I'm thinking of moving somewhere foreign and being a tutor or something. Any other ideas?

Teach english, practice permaculture in a homestead. If you're lonely, found an intentional community.

I keep the idea of trying to convince my dad's cousin to let me take up farming on the old family farm in the back of my head. He's in his 60's and doesn't have any kids so it's not inconceivable that he would support it. Unfortunately the property is increasingly surrounded by creeping sprawl.
Beyond that I think about getting the documents together to prove my Italian citizenship and moving to bumfuck nowhere in southern Italy.
Outlook isn't too good though. Even if I did one of these things I'd probably have to do some slaving just to make enough money. Maybe it's just best to learn a tolerable trade and get on with that.

The US military? Hard-pass. You'd be better off cutting out the middleman and joining the IDF.

Read How to Fail at Everything and Still Win Big and then Taleb (mostly Anti-Fragile and The Black Swan). It won't directly tell you how to avoid wage-slavery but it will give technique and heuristics to increase your chances.

There's also plenty of opportunity within wagery still, you just have to look for it/get lucky. I have an evening job each weekday that takes 1 hour but pays 4, and supplement working for a temp agency in the day. I can refuse day work whenever I like, and can almost always get my evening shifts filled by another worker if I need to.

there is no escape. in your lifetime if the industrial system is allowed to continue expanding then it will make independent living impossible.

your best bet is to organize for a revolution to force its collapse.

you can run but you can't hide lol

I’m not really sure. I’d probably just keep writing and potentially join the military anyway.

You can't just move somewhere foreign. They have to let you in, and (except for within the EU) every country has strict immigration laws to prevent outsiders from working there.

You might be left alone for years or even decades, but eventually your little slice of heaven will be forcibly taken from you for being non-productive usage of land, resources, and labor.

join the postal service, the pay is good and you can transfer anywhere in the united states. plus if you're a mail carrier there's lots of fresh air and exercise and if you work for a small town post office not much mail to deliver

Running a society is like conducting an orchestra. If you don't want to waste too much time on contributing the sound just learn one of the easier instruments and stay in the background taking it easy. It's like a short story I once read or parable or whatever about the hare and the tortoise.
