There are only two ways to win this current game. Either just refuse to play it altogether, and run your own game, OR play their game, but ignore their rules and make your own rules. We used to call that "playing by Kentucky Rules". It works in all situations so long as you have enough testicular fortitude to make your rules stick, and are inventive enough to sort out your strategy and rules.
For example, I got off the debt hamster wheel 30 years ago, and don't miss it at all. One of my rules is "If I can't pay cash for it, then I don't need it bad enough". My credit score is probably in the basement, and I don't care, because I don't use credit - so why would a credit score matter to me at all?
Same for "social credit scores" Why would I care what mine is? I won't be using it, so why would it matter?
All of these schemes the Elites come up with hinge on one single pivot - they bank on human greed, "keeping up with the Joneses". The video mentions "tokenized real estate and houses" Why would that matter unless one is greedy, and buying the house as an investment to make money on rather than buying it as a HOME where one plans to actually live, for years? My houses are homes, they are not "investments". I ain't planning to sell them and make money on the sale, so why would I care what their "token" says it's worth? The value I place on it is not a market value, so I don't care what the market listing says - it ain't for sale.
Their presumed "control" is entirely dependent on one's approach to life. Like the old joke says, it's "mind over matter" - if you don't mind, then it don't matter. If you don't care about their control, then they effectively have none.

I have played that game pretty well. I have a super high credit score because I use the current system to my advantage. I use cash back zero cost credit cards for all my bills and pay everything off monthly. I finance 1 - 2 years same as cash items at 0% and pay everything off in less time (even when I have the cash to do it) just to boost that credit score.
I HATE paying interest... it actually pisses me off giving away any money on finance charges.
House is paid for, cars are paid for (yeah, my car is 10 years old and still running fine). My truck was 20 years old before I had to get a new one because my kid smashed it. I live frugal and below my means in the event of a job loss or physical health event. I don't plan on ever being homeless or wondering where I am going to live ever again nor do I want to move all over the country just for a job that pays enough to pay the bills. Easier to not have any bills and work any crap job and not be homeless.
And if you will confess with your mouth our Lord Yeshua, and you will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall have life.
