Question

What does this means? (Long way down novel)

This could mean to cooperate with someone or crash. When you cause problems with the people around you, things won’t go your way. Those people end up turning against you, and everything crashes.

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe it means, you can either join someone and work with them and "get down with them" so do things with them, or get beaten by them and be "crushed" by them. Similar to the saying if you can't beat them, join them. Just a bit different meaning pick to join them or get beaten by them.
