Brainwashed would be the most harmful one in that list.  Even poor and disorganized populous that has guns can affect change.

What country is it you live in?

The best way to stop the abuse of power is to give everyone a gun.

It's a video about gold, but the lesson applies just as well to bitcoin:

Gold: Independent Money

The ability to issue money is too much power for governments, banks, anybody... The best way to stop the abuse of power is to spread it as thinly and widely as possible

You would be surprised. In my country pretty much anyone can get a gun (it's one of our highest laws) but most of them tolerate rampant abuse of power on a local, state, and federal level. Guns don't help if the people who own them are disorganized, poor, and brainwashed.
