    THE CHINESE MILITARY STRATEGY, (as popularized by no less than Kissinger) is to follow Sun Tsu’s advice, and incrementally accumulate power under peaceful pretense until the enemy can be easily destroyed, colonized, or ignored. This is why no Chinese words have meaning.

  • USA-Mexico Like Russia-Ukraine-Caucuses, China-Tibet, Iraq-Kuwait Is a Pandora’s Box

    [W]ell, IMO this is the problem: we can’t do this without ourselves breaking the postwar consensus. I mean. We do this then russian and china do this, and iran does this and we eventually have world war three MAYBE, unless we agree with russia and china first on how to manage our spheres. The postwar consensus is over. But if WE are its defenders (police) and WE do it, then it’s really over and then the entire purpose of the postwar consensus – preventing another world war – is finished. IN my opinion graceful transition to balance of powers is going to happen and we are committing suicide by resisting it.

  • … That’s 500% More than Necessary

    October 25th, 2018 1:51 PM USA: 6% HARD RIGHT, 8% HARD LEFT? Well, that means that 10% of the ethnically european population is hard right. That’s more than either the christianization of rome 9%, or the nazis in germany 7% or the Bolsheviks in Russia ~3%. I always thought that the “Democratic” ideal confused people. A society survives by the smallest number of men willing and able to engage in civil war to end it.Usually takes only 1-3% of the male population. There are 500% more than necessary. (And they have 80% of the weapons.)

    REMOVE THE SILLY SPIRITUALITY NONSENSE AND THE POINT IS SOLID.

    If you read the research on the success of the alt/hard right, it is very clear: “the key people put together text and video that explains the subject matter and this education is the reason for their success.”

    In this post, the author is reiterating Mao’s message that ‘education’ is necessary for guerrilla warfare, and the western proposition that it is unnecessary and undesirable in a standing army is a reflection of our dependence upon rule of law and markets rather than authority and managed economy.

    ===

    by Elders of the Black Sun 3 (some kid i don’t knw who)

    “In the United States, we go to considerable trouble to keep soldiers out of politics, and even more to keep politics out of soldiers.

    Guerrillas do exactly the opposite.

    They go to great lengths to make sure that their men are politically educated and thoroughly aware of the issues at stake.

    A trained and disciplined guerrilla is much more than a patriotic peasant, workman, or student armed with an antiquated fowling-piece and a home-made bomb.

    His indoctrination begins even before he is taught to shoot accurately, and it is unceasing.

    The end product is an intensely loyal and politically alert fighting man.

    Guerrilla leaders spend a great deal more time in organization, instruction, agitation, and propaganda work than they do fighting, for their most important job is to win over the people.

    “We must patiently explain,” says Mao Tse-tung.

    “Explain”, “persuade”, “discuss”, “convince”—these words recur with monotonous regularity in many of the early Chinese essays on guerrilla war.

    Mao has aptly compared guerrillas to fish, and the people to the water in which they swim.

    If the political temperature is right, the fish, however few in number, will thrive and proliferate.

    It is therefore the principal concern of all guerrilla leaders to get the water to the right temperature and to keep it there.”

    Brigadier General Samuel B. Griffith, USMC



    “The political goal must be clearly and precisely indicated to inhabitants of guerrilla zones and their national consciousness awakened.” – Mao tse-Tung

    @curtdoolittle @sapinker They’re not arguing for a more informed or more motivated electorate. Their project is to “flip congress blue”. It’s purely partisan. They’re aware that the majority of people too lazy or out of the loop to know how to vote are on their side, and they’re correctly targeting them.

    I mean, there are waaaaaaay more acts of violence against whites by people of color than their are the other way around. Women are the primary beneficiaries of the modernity white men produced. So if it’s no longer in our interests, why not reverse it again?
