Despite the present-day empire of the شيطان بزرگ displaying its rotting, gangrenous flesh out in the open for everyone to see, the plebeians pledge allegiance to an illegitimate government that funds corruption, debases the currency, fails to invest in infrastructure, weaponizes justice, purposefully foments division among the people, controls the media, suppresses dissent, enables rent-seeking and monopolies, and is wholly complacent in its rotten state. The only thing different about this war is the loyalty of the poor to their false God, the corpo-state.
What government does not understand is that coercion is not consent, they can only manufacture your consent with the implied threat of violence. The entire livelihood of the political class and government employees depends on them not understanding this fact. If the church demanded half of your income, you could say no. When the government does it, you either pay or go to prison. If a sizable enough fraction of people resisted, then things could change. An optimist would say that we have the power to change the world for the better, but a realist knows that won't happen because most people prefer comfortable cages of their own making.
If one is surrounded by people who are all working against each other, one can simply leave that group. When it's an entire country trying to exploit each other to get ahead and threatening to hunt you to the ends of the Earth if you try to leave, one must submit, or take a stand and fight and die trying. One must annihilate one's own preferences and beliefs to fit into the modern technocratic society. There is less diversity of thought, and simultaneously social atomization of people into nothing but individuals. John Donne once wrote that "no man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main", which may as well be an alien concept today, in which we elevate the self above all, a few billion rational actors with competing interests. Americans in particular are allergic to collective action, that's something communists do.
No political solution

Nobody alive in the شيطان بزرگ knows what freedom was like, and there's likely no one alive who can bring freedom back. The great men if there are any, are getting one-shotted by dopamine traps and endlessly distracted. Genghis Khan would be playing War Thunder, military simulation games, or those notoriously autistic map games. If the founding fathers came back, they would want to dismantle the abomination we call "government" and be tried for treason and executed, and they would be labelled as "terrorists".
Total surveillance will prevent any sort of coordinated, collective action from being taken against the state. One can gather their friends and LARP as soldiers, coordinate as a unit, learn the enemy's tactics to use against them. In theory the people outnumber the government, but in practice, the deep state isn't just no-name bureaucrats, it encompasses the vast majority of people. Everyone and their electronic devices are sensors for corporations such as Booz Allen or Palantir which function as a proxy for the state. The people stand no chance when their entire livelihood depends on the system.
One of the most regrettable decisions I made while I was in university, was voting. What I did not know at the time, is that any vote is a vote for the system. I would now argue that it is everyone's civic duty not to vote for a broken system. Do your part by not voting, and encourage others not to. Even better to lay down and rot, one doesn't owe anything to this sick society. We're so fucked.
