It’s not easy but if you have a common mindset with the goal to build rather than destroy, society will generally move forward towards Common Sense.

Building community and to be self-reliant in a so called parallel society where the technocrats can not control you is possibly the only answer.
That is next to impossible in urban situations.

Revisit the Amish model. They do not believe in Banks, insurance and only vote as a block if it is life or death for their community. They barter or use cash. They can live off grid and only need a few inputs to survive. Strong community.

They successfully bypassed Covid and life went on.
They do not give up, ever. They find a way to move forward at their pace.
