I mean that while in principle members of a society obey a tyrant individually and one at a time, the obedience by the owner of two powerful, influential companies is a quantitative shift on the scales of power which adds much more weight to the side that is obeying so that it becomes an alteration of that society.

I mean that while in principle members of a society obey a tyrant individually and one at a time, the obedience by the owner of two powerful, influential companies is a quantitative shift on the scales of power which adds much more weight to the side that is obeying so that it becomes an alteration of that society. Non-violent resistance is a matter of arithmetic. The number of non-violent resisters must be or represent a number of people higher than the number of people enforcing obedience times the force multipliers at the disposal of those enforcers. Either resisters must be shown that resistance is futile, or enforcers of obedience must be shown that enforcement of obedience is futile.

Makes a lot of sense. Mathematics and physics.
