@dictatordave @nomebullyyou Think of it this way, if we had a zombie invasion, i.e. hundred million low intelligence attackers basically unarmed, any military in the world world crumple. Add a bit more competence and you can work with less.
Power dynamics are still in play with the scale factors we have because it is such an impossibly expensive task to plan for large distribution shifts like that.
Other examples:
- If everyone tried to pull their own money out of banks, they would be unable to, and the banking system would collapse.
- Damage the right supply lines (people go on strike in one spot) and a whole industry screeches to a hault.
