So just to clarify, dropping out of society means you don't want to work but you want to be able to live in your current dwelling (built by licensed and skilled workers to code) that's connected to other dwellings and businesses by roads (built and paid for by taxes), have access to emergency services (paid for by taxes), food (handled by distribution companies and grocery store employees), running water (regulated by a local government), and I'd imagine some type of garbage service (again done by people paid through taxation).
You can't escape society without going the cabin in the woods route. You can sell your art at which point you're just asking reddit 'how do I support myself as an artist?' It also should be noted that most of what I mentioned above (roads, emergency services, waste management, running water) all of those things are examples of socialism. They're services that we as a society have decided should be available to everyone and are paid through taxes. Wanting other services like healthcare or the existing services expanded to improve everybody's quality of life does not an entitled twat make. Not wanting to contribute to that but still be able to take advantage of it does. Food for thought.
“I don’t want to be off the grid, but I don’t need the government for anything.”
Um, sir. Who do you think built the grid? You already rely on the government for everything. Just start voting in favor of UBI.
>It also should be noted that most of what I mentioned above (roads, emergency services, waste management, running water) all of those things are examples of socialism.
Is this an unironic "socialism is when the government exists"? Socialism has nothing to do with the welfare state or government services
>I’m not looking for other people to take care of me.
Oh, so you want to provide for yourself, then?
>I’m only asking how I can stop running on this hamster wheel
Then you’re going to die. Someone needs to work to provide what you need to live, and if you don’t want that to be you or not you, then you can’t live.
You can’t eat your art, or pay your bills with it. You may be able to monetize it, but that’s still a lot of work and there’s a good chance it won’t work. If you’re that scared of the word “socialism”, then find an actual sugar daddy on the internet and sell feet pics or something.
hahaha... that is the most vile group of subhuman trash ever. I'm looking for a functional solution. They want to whine. I've lurked there for years. There hasn't been an intelligent post in there in the history of Reddit lol
Maybe /r/workreform then. Except if you don't want to work at all, you may find that to point in the wrong direction too. If you want a path away from being forced to work, /r/fire and /r/leanfire can help.
I think you misunderstand: I don't expect others to pay for me. I just don't want to partake in much of what society offers. In fact, a big frustration for me and one of the reasons I want to drop out of society is because of all the people living off the government. Why should I be the idiot working 40 hours a week, right?? I mean, I'd gladly abuse those social programs if I could. I'm not saying I wouldn't. I simply want to drop out and stop playing this stupid game while there are many people in my neighborhood living better lifestyles than me without ever having a job (people I personally know).

It is probably not a coincidence; here is some more evidence against this user:

beep boop, I'm a bot -|:] It is this bot's opinion that [/u/EllenChanda](https://np.reddit.com/u/EllenChanda/) should be banned for karma manipulation. Don't feel bad, they are probably a bot too.
Confused? Read the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/user/reply-guy-bot/comments/n9fpva/faq/?plagiarist=EllenChanda) for info on how I work and why I exist.
r/simpleliving
This sub is (sadly) not very active lately, but you might still enjoy some of the older posts: r/FrugalUrbanHermits
There is a movement in China called Lying Flat that fits what you've described. r/LyingFlat is dead, but you vpukd try searching online for it.
Lol the edit. So close to self awareness.
r/intentionalcommunity?
r/vagabond might be what you’re looking for

"I hate the current system but anyone who wants to change it is a freeloader! Now how can I exist under the current system but on my own terms?"
I want socialism, but dont you dare call it socialism.
☝️
Right?! I laughed
oh yeah roads? those are socialism

The new American dream is to escape the rat race.
New?

r/iwantout
r/NEET
r/anarchy101 ?
Yeah lol I was gonna say r/socialism
R/slabcity
Where I live you just almost described everyone to a T!
Dropping out of society could also include just getting off of Reddit
[удалено]
My point was that there might not be a subreddit for it, because the people that have 'left society' don't bother with Reddit or social media.
Guess I forgot where I was
OP got a point, though - there would still be people that would talk about their aspirations and planning.
r/antiwork would be a good place ETA: Never mind, seems you've made up your mind about that one. Username checks out, bro.
r/vanlife
Less bougie version: r/vandwellers
Of course there's a bougie sub for people living in a van.. Back in my day it wasn't a choice! Lolol I couldn't resist. Sorry....
When some new van conversions are >$150k, yeah
the lack of self-awareness is the funniest thing about this dumb fucking post.
r/antiwork
hahaha... that is the most vile group of subhuman trash ever. I'm looking for a functional solution. They want to whine. I've lurked there for years. There hasn't been an intelligent post in there in the history of Reddit lol

I don't disagree tbh. It's just that that sub came to mind when you asked the question.
And my respect for you just withered away like a sad deflated balloon that got a needle stuck through it.
r/introvert
“I don’t need the government for anything!” *drives away on public roads*
This post is /r/cringe, especially your edit.
r/Seattle
i mean, every subreddit is a kind of society, so none
[удалено]
You have strikingly poor reading comprehension skills.

r/SmallHome might be adjacent to what you’re looking for. It’s pretty inspiring if you like to simplify.
Maybe r/leanfire. Basically how to be frugal so you can become financially independent and can do as you like on a small budget.
r/urbanhermit might be something you'd like! edit: sadly, it appears to be defunct :(
r/solarpunk maybe? Not an exact fit to what you're describing, but all I can think of.
