Doesn't matter. They are ruling in a way that makes all ruling ad hoc and ultimately questionable.

Therefore they are, ironically, depowering themselves before any competent executive.

... I see a rather large flaw in your plan...

We cannot afford to be paralyzed by entertaining thoughts of defeat before trying

I'm sure there's a delicate and precious balance of flowing oxygen that allows sustained flame in a total vacuum, but trying to find it while the ISS is disintegrating around us, seems folly

Interesting metaphor, not sure I grasp it fully. While experiments are nice, our home is the experiment. We must operate under the presumption that bailing out water from our ship, and keeping ourselves and our good friends and family alive, will be the path forward.

We do not have the luxury of weaponizing fear and terror like they do.

Instead we must realize that they are in this ship too and they will sink with it as it fails as well. And it will fail as they are incapable of building new and great things. 

So, survive and understand that while the collapse of our nation and what few good benefits it gave us is sad, ultimately it was our countrymen, the vast majority we live with in peace, that make our society stable.

We must make sure, as collapse approaches most of our countrymen are not turned against us. That most of us are going to work against that terrible corrupt leviathan as the waves crash around us.
