Look at the people around you. Do they promise glory or do they promise a lethal joke?

I don't think there are many people really doing anything other than waiting for shit to hit the fan.
Perhaps the only thing I really do that has prophylactic effect at all is to donate money to Gun Owners of America, and sometimes other organizations that I think are fighting on our behalf. If I can't be out there doing the bidding myself, then the next best thing is giving money to somebody else who will do it for you. There is no shame in division of labor.
If you have the means, find an organization that stands up for what you believe in and fights (legal, etc.) for it, and give any money that you would otherwise give to creators, etc. to this organization. Back in the olden days, I used to donate money to various creators, like five dollars a month for Paul Joseph Watson, etc. My thinking at the time was that these people were great at convincing others to think like a conservative, so let's give them money and let them do that job. I was pretty stupid to think this money was going to really help our cause in the long run, because I now know that 99% of these content creators are, to some degree, controlled ops, which means that, even if the current message is having a great effect, they are just one phone call away from flipping the script. For example, Steven Crowder, who also might very well be 100% controlled opposition, was attacked by every one of the supposed independent minded conservatives creators, in what was an obvious smear campaign). The point is, to the degree that you spend money on things you believe in, make sure that this money is counting in the long run and that the recipients can be trusted.
