    one advantage of encouraging your followers to prep and horde is you have a militia with it’s own logistical network built in for independent operations lasting at least a short duration. mostly it will be the stronger/more violent groups seize supplies from the weaker ones, but they don’t rely on a global supply chain like the business faction. so they would have to do shock/awe and hope they make defect a sizeable chunk of locally deployed military personnel. police alone overwhelmingly joining them would give them weeks of free reign even if the military stuck with the status quo or business faction
