Don't do anything until they change their actions and remove that idiot. I don't care how long it takes. Weeks, months, whatever. Stop it all.

Don't. Do. Anything.

Of course, we are too programmed to do that, so...

However, it is the only thing that will work. Other than direct action, but that seems to scare people so horribly that it appears to me that we would rather just be killed than actually stand up and stop them.

I guess history does repeat itself.
