The government? The “justice” system? No, not really. Musk isn’t breaking any laws, because he’s a member of the oligarchy that makes the laws.
We the people can do a lot. Start by leaving Twitter and ignoring the Musk propaganda machine. Vote in every election and write to your local representatives, let them know what issues are important to you. Talk to your friends and neighbors about politics, and let them know where you stand. Make an effort in your community to be involved and keep track of what the dipshits are up to. Dipshits never rest, and they don’t have to win every battle to encroach on the rights of others. So we all must remain vigilant.
And if that doesn’t work, then plan for the revolution.

Don’t wait until “that doesn’t work.” It’s already not working well enough to turn the tide. My gut tells me that come November, no matter the outcome of the election, there are going to be a whole bunch of people who need protecting. I intend to be prepared for that eventuality.
Indeed, once faith in the system is eroded to the degree it has in you (and in me) we must all next figure out “what is to be done?”
The answer i have come up with so far is to read. I have been… exceptionally surprised to learn firsthand that the problems we face aren’t new, and that smarter folks than me have put in a lot more thought than me.
I think the other bridge (learned from what little i have read) before actual revolution is community building, by that i mean doing anything and everything you can think of to replace the systems that have failed with the people who it have failed.
Because the way we’re getting squeezed with no sign of slowing it is going to become less of a fantasy and more a necessity and how much we are hurt by its violence will have a lot to do with how much we are prepared.
Ok, stop waiting. Viva la Revolution! You’ve already tried everything else I mentioned, so you should be well connected with the local political groups, and you should know who the enemy is locally. You should be able to come up with a plan for your local community. What do you have?

It hasn’t been working for the last two decades. How long do we have to wait? A fucking century?
