Well, I went underground and hid from the government on principle and they listed me as a missing person which made my bank lock my government ID so I couldn't access my funds which forced me to come out of hiding and identify myself and my whereabouts, which taught me that next time I will have to find alternative ways to keep my money that don't rely on government ID, like crypto, which obviously brings its own set of problems, and highlights the big issue with a cashless society.
I don't have a clear solution yet but it was a very good learning experience that exposed some fundamental issues with fighting capitalism on a grass roots level.
I am now more inclined to become a poisoned cog in the machine as a result.
