Their hero is beyond criticism and they will defend their “guy” at all costs. Here’s some advice to you: Don’t have heroes.

(FB 1550460544 Timestamp) CAN IT BE DONE? —“…can be done?”— I”m positive. But that’s because we can unite people behind law and policy not ideology, philosophy, or religion, giving everyone a win but no one a monopoly. All win and nobody loses. Because People follow incentives. People online have an incentive to signal. Online is a video game of signaling – not the political market. Policy will unite the clans so to speak out of common interest. Because common interest in progress is better than defeat in pursuit of monopoly

(FB 1550448812 Timestamp) CLARITY (a) only individuals act (b) only groups conspire (c) whether individuals or groups act against the interests of the commons, it is still a collection of individuals, since even groups consist of individuals. (d) organizations demonstrate preference not stated belief or thought. (e) if some organization or affiliation or identity can be identified as problematic it is certainly possible to exit the organization and all people within it as conspirators regardless of stated opinion or belief. CONVERSELY (f) it is very difficult to imagine extracting someone by genome. HOWEVER (g) war is war, so if it escalates from tort (court) to combat (war) then the law no longer applies. THEREFORE I have said repeatedly, fix the law the good will stay the bad will leave, and organizations that are hostile will be shuttered.

(FB 1550433458 Timestamp) GENERATIONS OF WARFARE The concept of four “generations” in the history of modern warfare was created by a team of United States analysts, including William S. Lind, for the purpose of an argument for “the changing face of war” entering into a “fourth generation”.
- First-generation warfare refers to Ancient and Post-classical battles fought with massed manpower, using line and column tactics with uniformed soldiers governed by the state.
Second-generation warfare is the Early modern tactics used after the invention of the rifled musket and breech-loading weapons and continuing through the development of the machine gun and indirect fire. The term second generation warfare was created by the U.S. military in 1989.
Third-generation warfare focuses on using Late modern technology-derived tactics of leveraging speed, stealth and surprise to bypass the enemy’s lines and collapse their forces from the rear. Essentially, this was the end of linear warfare on a tactical level, with units seeking not simply to meet each other face to face but to outmaneuver each other to gain the greatest advantage.
Fourth-generation warfare as presented by Lind et al. is characterized by “Post-modern” a return to decentralized forms of warfare, blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians due to nation states’ loss of their near-monopoly on combat forces, returning to modes of conflict common in pre-modern times.

And this is why it succeeds. He is forcing responsibility away from the USA and reducing our management of world affairs. He is demonstrating the political and military weakness of parties, eliminating the political cover previously provided by the USA. He is disempowering the ‘deep state’ (particularly the state department) not only in the USA but in europe, and forcing the weak parties to take responsibility, work together, and produce results, or be exposed as illegitimate, purely symbolic, and useless to their polities. His mission is to end USA’s need to carry other’s water in a world where we no longer hold 3/4 of the world economy to pay for it. And it is against the allies interests to take that responsibility and be exposed as illegitimate. The states are now nearly fully autarkic. Time for the world to grow up into adults and take responsibility for reciprocal protection of world patterns of transport, law, finance, and trade. We are still withdrawing the american wing of the british empire, and we will and must continue to. It has no value any longer. It’s a dead weight cost. Iran has chosen to build an empire rather than a state and no one in the region is going to tolerate it. And the only reason it still exists is the ‘hope’ that the regional powers will mature enough to contain it so that we don’t pay the same price to domesticate the middle east in the next decades as we have in the past, or eurasia in those previous, or the colonial world before that.
