You don't have to go Amish to recede from the economy, I haven't bought anything new except food and drink for over a month

Capitalism without the capacity to buy anything or have a meaningful impact on power structures is just called Fuedalism.

You don't even need to join a weird religion to reject slop.

There are ecovillages, and other forms of intentional communities. You have the Global Ecovillage Network, Federation of Egalitarian Communities, and the Foundation for Intentional communities.
