You're getting a lot of the usual talking points back. People assume you're stupid if ask questions like this, and you get the equivalent of someone speaking louder and slower when they realize someone doesn't speak english.

Anyway, I can see the point that something equally or more disruptive will happen, so, whatever. As others have pointed out, we're all indirectly very bought in to the current equilibrium, even more so those in power. There's always resistance to change, and so I'd say it's that that people are against, rather than the end state. (And of course it's been turned into a big political power grab, so it's in everyone's interests for you to belive either it's the worst threat we face or it's not happening at all and we can ignore it).

I'd genuinely tried to answer the question. If this came across this way, I'd love some feedback so I can not come across this way in the future.
