Why the bizarre absolute? People don't have perfect freedom choosing whom to interact with, and to the extent that they don't, Roko's thesis holds.
But we have near-perfect freedom choosing whom not to interact with, and to choose our environment such that we either aren't dependent upon others' opinions of our status, or such that we are only interacting with those who have favorable perceptions of it.
In marketing terminology, this is called, "finding your niche". ;-)
