Yep you're exactly right, the only way they were taken out of power last time was through hundreds of thousands of people organising due to the high amount of social capital and feeling of solidarity amongst very action-orientated and masculine men post world war 1.

Since then the people in power have been doing everything they can to break up social ties (social capital) and promote anti-authoritarianism through New Left, Postmodernism etc philosophies. I have come to the same realisation that we don't have the foundation for a fascist revolution (but it's still the only model that can work, we have no elite and military support for some kind of coup or something) and even if by some act of god we could organise literally millions of people they would still have more resources than us due to the insane amount of wealth inequality today compared to the interwar era.

We have the same struggle as them but all the factors they had in their favour don't apply to us and we have like 10x steeper of a hill to climb. The only benefit we did have was that we could reach people through the internet at a much lower cost than irl propaganda but even that is being taken from us.

My honest expectations are that if liberalism goes south, it will be because of the aggressive insistence of liberals on self-sabotage and idiocy, if anything. This does complicate things for people who want to do something constructive, though. I can't think of anything doable other than building human capital, networking and promoting a new counter-culture and self-improvement, then just waiting for a political solution to develop on its own. It seems like an atrocious plan but I can't think of anything better. Even then, that also has its risks.
