Many posts on here recently have been staring down the problems of our society. Many of these problems are easily noticeable and are what is causing our lack of autonomy. As another user (u/King1035) talked about, the world is a prison, we are forced to do a majority of the things that we do and our lives are not truly in our control. There are things we can do to make our lives more fulfilling within this massive system that only wants you for your labor; we can work towards making a better society for ourselves and friends, but ultimately this system (heavily influenced by capitalism) causes a majority of people to overworked and stressed. Luckily, this system is unsustainable. There will be a time where workers are fed up and work for their liberation from the wealthy managerial class.
What we need to stop this madness is anarchy. We need to stop the governments that are causing a majority of the problems in the world; people say that criminals are bad but the real criminals are the people at the top who let people die to produce profit (Luigi Mangione, anyone); those that donate money to genocidal nations just to maintain good relations (America and Israel). We need a world where communities work together for the good of all people without subsections of the population controlling what others do. We need a world where we can produce what we need without being subservient to a government. We need consensus based societies where problems aren't simply voted on but rather we come to compromises where all views are taken into account. The best way to do this is culture. If an anti-authoritarian culture is strong enough within a community it will not devolve back into government. If you're interested in more about anarchy I would heavily recommend the book "Anarchy Works" by Peter Gelderloos.
No masters!
