Europe, Britain, Australia, and Canada all doing this shit at the same time... Come on, whose really incharge here?

We really need to smash shit up and replace this pretense of democracy with a more direct form of democracy.

Is there a militia or some club I can join with this aim?

I am kinda hoping this attitude changes if America has a civil war. Odds are that we would see all kinds of awful things happening, it would be nice if the world takes notes on how to avoid the same.

Taking your question seriously - If you're in the USA, you could find your nearest SRA chapter. Often SRA members know people in other less overt local organizations that you may be able to link up with.

Europe wants to neuter its population to keep it safe. USA wants to arm toddlers with handguns to do the same.

The last I checked toddlers aren't yet in kindergarten, and therefore cannot be part of the Kindergardians daycare and paramilitary training programs.
