the powerless utilize deception, they must but the powerless will let you know what will happen when they get power through their deception, because they must gather the like-minded- those who *also* wish to have their petty revenge it's like an open conspiracy

It's true because it's a valid example of projection: the powerful already exercise violence constantly, and they know that exercising violence is just what people with power do, so they know that the powerless would exercise violence if they had power. No moral high ground.

"I'm scared of you because you would be justified in hurting me" is not a good look or a good argument.

i'm scared of them because they are deluded into thinking they are justified in hurting me

I don't want to hurt you. I want to hurt specific people. If ever I have less than a totally specific vision, I want to use the best available evidence to interrogate the guilt or innocence of specific suspects.

sure, you are negative-sum (which is how zero-sum necessarily instantiates in an entropic system)
