a 55 percent majority (that does not have a lot of resource needs) burning 90 percent of all resources in ELYSIUM to fully disenfranchise everyone else. And then using the remaining resources to hurt the minority.
If there is an agent that controls 55% of the resources in the universe and are prepared to use 90% of that 55% to kill/destroy everyone else, then assuming that ELYSIUM forbids them to do that, their rational move is to use their resources to prevent ELYSIUM from being built.
And since they control 55% of the resources in the universe and are prepared to use 90% of that 55% to kill/destroy everyone who was trying to actually create ELYSIUM, they would likely succeed and ELYSIUM wouldn’t happen.
