I don't let fear live my life for me. Focus on yourself and real life, not the bullshit you see online. The best thing you could do is get off the internet, because most of what you're reading is fear-mongering bullshit.

Taking a trip overseas helps. The only true defense that has ever existed against evil states are other states.

A lot of the 2nd and 3rd world states that last century had very heavy handed governments, in some respects have now passed a lot of western countries when it comes to freedom.

The only time you should truly fear your government is when they won't let you leave.

Read The Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals that Protect Us From Violence by Gavin de Becker. His book relates more to violence, but he talks about how you can use your intuition to help assess threats, and how you can tell the difference between some real factor in your environment that may lead you to be afraid, and something outside of your environment that you need not worry about. One example scenario he presents is that you are about to board an airplane, and you have a gut feeling that the pilate is going to crash the plane. If you watched a news program a couple weeks back that did a story on airlines hiring inexperienced pilates, then you can probably put your seatbelt on and try to relax. If, on the other hand, you Saw your pilate staggering around looking drunk in the airport, then it would be a good idea to listen to your intuition and get off of the plane. I know this may seem unrelated, but being able to accurately assess what is actually a threat, and what is hype can go a long way.

Another thing to keep in mind, and Jack Spirko from the Survival Podcast gets credit for this, is what is in your sphere of influence? Are you fretting over something you can control? If you can't change the outcome, then stop being preoccupied over it. If you care about free speech and due process, and you think you have a chance at protecting it, then by all means, go for it, but if you're just making yourself angry and freaked out by reading a bunch of news stories, and writing angry comments online, yet feel like you aren't helping anything, then consider spending your time doing something more productive. Writing angry comments can sometimes be cathartic, and I'm guilty of being swept up in news hype sometimes, but I at least recognize that it's probably not the best use of my time.

Ask yourself, is it really that important that free speech and due process be protected for you personally, or does it just seem like something you should care about? If the former, then what are you going to do about it? even if you care about a cause, if you aren't going to or able to do something about it, then you might as well just take a chill pill, because your angst will serve no purpose.

Though I have no clue how to pull this off.

Abandon the concept of a home country. Nations are shells for utility only. Look up five flags. Don't ever give any kind of leverage over your choices to anyone else. You should never be in a situation where you need to rely on any other group or person in any way. They can all go to hell and you'll be unaffected? You're doing it right.

Cryptocurrencies, detachment from any state affiliated entities to the maximum possible you're able, insulation from any obligations whatsoever. It's basically the only way to address this kind of things these days the way the world has developed, and it's likely to get worse rather than better seeing as most of the plebs are either completely unaware of the situation or ok with it.

Fear is a basic human emotion. Don't fight it, accept it and channel the energy it provides into something constructive. It could be that you are meant to fight to uphold those rights you fear losing. How? That's for you to determine. Or, you can use it to push yourself towards another goal. My Jujutsu teacher told me when I was young "Fear is not to be feared." Took me a decade to really understand what he meant by that.
