theres a game that came out recently, its taught people a lot about risk vs reward.

its called Dune Awakening.(i know, LET ME FINISH)

the game right now is relatively good except for one major issue. end game content has split the player base.

i wont over explain it, but the end game was intended to be almost entirely PvP based. which ended up with zergs taking advantage of PVE players who entered the end game location known as the deep desert. they would attack them, and block them from end game content, controlling all the resources. eventually enough people complained that the devs split the deep desert location, half PVE, and half PVP.

the main complaints from this change came from the PVP minded zerg guilds (established guilds that outnumber and outgun solos and smaller guilds and thus dominate the server)

their main complaint was that due to this change, PVE players had a better chance of getting similar resources with less risk, albeit at a slower rate if they wanted to mine them in the PVE side. denser clusters of resources were in the PVP area, condensing the risk vs reward structure. so, now that the PVE players had a better chance of establishing themselves in the deep desert, and arming themselves to a similar tier point, the zergs were pissed because that meant that there were co op minded people who would be equally well equipped mentally and in terms of hardware to handle the DD and to compete for the PVP side resources.

the zergs wanted easy pickins. they wanted to bomb ill equipped noobs one by one, and not give them the chance to establish themselves. when they understood that they could no longer pick on them like before, and that PVP would essentially become a more consentual endevour with better equipped players who would fight harder in mutual combat. they simply left the game.

it became a lot more peaceful, and the once meak PVE players began organizing and banding together to defend one another whenever zergs or griefers started acting up against solo players and PVE farmers. at least currently in this state of the game.

if the protestors are armed, and there were thousands of them, even millions. the police and the military will be present, but will keep their distance for fear of losing their lives. they will no longer have the upper hand, they have to reasses the risk, vs the reward. no longer will we have to depend on them having a moral compass, or moral life changing catharsis about how they "earn" a pension, paid for by the people they subjugate and abuse.

they will think twice about escalation. and many of them, the cowards who thought they could just show up, bully, beat, kidnap, kill, and rob people with ease and "legal justification" will leave. they will have second thoughts when they realize that they have just as much of a chance of losing their lives as the people they abuse do.

and thats when its not fun to play anymore, thats when they put the sticks down, and find something else to do to feel big and strong. maybe theyll start a podcast and sell supplements to teenage boys and lie about the details of their prior service, who gives a fuck.

the people need to organize and arm themselves. the moral high road is a propagandists wet dream of the self subjugation of the people. peaceful protesters have their place, but when general strikes are met with force, in every form. there has to be a reverberation of will and action, or "the beatings will continue until moral improves"

the germans didnt revolt and save themselves from fascism en mass. they were on average either too brainwashed, or too afraid, and that cost the world millions of lives.

we record history so we learn from it. we can change the future. because of it.

its not as cut and dry as i make it sound. they will likely apply pressure, kidnap leaders, designate protestors as terrorists, etc, etc. but the people will see the message. the message is that the united states has a second amendment for a reason, and it also has the most heavily armed civilian population on the planet. while protestors have the ability to defend themselves, others will rise up and work in cells to attack those responsible. protesting is all about sending a message. if the message "you can bully us and the most we'll do is not show up for work and tweet angry tweets" then thats essentially giving up and waiting for a make believe super hero to save the day so you can go back to watching netlfix and pretending climate change wont effect you in your lifetime. (it already is)

nobody is coming to save the united states. nobody.

you have to save yourselves. and its going to be hard, and violent, and dark. but in the end, there are far more of you than there are billionaires and their lackeys.

there are also police officers, and vets that will side with you. there are also former MAGAts that will side with you. the longer this shit goes on, the more they will defect.

the nazis changed their colours as soon as it wasnt safe to fly them, as soon as the shine tarnished on their little badges. for good or bad reasons, they went underground where they belong. some woke up and threw away their ideals and lived better lives, learning from theur mistakes and teaching others to be better than they were,, and others quietly festered in their old ways and passed them on to future fascists. waiting for the right time to strike.

this is the result of letting fascists feel safe enough to be fascists.

so the answer is very simple.

make it unsafe to be a fascist, everywhere. all over the world. forever. like fascist whack a mole. we just have to smack their little heads back down in their greasy little holes every time they pop up for air. with the biggest mallet we can find.

and if you think its scary to fight for your freedom. it is. it always will be terrifying to stand up to bullies. fascists. and the overwhelming odds stacked against you. but their power comes from your fear.

and so ill leave you with a quote.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
