This is how it goes, a step at a time.
Resist at all costs.

The UK is about to fully collapse economically into a civil war and they are still getting high on hard drugs. These people can't be saved, just hang them and be done with it.
It may be generally true of London, but not of Kent. It may well be true of Birmingham, but not most of the smaller towns and countryside.
Collapse is likely in most of the west, as most of the post-war economic system was built to break in the sense of planned obsolescence, only further underwritten by the nuances of trade arranagements that have pears from south america packaged in thailand, and sold in the united states; similar stupidity exists in the UK.
The problem for the people, as with most of the west, is an inability to properly articulate the problem, and thus, an inability to organize and deal with it.
It's made no easier for them by one of the the most effective and insidious thought police forces since the DDR's stasi. They're useless for law enforcement, but highly effective for speech and communications policing.

That's a very interesting viewpoint and I would say it gives us a good path to follow. I agree that decentralization is the way, europeans need to segregate into different tribes and form a clear alliance among the ones that have the same goal - let the leaders rise naturally through competence.
But to determine the real life solutions, we need to know how they want their society to be. That's something I see barely anyone articulating properly and honestly and how we get there.

That's going to be as variable as the individual, but can be reasonably sectioned as intersections of rural/urban and predominant industry. Eg, farming and fishing have a lot in common, but they are not the same. The perspectives of people in a city will almost certainly be different to those in a small town.
What they have in common is small enough to make things simple:
* no government (local, regional, national) politicians with a dual citizenship in any kind of elected or appointed position.
* X first, where X is the country in which a government serves. Your town first, your region first, your nation first. Everything outside should be subject to referenda either in approval or veto.
* 100% transparent government: no more secrets, no more backroom deals, no more treacherous treaties, and the personal financies of every elected official should be available for review by everyone effected by their position.
* property rights, rights to self defense. No one should be beholden to indifferent bureaucrats when their lives, livelihoods, and wealth are on the line.
* radical reconsideration of communications, censorship, etc. It should never be illegal to express an opinion, no matter how unpopular, but it should be illegal to transmit pornography and abuse content.
* complete replacement, or at least review, of all public servants at every level, with an eye towards booting the majority: if they weren't "part of the problem", they almost certainly weren't helping. Those that were should be obvious, and subject to a raise.
... things like this are simple, powerful, and impossible without some serious organization that is indifferent to the machinations of current governance and law. In a word, "revolutionary".
This should form a framework in which local flavors are added and local considerations govern and additional, limited layer of law and regulation, including taxation.

On the top of communication, we didn't have a way to safely communicate or organize but due to the new multipolar world, things have changed.
Since all western eletronics are monitored by israel, the way forward is to copy what Hamas and the other arab states who fight the great Satan do: use chinese tech.
By importing and using chinese devices with reasanable encryption and vpns, it will make it extremely difficult for the west to censor and spy on you. Or use old tech, like radios.
To the degree Chinese tech is backdoored, those backdoors can (and are) exploited by spooks the world over for their purposes.
Radio technology, encrypted or otherwise, makes it easy to locate the transmitter, and that makes it easy to target via drone, missile, goon squad.
