How about this. The real enemy we're fighting is "Big". Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Real Estate and so on. Capitalism at its worst, that sees profit as the real point of everything, and the survival and flourishing of human beings (or the planet, or any other living thing) as not particularly necessary, rather than the other way around. I think it's poisoned our government as well as our way of thinking about each other.
I do not believe "if you can't beat em, join em." But I'm also not sure Revolution is very likely or even possible at this point. What I believe is that the whole Big structure is so clumsy and impersonal that it might be possible to use it, to game it, quietly. If ten of us band together and own a house, no matter how unattractive it is, we can all park vehicles on the land. The laws are there to be loopholed. If you and I share an insurance policy, it means you have to trust me and vice versa, but it also means we save 30%. Will we always get our own way? Might I wind up paying $5 for roadside assistance I don't want because you do? Cooperation is not always delightful. But cooperation without competition, cooperation with a genuine belief that net benefit to Us together is better than you and I separately, even if we make concessions, might just be the way to ... lol. To Stick It To The Man.
