What can we do?
Well, to start, let's agree to NOT fall into TPTB trap of violence. It just gives them a 'blood flush' that produces stiff dicks that they use to sexually abuse children. So let us be smarter than that.
We need to be asymmetric in our response. This means to develop a strategy and employ tactics against which they (tptb and their minions) have no defense.
One such tactic is an old one, well tried, but forgotten these days. This is 'shunning'. There are many aspects of shunning. Not only can you totally remove your energy from tptb by not being sucked into their games such as funding for political parties, or mega 'charities', or shopping at 'their' stores, but shunning also includes more active forms of resistance. As an instance, one could attend every political rally possible, and deliberately stand with their back to the speakers. Or attend, and simply start clapping and refuse to stop. When asked, present a note explaining your actions and keep right on clapping (la casserola variant). Or, attend the political rally and sing a 'patriotic' song, continuously, and when challenged, instantly flip the challenge back on the aggressor by insulting their patriotism. And other, similar variants.
Imagine how the political minions will react when their motorcade routes are lined with thousands of people who are not violently shouting and protesting, but standing, silent, and backs to the proceedings.

It's not the size ofthe weapon that determines a country's greatness, but the caliber of the person holding it.
America still has much to offer, we just need to clean up the septic tank that is DC.
But you're not. And voting in the same criminal psychopaths is certainly not going to do it either.
We will continue to see the insane acts of the American voting system until the people grow tired of government intrusion and corrupt social programs intended to further entitlements and government dependency and revolt by forceful means of throwing all politicians out and starting over with patriotic Americans.
the only difference between his organisation and the government, was that the government had more money, more guns, and more men.

You see, this kind of response really frustrates me. YOu are stil buying into the exact propaganda peddled out by the government and their agencies.
Yes, the problem is entitlement - but it's NOT the entitlement you speak about, it's the entitlement of the oligarchs, the banksters. They are bleeding the people dry. The American people have just had $ billions of debt put on their shoulders. Why? To make the banksters richer. THAT is the entitlement which is killing the country and the world.
The banksters, the governments, the military industrialists all believe they are ENTITLED to your wealth, ENTITLED to have you work for them as slaves.
Unless you really grasp what the real problem is, how can you ever resolve it?

Because WE ARE BETTER THEN YOU! Well at least every country on earth. That is just the way it is, we invented the car, the TV, we put man on the moon the list goes on. Our contributions are as goes: the pinnacle of humanity the apex of human civilization. Yes we deserve our bragging rights, we stopped a tyrant from invading Europe in WW2. So you are tired of being belittled if that is how you feel then stop being a cry baby. We dont wear our heart on our sleeve, yes our arrogance serves it's purpose. I will settle for a bunch of cocky yanks then a bunch of whiny Europeans. I keep seeing these complain about American threads come and go. It is about you when you have to make a pointless thread based on your feeling inadequate about your country due to Americans attitude.
Who cares?
