If you can still use your brain to think with, can you use your brain to think at solutions for protecting our freedom?

There are countless ways: Use physical force to resist; use education to make the masses aware of what is happening to them; start your own country and renounce all associations with those you are not willing to be controlled by; tell your oppressors you will not vote for them unless they change how they operate; etc. It is all a numbers game. Convince enough people and you get your way, or have a large enough army to force your way.
