Consider the seemingly whack-a-mole game between protesters and the police. The police shut down one location, and clever protesters organize elsewhere, or find some other way of protesting. Unless the police create a society with literally no freedom, they can't stop the protests. Or can they?
(Let's assume the powerful are unwilling to address the underlying cause for which the protests are the symptom.)
Consider it a problem of military strategy. The enemy is very agile opponent, but you have more firepower. Each side has constraints -- the political landscape -- it needs to work within. This "unbalanced" problem "in abstract" has been intensely studied for thousands of years in military strategy.
