  Ok. I try to take control. Who stops me?

    Everybody, anybody?

    How do you think you're going to magically take control? You'll just rock up to a community and say "I'm your leader now muahaha"?

      Well I’d start by taking people’s stuff. Then I’d say, “hey, I’ll give you some of your stuff back if you help me go take that guy’s things and give me half”. Then I’d proceed in this fashion until I have a group of people who can take whatever they want. Then I’d be able to start ordering people to do things.

      If at any point anyone tells me “hey you can’t do that” then I’d just get a group of people to hurt or kill them.

      They would then get together a group of people to try and stop me.

      Then the rest of people would start to pick sides aaaaand ah fuck we have a rudimentary government. And war and social stratification.

        So you'd start off by getting shot? Or do you think people are just going to give you their stuff?

        Problem solved.
