As I said below, if you feed the beast it wins (pay taxes/consume) and if you're fed by the beast it wins (welfare, public schools) And amish, correct me if I'm wrong, are among those offering the least exposure to the system/beast; they barely consume, they pay taxes at minima and they're self sufficient they even kind of escape the electronic mass surveillance by just not being there, on the networks The key here is "non participation", and their model is viable, at least it seems... And I think it should be emulated because the only winning move is to not participate, starve the beast. And when the regime collapses well you don't give much of fuck you live in parallel already, you barely need the regime for anything, it's more of a parasite than anything else in the end, so good fucking riddance
