when they come for you, simply buy enough time for your allies to
overcome-intervene. This is the truth of all conflict.

they assassinate or defame your leaders. so what do you do? you organize
without them.
they beat up or frame your strongest, so what do you do? you mobilize without
them.
they cheat out or steal from your most renowned, so what do you do? you make
do without them.
they capture or seduce your young, so what do you do? you try to be good to
them.
they kick and they strangle you whenever you're down, so what do you do? just
get over them?
you can't play if they don't want you to play. Something tells me the board is
their own.
you don't have to play their games. But games can be won, and if you dare,
then try.

if you aren't afraid, then either you aren't in danger or you've misjudged
your opponent.
if you're constantly afraid, then they cannot yet defeat you.
EDIT: either that, or they need you.

they want to start wars so they can force people to view "just accepting it"
as the honorable option.

it, being brutal crackdowns, murders of people like me, authoritarian police
forces wielded to implicitely or explicitely force or frame people who are
against them.
