What goes around will come around, eventually. I believe that Dirk's philosophy is based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave:

And I think that, unlike the story, he will not succeed in being able to just take people out of the cave unscathed. Dirk has already kind of taken 2 people out of the cave and irreversibly changed them (turned them into robots) what I don't think he's expecting are the ones he left behind in the cave to come after him (Meat Crew) or for them to journey out of the cave on their own volition without his input (Candy Kids)

In the original story, the people see what has become of those who leave the cave and thus they return to their old world in fear of that happening to them, but I don't see the Meat crew cowering in fear of Dirk even with Ultimate Self bullshit powers. I think they are super ready and willing to face off against him despite all the odds being massively stacked against them. The Strilondes always seem to think they know everything about their friends, but I think that's just not true. Their friends are much more capable of free will and thought then they could ever imagine, and the hold they have over them will loosen little by little as the power of narrative control becomes weak in Dirk's hands.

Sometimes, Stories will take a life of their own and I think that Dirk will not be able to control things like he has so far once newer characters pop up and he has to deal with people he's never met before.
