if there was a mighty other people among us that lived from and not for the people a nuclear war was no option anymore, because they would be up for loot, and total destruction was only a bluff.
Loosing their power to humans with good character by fair trade and good competition is as bad as loosing their wealth to another thieve for them, but getting more in an ever more complex world is also getting more difficult.
In the Mid-Ages they used fake knight armour and badly copied signs like flags to trick themselves into a village or town or castle to then murder the local residents, but fake armour is also weaker, a fake symbol can be spotted and the villagers well can trap someone already ill and sick with no intention of a bath to do with them what the striding horde had in mind.
Today's weapons are ABCP. Atomic, which is also the nuclear arsenal, biologic which might be the origine of the Covid-19 epedemic considering that in Wuhan a Gain of Function lab was operating for the US government bodies, but well can be just realy dark humor of God, Chemical which was excessivly used by the Nazis and has still use by Anti-Riot Police in way softer means, and Propaganda which become the least sharp weapon by an all connected digital world.
Most conflicts are Atomic, Small Arms are an atomic weapon, because the proppellant of a gun is driving out a projectile by an atomic reaction called explosion. Nuclear reactions of atomic cores are one step too big for their intended purpose.
Gas is difficult to control and six millions Jews being ported with suitcases in Sunday clothing to the required chambers all on photographicly documenting pictures made sure someone will have a way harder time to have any main group leave the cars behind over trains.
But, that Virus... Labs full of other Virus are an option for all those that understand that population growth, information spreading like Virus based on the same laws among humans and an ever more complex system of human interaction in a more and more conneting global world will end their rule by to many to control in a too difficult to understand world wide system. That's those that say Lagos, Jakarta, Bankok and even HongKong suffer from overpopulation and not lack better planning and coordination organising the life in the megacity and that will control every single one instead of predicting and understanding possible threats searching focused on defined parameters.
They also won't believe that Virus will make healthy humans in a save environment fitter for the environment especially without medication hindering the human bodysystem altering effect. Vaccine campaignes are only needed, because it is easier in our global system to get a set of needles to the poor than good food, clothes and a fine matress.
Currently, there is a change that all mutating Covid and a vaccination campaigne of a substance designed to alter cells given parallel to a classic vaccination campaigne created a mutation of the new substance vaccine and the classic vaccine. An unknwon new respiratory desease is spreading currently. Considering that a Virus in a Gain of Function lab is basically stored in a plastic box in a fridge and that your character and moral to hire into that job description of creating the B in ABC weapons of mass destruction is doubtful at best, it might not even need a Führer Order, which is as a matter of fact missing as a document, to create even a set of simultaniously spreading Virus creating ground for .... the worst version of a dystopia cyberpunk shadowrun society.
Brothers in faith, if Gangsters Paradise was hell of a fight, we now have to prove all about owning our stove with still an all nuclear arsenal all around.
PayDay is coming. System failure. No one is taken alive
