Consensus is the only reality. Anything that goes against consensus is going against reality, and will fail. Power has no ability to change consensus, therefore it cannot change reality. It can only distort it until failure occurs, when reality will reassert itself. Reality only changes when consensus changes. Inflicting power onto unwilling people is not changing reality. It is only an action that will cause an equal opposite reaction. Consensus will prevail. When people learn they have agency, artificially imposed power is defeated, overtly with changed laws or covertly in underground markets.
