I'm glad you're past capitalism bad. But it's a critical message that the majority don't get. For example, in the US we have two capitalist parties with nearly identical fiscal policies. There's no party to vote for that isn't the problem with respect to fiscal policy and economic principles.
Thus, one thing you can do is work on the people who don't understand all the problems we have that are the direct result of capitalism. Sharing information, helping them understand the linkages between their day to day struggles, and thst our system is literally the root of it.
Another is to join or found a labor union at your workplace. There is a lot of opportunity to organize and get people involved.
If you're more just looking for how to prepare for the likely collapse, there are groups like the SRS Socialist Rifle Association. There's every possibility that capitalism will collapse the US.
You can join a third party or the democratic local group around you and try to move their policies and stances to the left and away from capitalism. I personally don't have a lot of faith in the system atm. But I prefer anything to collapse and possible civil war.
You could even google this stuff yourself? I think I've been really generous on your "I'm angry, spoon feed me." If you don't mean it that way, then take it as constructive criticism.
I think what you don't realize is we're all past "Capitalism bad". So seeing the same goddam comment in every thread isn't helpful. It's actually turning people away from the cause. You don't need to spoon feed us anything, but you could lead with something more substantial. You really need to update your messaging.
