oh lovely
"As of 2020, DARPA was actively working on pre-operational prototypes that would make swarms of autonomous lethal drones available to the US military."
The best defense imo is to make yourself either useful economically or culturally, or at least not specifically hated by anyone powerful.
The future of warfare, and of organization in general, is distributed. One might even say "swarm-based".
Good thing the political ideology of this website isn’t specifically in opposition to the current power structure
As long as your opsec is okay, that won't work against you. Only your fellow posters are watching you post.
Anyway, it's like the Deng gambit. If you're economically useful, the government harms itself by knocking you off, and has an incentive to keep you in place. It's a slightly different story for non-state actors, but those have less intel by several orders of magnitude, and you can appear benign to them too.
