The context here was that most people would be perfectly content with CBDC's. In that world Bitcoin isn't an imminent existential threat to the state and we are a small minority (bigger than the Amish*, but still small).

They would be willing to invest more in bringing us to heel, than with the Amish*, but the point is that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. If we can make it not worth their while, they will leave us alone and pretend we don't exist.

If we're in this other scenario, where people are drawn to Bitcoin, because they realize the state is horrible, then it is a fight for survival. In that case I agree with your assessment.
