Because I believe in democracy not as a political tool but as a fundamental right. I don’t wish to use democracy to gain more power.

This also would be manipulative. If you think society can provide you freedom, you are looking in the wrong places.
The anti-manipulation training or the emetic could be beneficial, I agree.
The 'proper' answer would be to address the manipulator, to prevent their interventions, so that they can live their lives naturally, if they are not harming anyone.
It seems tome that society is very much what does provide freedom, just not all freedoms.
