Parallel Society?
A Luxury Fantasy for Those Who Do Not Know True Survival
For some, dreaming about a “parallel society” is easy—as long as their position, income, and security remain intact. But for those who truly step out of the system, there is no safety net, no job guarantee, and no freedom to return. While wishful thinkers call for change from their comfortable positions, another story is being written at the edges of society: about real choices, risks without certainty, and the harsh life outside the beaten paths.
In practice, a parallel society only exists for those who stand safely on the sidelines and shout—but not for those who are genuinely trying to escape the system.
Introduction
In a time when we are surrounded by connectivity, it is shocking to realize that more and more people are withdrawing from society. These are not dreamers looking for a different world order, but desperate individuals and families who can no longer function in a system that restricts them.
“Their isolation is not a choice; it is a drastic act of self-preservation.” This withdrawal is a powerful cry of resistance, an undeniable signal that makes us think about what is really happening.
Isolation in a Connected World
The idea of parallel societies is a dream, but the reality is harsher: people are forced to retreat from society. These are not idealists seeking an alternative world; they are individuals and families who can no longer survive in the current system. They live in isolation within a world that rejects them, often without any other choice.
This is not just a quiet form of resistance; it is a powerful cry for help, a call that comes from a deep inner need. It is not a conscious choice; it is a drive that forces them to break away from what harms them. Their retreat is like an instinctive reflex, a hidden force that guides them away from a life that increasingly alienates them. “They have no other option; it is literally a matter of survival.”
However, following this call varies greatly. For some, it is an adventure with a good income or a solid pension; for others, it is a leap into the unknown, with no guarantee of success, no steady income, and the risk of being excluded by a society that does not tolerate them. What is a safe search for one person can be a desperate struggle for another.
Breaking away from the system becomes an act of self-preservation for many, driven by a society that offers them less and less space.
The Reality Check
The idea that a parallel society is emerging, as some claim—even professors—is unrealistic. This society, or the transition to it, is impossible under the current system. The world is too tightly connected by economic, political, and technological structures that crush any idea of a functioning parallel society.
Instead of dreaming about a new, separate system, we need to pay attention to the cry for help that these people give us. Their withdrawal reveals the limits of our current system and shows that something fundamental is missing.
Maybe we should not strive for a parallel society, but for a world where the strength of this “call” is not needed to live freely—a world where there is room for authenticity and connection, without individuals feeling forced to break away to survive.
Conclusion
Instead of getting stuck in the illusion of a utopian parallel society, we need to face the hard truth: our current system is failing. The withdrawal of these people is not just an individual choice; it is an urgent call for change.
“We must not only dream of a world where authenticity is possible but fight for a society where no one feels forced to break away from society to be their true self.” The strength of this “call” cannot be ignored—it is a strong sign that we need a fundamental revision of our worldview.
