Sometimes they will act if they fear for their moneys.

With that said it bothers me that they will always look to strike a deal with the more pacifist/less disruptive parts of a movement in order to neutralise the threat.

Which in theory means it's useless to actually aim for a reasonable goal but rather you need to overshoot by a fair bit in order for the deal to land anywhere near what you believe is decent.

BUT when you overshoot you come across as disillusioned and a lot of people will distance from you, making any movement impossible.
