The enemy works by undermining anything concrete: leaders, messages, endpoints. So the only way to defeat the enemy is to make THEM the story. And imitate trump by making the enemy defend the fact that you’ve made them the story. Trying to get cheap attention serves the enemy.

This is why I generally don’t interact with the right because nazis, white nationalists, fundamentalists, and even civnats, are successfully factionalized and made weak by the fact that they provide the enemy the target that they need, making the reactionary the enemy: suckers.

And that brand must be nothing more concrete that righting an injustice by defeating the existential threat of an enemy. That will unify people. So you want an abstract symbol brand to claim victory on without an endpoint that creates division. Converge power.

There is no endpoint message that will sell other than victories. And there are no victories that allow the accumulation of power without a brand under which associate with those victories, and an organization that manages that brand.

So every faction needs to stop playing the loser’s game of selling an endpoint, and instead, selling and accumulating small but increasing victories that talk about how evil the concrete existential enemy and threat is, and not causing division over unknowable unachievable ends.

The group that doesn’t tell stories, but accumulates victories by defeating the enemy, will accumulate resources victories and legitimacy necessary to influence the endpoint. And no project plan so to speak survives its implementation.

In other words, you’re subconsciously still liberals, trying to win a political game with cheap political attention with cheap stories that have worked only under a European time window that no longer exists. The unifying message is defeating the enemy, not the divisive endpoint.

You are, and all of you as factions, stuck in the fantasy role-playing game of unconsciously trying to sell an endpoint rather than selling a sequence of victories that accumulate resources (men) who have a common real interest in victories but uncommon fantasies of endpoints.

Generals don’t fight wars with the men, weapons, supply lines, resources, strategy&tactics they prefer. They fight wars with what they have. As such the winners of all wars are those not that choose endpoints, but that choose the accumulation of resources to CHOOSE the endpoint.

As I’ve said before to you, and I’ve said before to all groups on the right – wanting an endpoint is fantasy storytelling without an operational means of bringing it into being with the resources at your disposal. Both The enemy and the factions deprive you of resources (men).
