on and find ways to live outside of the system to the degree possible, and to protect each other if things go further south. Those small networks can loosely ally with other such small networks for things like trade and security.

Lone wolf thing doesn't really work for most scenarios. And trying to beat those that control the system at the game they own and make the rules for doesn't really work either. Play a different game, and be prepared to survive when it escalates and/or collapses. Whatever that means where you're at (black markets, independent rural economies, whatever).

None of this suggests not continuing to participate in local/state politics if that's your game. And none of it suggests stopping waking others up either (and especially laughing openly at how ridiculous this shit has become and humiliating those that still buy into it).
