    Meh. When you’re expecting to have to defend against an army battalion, how much of a thread is Darrell the flat-earther and his AR-15?

    Because if Darrell is doing damage, you’ve been conquered and didn’t even noticed.

      In this analogy Darrell fires an ICBM, because everyone has access to a ton of those for $20/mo.

      The overall point is that doing (what used to be) the bare minimum is no longer even close to enough. To be considered adequate, you need super ironclad defense, because even low skilled attackers have access to very powerful weapons.

        You said so yourself, everyone has a ton of those.

        Darrell is firing an ICBM at a place that is being hit with hypersonic hydrogen bombs all the time. Either he’s hitting rubble, or a damn impressive defense that he’s unlikely to break.
