Hypothetical situation, but imagine that you yourself are in it:
In 2020, Robot Overlords take over the world. Human governments are deposed and the human population culled by 95%. Robots rule the world now.
The humans still remain, but they're few in number, and massively outgunned by the robots.
The robots have done a logic calculation and they've calculated that the COST(ELIMINATE) is greater than COST(TOLERATE).
That is to say, its a waste of their resources to wipe out what remains of the human race. Humans are irritating, but not enough to justify the cost.
You're one of the remaining humans, and there are three broad factions of humans:
REBELS - The war isn't over, as far as they're concerned, and they want to see the robots beaten, and Earth reclaimed for humanity.
PRAGMATISTS - Human survival is their priority, and they argue that if the robots assess that humans are irritating enough to be worth the cost of eliminating, then that's what the robots will do. The only way to survive is to actively suppress the rebellion.
ORDINARY JOES - The rebel vs pragmatist conflict doesn't interest them. They're making the best of the current situation, and living their lives, without actively helping or hindering the rebels.
Which faction do you associate yourself with, and why?
On a semi-related question, how old are you in real life, and what is your current politics?
