The logistics of centrally surveilling a massive area of land are pretty tough, much more tougher than we imagine I think. Historically independency seeking people learn how to flee from aggressive governments and move to places that make it harder to track them. Including cutting down on written documents that could expose their org., adopting social structures that decentralize leadership etc. It was fascinating to me, I highly recommend checking the Zomia region. e.g.: https://medium.com/@matthijsbijl/welcome-to-zomia-the-anarchist-country-youve-never-heard-of-6d2172da8ef3 https://medium.com/@matthijsbijl/welcome-to-zomia-the-anarch...
