I think you’re describing any person’s life within a larger social construct.
I don’t see how you can achieve any meaningful goal without collaborating with people in power.

Depends on how you define meaningful. Raising happy & healthy kids, helping someone in need etc, can be meaningful to many people, but don't require 'collaborating with people in power'.
But it does. At the very least, you need to keep paying off the people in power and do everything within the framework of their rules, otherwise you’re in trouble
I’m fairly certain you can go live somewhere off-grid and do everything however you want.
It’s only a tradeoff if you also want all the convenience of modern society.

You missed this qualifier: "person’s life within a larger social construct."
