Handle what? (What specifics?)
How are they "better protected"? (They don't even have any "Cassiopaea Crystals".)
I think that 'handle' in this context mainly means that we should not get involved, that it is better to let them manage and navigaten their own situations as they arise.
Better protected in this case means, I think, to them having a lot of followers and a very big audience. Thus, killing them could create a counterproductive effect. People like Tucker and Candace probably also have quite capable security professionals guarding them, so attacking them, although being entirely 'doable', could get unnecessarily messy with an uncertain outcome. I think that the STS evildoers are lazy and 'comfy' in the sense that they'd rather avoid any extra hassle. That might change, though, if they get desperate enough.
But targeting and maybe killing individuals that the masses never heard about (say, a lone 'truth warrior' on X, or a rather unknown scientis) is fun and games for them, entertainment with minimal repercussions that they eagerly engage in. A little visibility is good, though, as it will warn and scare other individuals with such 'pesky personalities'.
In any case, tons of people out there all over the world on all sorts of platforms are not going to just suddenly stop talking about that tiny slice of land in the Middle East — are they all going to "go to gulag"?
Just my guess, but I think it could become a 'shooting gallery' in which us pesky individuals are targeted semi-randomly to set an example. With enough resistance fighters getting either killed physically or reputationally destroyed by e.g. planting child pornography on their laptops, the others will fall in line. And, we don't want any of us here becoming one of those targets for their 'practice shooting'.
