Communism is a stateless, classless and moneyless society. Of course there need to be structures in place to ensure it stays that way, because having a powerful few would have reintroduced classes. Thats why you need stable, democratic governance, for example federated councils or something similar.

most people rather tune out 'the noise' and live their lives being blissfully ignorant

I'd argue that's not an intrinsic feature of humans, but the result of capitalist alienation. On the one hand, the individual has very little chance to participate in the decision making process, and people are overworked so they barely have the energy or time to do so, even if they wanted to

That's an oversimplification. Skilled archers, especially in numbers, are a force to be reckoned with. For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Agincourt

Or think of horse archers. The mongols used them to great effect, and the Romans lost 7 legions against them, despite their testudo supposedly being next to invincible against projectiles

Volleys do have their place, but mostly as a way to open the battle, and at long range. You are correct that that can often be used to provide breathing room for troop movement. However, once the fighting starts, archers usually start picking individual targets and fire at will

We'll, it's commonly said that the average ejaculation is about a tablespoon, so that would be 16 to a cup

Just need a supply train of camels to keep your archers stocked

Proton is just a compatibility layer, not a virtual machine or emulator. So while the specifics vary from game to game, in general, performance is comparable. In my experience it's just as stable and often faster than on windows (at least on AMD GPUs. But Nvidia has gotten better as well)

Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS

I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I'm juggling a lot of windows

Because if it didn't, we wouldn't be here having this discussion

What would you even run on that beast?

I got a frankensteined mini PC with an old 2-core CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM and 24TB HDD +500GB SSD(cache), running my entire homelab (HAss, Jellyfin+arr suite, Adguard-home, ..), works really well. Recently put an old 1060GTX GPU in there, when my flatmate upgraded her PC. I really don't see why I would need more (unless I planned to run LLMs in any reasonable fashion)
