There are quieter acts of rebellion too. Trying to build more self reliant communities would help to decrease the reliance on government institutions which is a big thing that keeps people passive. Also, in Asheville, NC they have a pretty built up local food chain, I remember when I visited there all the restaurants were big on buying local. There was some chain of discount food kinda stores that offered a lot of local produce to. That sort of assesses the problem that typically local food is inaccessible to the poor. I feel the post isn't terribly thought out but I'm just trying to say I think trying to create a comfortable living outside the intertwined system of business and government would give people more freedom to rebel. People my age could also vote too, I know I didn't this year.
