They are winning without a fight.
I would hardly call it without a fight. Many are wildly against this, now maybe you mean without violent response.
Here is the thing about transitioning into real collective violence, peace loving honest men will avoid it to the maximum extent they can because we know once that beast is released everyone is changed. This leads to evil’s ability to manipulate and get the advantage, often such an advantage that they win earthy struggles.
The problem is, do we really want peace loving men to resort to violence quickly, what sort of world does that create? I seek it not and hope to never but if I do then restraints are removed, though the timing can often still be to late. What then is the right time and how do we know when to resort to cooperate violence?
This is the struggle of a sinful world.
