Unless your prep includes "fight against it politically, tooth and nail," you're only delaying the inevitable.

There is no such thing as a technological solution to what is fundamentally a political problem. Ultimately, the fascists pushing this shit have to be destroyed or they will destroy us.

Lol no.

The politics can't control the tech. We just route around their laws. The internet is global and outside their justification

You need to learn the difference between a workaround and a solution.

Also, don't try to pretend that a normal person is going to live as an outlaw just so they can avoid enshittification. Most people will comply, and society as a whole -- which includes you, even if you don't comply yourself! -- will suffer for it.
