Soldiers on the fiat side will fight by compulsion... soldiers on Bitcoin's side will fight by their own volition. Who's going to win? Might I suggest you have a peek at Afghanistan.... hmmmm?
That may not be completely true. If a government has strong propaganda and censorship then their citizens might believe that it's those "bitcoiners" that have made them poor, it's the "bitcoiners" that are murdering mother Gia and causing all the climate change. I imagine there's a lot a corrupt government could do to convince its people to believe the wrong things.

Valid point. Especially in today's day-and-age. However, ultimately I have faith the truth will prevail. It will become increasingly difficult to prevent the flow of information from either side, and those disaffected will either become neutral or switch sides. If true, this advantages the Bitcoin Soldiers, and not the Fiat Fappers.
Maybe it's a hard cope... ? I don't know...

No, it's a good point. Hopefully truth does prevail - seems more likely now than ages past. Sadly, though, China makes me nervous that info can be controlled. Thankfully we have stuff like Nostr - that gives me some hope.
