Do you fear living amongst nature like every other species on this planet...
Had to split this to answer. Living with nature I can do within reason I am capable of full self sufficiency. I practice this actively for most of my life. But you can't mix the world of self sufficiency and the societies we live in today. Even the odd isolated Indians biggest threat is "progress" of the world around them. The old "No man is an island" gets used out of context and isn't true, but like many "sayings" is used as a false absolute to keep people more dependency minded.

...so much as to give your life to a system of government which consistently gets saturated with greed and special interests?
Nope, but we didn't give our lives, we are born into this. We didn't give it, it was already taken. The price of the individual to leave the pack is death... only a very large group will leave without annihilation. Even too much talk of taking it back is usually criminal and you will be met with a force greater than the group. Dying for what you believe in I suppose is a true pack behavior, but at an individual level is not a wise plan. Dying TRYING to make the world a better place is understandable, but is not "a solution" usually.

Those interests not being in the peoples favour. Ask any psychopath, power is better than sex.
This is something most do not understand. Maybe you have some grasp of the importance of this. Like a person who is retarded, psychotics are unable to understand what they are for two reasons... 1. They can not experience what it is like NOT to be psychotic, so it is always dramatically abstract to them. Typically, psychotics live their whole lives effectively acting. The sweetest little pie baking grandmaw can be psychotic and just acting out what she believes in, but never have felt a connection with the outside world and experienced the emotional motivations for what she does. Things like Christianity DO help with these people as it gives them a pattern to follow if they choose it. You don't have to feel a thing to copy a behavior.
2. They don't CARE why you do something. It is not uncommon for highly intelligent psychotics to realize what they are, but they don't care, because they can't. I know a person who reached this point... They said to me once, "now I understand why I pretend to cry at funerals." then briefly asked me a few questions about what it might be like to "feel" these things. Ended on a very "oh well, cool" kind of thing. They are very intelligent, very predictable, and even have partial awareness that they are psychotic. It is a bit scary, but if you aren't between them and where they are going, you aren't in danger.

Native Indians for example, I would go as far as to doubt whether they even had a word for depression. Sure do now though.
I don't want to live like Native Americans were living, but I don't think we have to. I believe these things can be balanced... buy by who, or what, I can not answer as do not know. With natural selection being out of the game for humans for the most part, we are kind of screwed.

The solution is good people identifying the evils and evil doers, holding them accountable and taking their countries back.
This is where I put down my firearms, put the tent and packs back in the closet, lock the cave back up, and come here to post, or go to work... THIS is a problem, and a big one. How and who? Me? Am I this wise? Relative to me, I think so, but so does half the people here, so it won't work. If the snake had one head it would be different.

Get indignant!
(feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment.)
Technocracy :
(the government or control of society or industry by an elite of technical experts.)
The idea of "Rule or be Ruled" does carry some weight. Idealistically, I would not mind being ruled by nature, as I believe that is something I can not change. Ruled by other men? Right or wrong, I know that CAN be changed, as they are only men, so the temptation, itch etc, will always be there. If a tornado blows down my shelter, or a storm floods my property, I can just say "stuff happens" and keep on going with a smile or at least not a frown. If a government taxes me unfairly by charging me for their own greed, the smile has to be blind-eyed choice, not an honest reaction. We are all skilled liars to ourselves. Is just part of individual survival though, not fussing about us being human.
If I had a solution, I would execute it today. No other has shown me a solution that includes getting out of where we are, only how it would be if we weren't here.
