I've been thinking about your post for quite a while. Do you remember the freedom convoy in Canada? For a long time it looked as if the protesters had the upper hand, but it changed all of a sudden when the 'financial sovereignty' of protesters and supporters was taken away by the government.
I think it is way to easy nowadays to identify, isolate and punish violent protestors. We have to be smarter and be careful not to fall for the temptation of some shortsighted action. It's OK to protest, but violence leads to loosing valuable comrades for the comming 'battle'.
Like the other said in their replies, we need to use modern weapons like encryption and 'marketing' to improve alternatives. Bitcoin needs a foolsafe privacy mode, without complicated utxo-management. This could eventually drain enough power from the system to create a parallel economy, but nothing is granted at this stage.
Stay alive to fight another day, and another, and another, and..
