Another summary:

Now it sounds like you're saying: "The mainstream power got it going so well, that no matter what we do - we're screwed. Thus, we should do absolutely nothing, keep a maximally low profile, et c."
Corrections are, as always, wellcome.

On another note, please don't let risks that you belive apply to the rest of us stop YOU from doing something good. Aspecially since you can see that anyone who bothered to answer so far was of an oppinion opposed to yours, and did NOT see these risks as anything more than far-fetched and hypothetical, and your stance as anything other than a man's crudely veiled defence of his right to follow the path of least resistance.
