If you’re living in a plywood shack, but still have a phone with data, some games to play, ebt / food bank to eat, you’re not about to pick up arms.
I don’t think taking up arms is an option in most countries because of the lack of availability.

No. Who’s on first.
It might be done for a variety of reasons.
You can give the character more depth, humanize yhem, or make them a more relatable by showing how they deal with loss.
You can show the villian losing their last shred of humanity or sanity and raise the stakes. The villian’s goal may shift from robbing banks to destroying the city.
You have a reason for the villian to attack the hero directly instead of fighting the hero when he shows up to ruin the villian’s plan
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
The last time I went on a date, she asked me to pay for her rent because she lost her wallet. There was not a second date and I don’t want to meet any more people like that.
I reject the idea that the American Dream has become working your ass off for the chance to become a millionaire. No one dreams of working themselves to death. There are a lot of people who have a perverted and cynical view of the American Dream, and at least as many who will claim that the American Dream is dead. In my view, what people perceive to be the American Dream varies wildly from person to person. At the end of the day, I think you have to decide what the American Dream means to you.
I don’t think we even understand the impact quantum computing will have on science over the next 100 years, much less what new discoveries we may make in the next 1,000 or 10,000 years. Also, I don’t think interstellar travel will necessarily look like what you think it will look like. We might not be flying huge man-made ships through space, but asteroids, or planets, or solar systems instead.
Why? It wasn’t much of a plan.
Is there a good way to choose a smaller instance?
I think the shovel analogy works against you and the point you are trying to make. The shovel is just a thing. The guy who created it and the people who use shovels to dig ditches bear no responsibility for the murders committed with shovels.
The company I work at got some bad steel recently, and it is a huge problem.
Car brands like Jaguar used to be among the worst in reliability. I don’t know if that still holds true or if your employer would have anything in common with them.
Cars from the Japanese automotive manufacturers had better initial quality as well as better reliability. Panels and trim fit tighter, etc.
All the expensive lightweight backpacking equipment has always seemed like a racket to me.
“crop dusting plane component”?
L3 is hanging bombs from crop dusters these days, so that’s not far off the mark, tbh
Why do people uniform themselves and with something like a brand to commit treason?
The problem isn’t lack of regulation. The problem is the people writing the regulations. The banking and financial industries have the same problem.
“Pa$$w0rd!” if you need a special symbol
Same difference. No one is willing to start a fight with people who are well-equipped with arms and actual weapons when all they have are torches and pitchforks.
