Write enormous screeds about how literally insane it is that the world is being actively destroyed at the behest of and for the benefit of a wealthy, powerful and profoundly mentally ill few.

Play video games and work in the garden.

The first likely accomplishes nothing of any note - even if other people recognize it, part of the insanity is that the psychopaths in power have arranged things so that nobody can stop them.

The second doesn't accomplish much of anything either, but they're at least situations in which my efforts aren't systematically undermined and exploited for the benefit of psychopaths. Instead of being rigged so that whatever I do benefits the ruling class, they're situations in which I can actually make choices solely based on what I think will work best in a given situation and reap the rewards if I choose correctly.
