Everyday I remind the genocidal maniacs that "we are alive". People are amazing at adapting and maintaining the standard of living they desire, especially when there is a family at stake.

As attractive the "off-grid homestead self-sufficient wilderness community utopia" sounds, if the entire world becomes a collective, those finite number of centralized communities will become infiltrated, targeted and made examples of. Self-sufficiency must be DECENTRALIZED within the system, undermining it, thriving even in the midst of it. Not easy, not as idealistic, but much more sustainable.

The Israelites who fled their Egyptian slavery on their own, outside of the exodus, perished in the wilderness. Even with the intention of starting their own communities, the Egyptian army was so powerful they seemed pretty much unstoppable. This is on purpose, because God is worthy of the glory of humiliating and obliterating the most powerful army on earth.

The United States of America currently has the most powerful army on earth, although China and others would love to put that to the test. I hope that patriots in the US military will remember that allegiance to Pharaoh does not make one unstoppable, but allegiance to the Most High (even if it brings oppression) will grant one an imperishable inheritance.
