These concepts are really hard to deal with.

First, because we are using the wrong words. You can't get there from here if you do not have a proper map.

Second, not all things are equal. Is the respect of a rich person worth more or less than the respect of an honest person? (and you have made a lot of equivalences that are not quite right.)

Third, it is the times we live in. In days of yore, we had to sell record albums. Today we sell mp3 downloads. But the most profitable has been giving it away, with a donation button nearby. But, each of these steps requires a lot of infrastructure changes. The next step is coming, but not here yet

Forth, you want something that doesn't exist for most people.

The best advice i can give during this time is to become crypto rich, and be monetarily self sufficient. And then, do what you want, and help who you can.

That helping a city from behind the scenes rarely works. In a spiritual sense, everyone in the town is part of the change. In our current time, money speaks loudest, and only those with the money can make much change. In front of, or behind the scenes.
