Based on the premise that decentralization means freeing oneself from the interests of the state and corporations, what we are currently seeing would be the struggle of intertwined power interests against the ordinary citizen. This battle is in full swing, but in terms of perception, it is a battle between the powers that be and is causing people to choose one side or the other. Without them realizing that this act alone already seals a kind of powerlessness which, because it revolves around taking a political stance, could be described as successful.
More than I have ever experienced in my lifetime, people hang on the lips of political figures and alternately cheer or demonize them. As for the act of individual self-sufficiency through decentralized means, as far as my own country and people are concerned, I am less optimistic about their ability (my own included) to make notable strides in that direction.
As we have already discussed, there must be a real low point in people's everyday lives that makes a virtue out of this need.
The idea that everything has to collapse first - healthcare, the social security and pension systems and more - in order to trigger a kind of decentralized revolution is frightening, even though it also contains an element of hope. It seems to me that historians are right when they say that the times that describe the demise of what was once familiar and taken for granted in the past also tell of the danger that accompanies such demises. In terms of freedom of expression and freedom of movement of the individual. But unlike in the past, technological progress has made it possible to create digital currency and thus a kind of basic income for people, which is a lure to subordinate themselves to whatever may come, as long as they continue to receive what they need to live. In other words: the use of decentralized production and innovation - through necessity - is not realized. Of course, I hope that this will not be the case. In the long term, as I see your vision of the future, decentralization will be the way of life and I have little desire to argue against it. So I won't.
