What are we supposed to do? I see many post on here, including myself, about what is going on and how evil etc it is, but I never see any call to action or ways we can do something about it. Feel like all we can do it talk about it, feel like we're powerless

Drop the fuck out. Direct action via non-participation. Start working towards self-sufficiency as much as possible. Try and strive to an end goal where you don't require any of their 'help' or intervention. Obviously can't be done overnight, and everyone is going to have to live in 'their' world in some capacity. But it doesn't have to be all-encompassing. Use your time to learn and work towards lessening your reliance.

Although I agree with what you say, relying less on the gov and being more self sufficient is a great thing, it doesn't really ring true with a typical "call to action". If more people relied less on the gov that would be a great thing no doubt but I don't see her that can effect change on a large scale. Granted if everyone did this it would, but that isn't likely to happen.
