I would try to think of ways to support any potential resistance against the oppressors, anything i could get away with without drawing attention or getting into trouble if someone notices. Maybe something that might support someone who is willing to take bigger risks.

I live in quite decent country myself and even here i feel like i want to do something like that, seeing how world is going to shit and it will eventually reach here too when consequences start properly hitting. I dont want to even think about what i would want to do if i lived in actually repressive country like america. Nowdays i'm balancing between wanting to do good and cheering for the apocalypse. Mostly because i feel i cant do anything so not acting on evil thoughts feels like improvement.
