We cannot expect too much of the common man in this day and age. What he was in the past and what he is now are two different things. If he was willing to fight before, say in 1776, he isn't willing to do anything now. He is surrounded by too many creature comforts that blunt his awareness of present circumstances. And as long as those creature comforts remain, he'll gladly surrender whatever liberty he has for more security... and comfort.
I would fight back too, but there's nothing you can do when the vast majority of people cheer on the government's suppression of their own rights and freedoms. And then go out of their way to shame and humiliate you when you try to explain to them what's wrong with giving up rights and freedoms without a fight.
But it is what it is. Sometimes there's just no light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could sugarcoat it, but I can't. The unvarnished truth is never pleasant to hear. We're basically looking at from between a few decades to very likely centuries of tyrannical rule at most. Western man isn't going to fight back. It's over.

Take a look at history, were we ever really “free”?
Literally anything to the hard right of what we have now is better. Most of these commies though deserve the Augusto Pinochet treatment.
