When the entity that imposes power over you is powerful, consider cooperation
to see if there are chinks you can exploit. You then join the establishment
in a sense, and are either able to fight it from within, or use your new
found power on others. Short of these two there are very few alternatives to
choose from - other than ranting or railing.
I wonder if you read the links I posted earlier in this discussion.
Your postings make it appear you haven't. For your convenience, here
they are. The last one is especially germane to the quoted part
above, but it improves after having assimilated the previous ones:

http://www.davidbrin.com/tschp1.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
This is a rather old discussion (and one I've had many times before.)
However, it is still an impotrant one to have, not least because one
apparently has to make the same points over and over again. C'est la vie.
