> you can’t rebel against a structure you rely on for your daily survival. You would first have to completely separate from it.
This is the exact wall I hit. We give up our freewill by taking part in the system we all hate. Not taking part is not an option unless everyone turns from the current system.
Yeah it's non-participation, it's the ultimate strategy and it's both a valid strategy and an utopia, for the very reason you mentioned... (maybe one day everybody will be non-participating... Maybe), but above all it's easier said than done...
That being said, I think in itself it's a goal worth pursuing, on both a collective and individual basis, it's a challenge, a good compass in life I think. Of course you'll always get a chunk of society who wants to look like celebrities in the magazines and the screens... Above all else, so they're going in the opposite direction, and some of them will succeed in that venture and/or die trying. Now I don't think they'll be happy with that quite frankly, it's all fake and gay, literally
