No, we can't beat it. It is the end, for the next decade or three. We're watching history play out, from the wrong end, as has happened many, many times. You might as well march and protest against the river's flow.
Best you can do is hunker down, figure out the best play for you and your family. Get armed, learn and train, stockpile rice and corn and ammo, figure out what medicine(s) you need, learn to grow things, find a place to run to when it gets hot.
I can already hear the cries from those that didn't do fare well in history class: "deFeAtiSt!"
If one doesn't like my take, you are free to get on the trains. Used to say I'd fight for ya', not anymore, too close to home to do anything but protect my own.
This is not what "learning from history" means. The future is not set in stone, this is just copium.
