Denial? Yeah, that's an option.

A number of libertarian outlets are stressing withdrawal. Just let politics go and focus more on evading state power and exercising the freedom you have left than on trying to affect the political process.

Moldbug is in some ways the extreme version of that - stop pretenses of freedom and consent and formally recognize your subjection, so that the rulers have less interest in doing idiotic and destructive things to maintain their power. No voting, just obedience. I don't think that works, but that seems to be his logic.
