second protester: drops caltrops, hopefully on a slow-driving road
state: huffs and puffs, but won’t find the person
That wouldn’t be a smart way to play this game. :( As long as civilized protest gets the goods (or has some effect), one should always prefer that. It’s short-sighted to remodel the playing field to make it dangerous.
I hope the sentence will be something ridiculously small, because otherwise state is sending out a signal “you shouldn’t get caught, consider real sabotage instead of civilized protest”.
Since we’re talking game theory, a basic rule in any competitive game (from chess to League of Legends) is that focusing on loss prevention is a losing tactic.
We’ve been doing peaceful protest since the beginning of the environmental movement. It’s not getting the goods and the earth is dying. What we need it’s a diversity of tactics.
