Hi FarCue,
I realized in hindsight that not very many people have read the thesis yet, and at face value I can understand your concern. I would encourage you to read it as the grounded theory establishment of the thesis will allay your concerns fully far better than I ever could.
The #SOFTWAR thesis does not frame #Bitcoin as an aggressive weapon, but rather a sovereign mechanism for dramatically increasing the cost of attack on sovereign citizens, nation states, and countries.
This is a VERY important point. Because I think your genuine concern that if the thesis was framing Bitcoin as a weapon, that it would be counterproductive and certainly dangerous.
If you cannot obtain a copy to read, I've found this talk that Lowery gave back on Jan 12th of this year very useful as a high level explanation of what the thesis represents:
