Same as always, bow down and take it.

Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Read the whole piece. It's the opposite of bowing down... We need a plan and we need to implement it. Our parents and grandparents did the same for us - and now it's our turn.

Start with American education. The commies have money in the stimulus bill to push their pervert ideas ... and we're paying for it. Maybe it's time for US to create a playbook and starting back rather than just whining.

Not “take it”, but deflect the abuses that come our way. There are many ways to use the superior position of the stronger person against them, this principle has been touched up on in various forms of civil disobedience. Slow-walking any requests made upon you, “losing” the directive that was supposed to compel you to obey, deliberately but with feigned innocence misunderstand every order that is contrary to your own understanding of the world around you, and complain that the orders delivered are much too difficult to carry out.

Think like a badly treated four-year-old, and kick their shins when hauled off for disciplinary action. They might “win” in the short term, but an unwilling slave is a greater liability than asset.

No matter how “efficient” a command-and-control system may seem to the theoretical thinker, there is one internal flaw to this logic, and that is for the individual to have some incentive to behave well. Take away that incentive, and you might as well be a drooling idiot.
