If this is the worst problem with the Belgian police you could find, I am glad.
Of course there are many more problems with the Belgian police and especially Belgian prisons.
Still no reason to commit obvious crimes or to physically attack the police itself.

How do you plan to get from our present neoliberal society to your "lustysociety" without destroying property or doing anything that puts you at odds with cops?

There is no benefit in doing anything that puts me/us at odds with a government.
Except for taxes and compulsory education in classic schools, I do not see anything where existing governments are a problem.
Technology continues to make classic education for classic wage slavery obsolete; this becomes more and more obvious to all persons and their elected politicians.

Regarding limited resources like land and water:

  • Either most persons (not only members of the lustysociety) will democratically vote to change the allocation of the resources.
  • Or members of the lustysociety and similar societies will coordinate their wealth and efforts to buy land and water on the existing markets.

IMO, the reason why persons worldwide are friendlier and more tolerant today than in the past (e.g. a war is only feared by old minded persons) is not because of some magic, random or inevitable evolution of culture but 100% related to richer and more comfortable lives provided my technology.

Sounds like you're a feudalist.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. A billion people go hungry in this world everyday. And now you're saying war is nothing to be feared..? You're a troll, right?

You might be rich and comfortable, but most of humanity pays the price for your privilege.

I do not want to pay taxes that are wasted for war and antiquated education and debt and bank money.
How does that make me a feudalist?
I see no benefit in fighting physically the police and damaging wealth/property.

If I am against the state for good reasons, then I am a feudalist.
If I defend the state for good reasons (e.g. protection from violent extremists), then I am an ancap or something else.
Many persons think the state is good and should protect against crime but when the state wants to ban cryptography just to know what happens then the state becomes the bad monster to be feared.
Many use Facebook but are against Facebook because Facebook uses their data for profit but Facebook will never break into their house for a raid.
Quite irrational and inconsistent.
Fortunately we have no law and police in Europe like in the USA.

There is no reason for almost all persons in the northern hemisphere to fear war.
For most people in the southern hemisphere there is no reason to fear war either.
If there was no USA, UK, France and Israel even less people would fear war.
If there was no Islam, even less people would fear war.
If there was no hate among Africans, even less people would fear war.

Hungry people do not go hungry because of technology but because of lack of technology.
And no, I have no benefit from anyone being poor in this world.
I feel bad for all poor persons.
A rich neighbour is better than a poor neighbour.
It would be good if the billion of poorest persons could contribute to science and technology instead of living in misery.
I am sure that the "poor" persons complain much less about "rich" white men and women than some persons on this forum do.
