- decentralization
- arming yourself and your loved ones
- taking care of your privacy
- ostracism towards the enemy and his supporters - at the same time informing them of the reason for this ostracism

Why arming yourself?
Democide is a real threat, and even absent that threat, the police have no obligation to protect anyone from any crime, so you need to take that responsibility upon yourself. That is where it belongs, anyway.
But arent you attracting violence by arming yourself and live under constant fear? I dont think you will attract something good with that.
Arming oneself doesn't attract violence, and is no more "living in fear" than is keeping a fire extinguisher in the house or a spare tire in the car. There is a non-zero threat that one may need to defend oneself from man or beast.
I'm not sure. I think it can be both. I see a lot of people attracting violence because they hold firearms and they want to "protect" themselves. Law of attraction.
Define this alleged "law of attraction." Also, beware the correlation fallacy cum hoc ergo propter hoc, or, "With this, therefore because of this."
People who perceive a need to be armed for self-defense may need to actually defend themselves because there is a real preexisting need or higher probability of encountering threats, not because they're looking for trouble, or because some psychic voodoo magnetism pulls trouble to them.
Of course, cops are another story altogether, but we're talking about sane people here, not government goons who seek to inflict violence as a necessary part of their jobs.
I think this is true in some areas. But I guess for most parts of the world not. At least currently. The biggest problem is not people but AI and different kinds of warfare. How do you defend yourself against that?
Law of Attraction is the belief that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, people can bring positive or negative experiences into their life. The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from "pure energy", and that through the process of "like energy attracting like energy" a person can improve their own health, wealth, and personal relationships.
For me, this does make a lot of sense and it's not so "psychic" as you say it is. I experienced it in my own life so many times.
This doesn't mean you have to be ignorant. Sitting in a warzone and just thinking positive doesn't help you in that kind of situation.
