If you're publishing on your own website instead of a social media platform, your new Kings are your domain registrar, registry operator and ultimately ICAN itself, your hosting provider, Let's Encrypt, all the email providers you need to be able to deliver to (notably Microsoft and Google), and probably also your payments provider.

Put another way: There are many minority populations throughout history and up to this very day that have managed to carve out a niche in their host population without necessarily employing mass violence to do it.
But really politics is just about "one person causes another to act". This can be through persuasion. It doesn't have to be force (or fraud for that matter).
EDIT: Also I consider economics, politics and marketing as basically "mass psychology". Hence all the problems with replication in those fields.

Persuasion can be divided into carrot and stick. The stick the implication of force against the individual and the carrot the promise of the ability to use force against other actors. This can be further expanded to negative force inherent from a relatively worse off position for not taking the carrot.
With some creativity all behavior can be formulated from a few simple primitives.
