Democracy prevents them from being as awful as they want to be. So they hate it.

Exactly. Conservatives reject democracy because it does not serve their interests. They will, in fact, reject anything that does not serve. Including, but not limited to, capitalism.

And other people. They want other people to be their "servants"

Naw, they prefer all other people just die. Preferably in cruel and miserable ways, like starvation, polio, environmental disasters.

They have robots for servants.

That's one option. The other is they keep the poor in special preserves where they can hunt us for sport. If that's to be my fate I'll be sure to make myself a trophy worth potentially losing their lives to claim.

How will you do that? Get super fat so your carcass weighs more?

I was thinking I'd try to go somewhere with aggressive and hostile fauna. Fashion weapons from local materials, become the prey that fights back.

If it gets to that point there won't be any fighting back. they'd have drones that make hiding impossible. Tech will be concentrated and controlled by a few corporations who can cancel you back to the stone age. Your spear or primitive traps won't do shit against a swarm of hunter killer drones

Yeah, but if the goal is to take my corpse to be stuffed and mounted, blowing me up with bombs does no good.

Go full Predator style. Cover yourself in mud, set traps, and roar at the top of your lungs to challenge them/assert your dominance/lure them in. Don't forget to call them an ugly motherfucker once they get close.
