This is one of those "torn between 2 evils" situations...

Google == Evil

Government == Evil

there needs to be a 3rd option

Create an eco-village (buy land and everyone puts their own tiny houses on it), go mostly off-grid, use alternative search engines, create mutual aid w/ others to provide healthcare costs for the least of the members, and create some recurring streams of income -- glamping maybe? or real estate rent outside the intentional community...expand this to a worker co-op or just something where you have a lot of people who can synergistically combine forces and create mutual aid networks, alternative to current companies that are themselves worker owned and part of the syndicate...etc...

So step 1 would be start a co-op or co-living space. Step 2 - join w/ other co-ops/co-living spaces to create a wider network. Step 3 - create powerful income producing shared resources among the groups. Step 4 - ignore the govt cause they now provide less and less benefit and thus have less control on your life.

Step 5 - the co-op members dont always agree. Create a government council and police to settle disputes.
