Use the existing system to build parrellel systems that are not under corporate control and are robust enough to survive the corporate systems either collapsing or becoming too expensive or unreliable to use.
I don’t know what prepper stuff you’re on about, I’m talking about simple bullshit like owning a home and working.
If you want to be safe from the elements and eat food, you need to partake in the BS corpo society we have. You can’t just go out in the wilderness, build a shelter and live off the land. You’re forever owned by and beholden to society, good luck finding a way out of that.
I agree with what you are saying, running off and starting a farm or ranch in the wilderness is not a realistic option for most, and it certainly does not work en masse.
What I am saying is trying to make the area you do live in less reliant on large global corps starting from the ground up: support more locally grown foods, be kind to your neighbors and do mutual aide, repair and reuse what you can instead of buying new, use public transit whenever possible, etc.
Now, you are in Sweden so probably this is not very interesting or novel.
But I am in America, where I have found that actually getting anyone I have ever met to do the basic things I just outlined is nearly impossible.
And I could go on more about how from a technical computer type perspective we should all be using libre code software so as to stop supporting giant evil tech companies. Again though, I have never been able to convince any American I have ever met to do this. Its too inconvenient.
You can’t opt out so do not try.
