peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2with or without their consent / by consent or by force Explanation: It's a set phrase: "de grado o por fuerza 1. loc. adv. Voluntaria o forzadamente." http://dle.rae.es/?id=JOxCcBX|JOxOtbx Common traslations are "willy-nilly", "like it or not", "willingly or unwillilngly", but I don't think any of these work here, because in this sentence structure they would apply, by implication, to the "subversivos", whereas the expression refers to the population they control. You might say "whether they like it or not", but I still don't feel it really works. So I would suggest one of these expressions. There are other possibilities. |
