Quite right. I wasn't clear. Twice.

The ruling class will take out the truth-seekers first. That's us. While everyone will die eventually, I'm in no hurry, nor am I afraid. I just don't want to suffer or be cut short from whatever good I can do. Still I suppose one could add a little self preservation as a weak reason if you needed one.

There are countless other reasons why it would be better if the ruling class set their targets on the sheeple first.

There's zero reason to believe they would spare us for any reason and we'll either be hunted first or just rounded up with random sheeple or most likely a bit of both.

When the sheeple masses notice some of the other sheeple dying many of them might actually wake up - and they'll need us to explain WTF. They'll also need to know how to revolt, DIY, be self sufficient, self reliant, self sustaining, and decentralized. The sheeple will need historical context and broader understanding of alternatives and solutions.

Presently the brainwashed sheeple are like the crowds in Invasion Of The Body Snatchers shrieking if you don't wear a mask and obey the evil overlords. I'm sympathetic in that I was once a sheeple, but at this critical time they are in the way of legit reform and freedom. Those are the pawns we're fighting for, but I won't miss most of them if and when they fall.

I could go on, but this is already tedious.
