There is a big policy space between "We are done with the theatre" and "literally faceless, anti-social dystopia". Unfortunately many of the policies in that space will negatively effect powerful vested interests (see climate change, see health reform, see food standards, see police training, see banking, see...). Such vested interests have expended vast amounts of effort to convince the 'ordinary person' that nothing can be done - or equivalently, that the only things that would work would end our way of life as we know it. I'm sorry you seem to have been caught up in that.
