Don't you think it's too late?
I don't know what country you live in (and I'm not asking), but look around you. People don't despise the state, they are happy that the state has taken their life energy (50%+) and made them *checking notes* - the state in a smartphone (apps like "Diya", "mObywatel", etc), and people are happy to use it, and even people from different countries tell each other whose state in a smartphone is better.
Add to that TikTok/YouTube/Instagram and their algorithms, which control the behavior of the majority (what to buy, what style of clothing to choose, what to think about which celebrities, etc.).
And all this is happening amid growing tyranny on the part of the state (any state, I don't distinguish between them, they are all psychopaths by default), inflation, deterioration in the quality of air, water, food, etc.

I know :) I was shocked to find out that the most downloaded app among the chinese diaspora anywhere is We(f*cking)Chat: multiple studies of chinese respondents (mostly U.S. citizens / permanent residents who've never even been in china) show that 95% use it daily(!!!), with 82% insisting no viable alternative exists. So you flee the communist regime for the "free world," only to stay leashed by choice?
Most ppl want a one-size-fits-all fix for humanity... I gave up on the majority of it, I'm not even counting most as my species (I'm "an alien on Earth, where coercion is normalized"). They get exactly what they deserve. I started using social media (though I don't enjoy it, tbh... even some say I'm okay-ish at it) just to track down my kind, scattered across the globe. I've met some IRL while living between places, mostly due to circumstances, only very recently by choice (never rooted in any one for more than 6 months) :) The rest of humanity just doesn't concern me.
TL;DR: I'm not a racist (I'm much worse ;) ) -- I'm a speciesist, and I'm here to find my kind and build something together :)
