That’s the spirit.
Tbh, I learned they shut up faster lately.
Some boomer tried to shame me for using public transit, which employed him. Shut up when I pointed out I’d never been paid a living wage my entire life, which made maintaining a car hard whether you knew how to change the oil or not.
Had a nice conversation about local geology after that. Fancy that.
Learning more and more that maga folks expect to be cuffed once to know respect, and twice for love, then once a year after that for measure. Something about sense of consequence. But also I’m recomending mace+ to all minorities(more backlash from some some biggotkuks.).
Anyway, again, basic bullyback, right? Learning late. Might pick up artofwar for seasoning. (sabo manual is already on the rounds, right?)

Art of war is incredibly basic, things like ‘try to outnumber the enemy!’ ‘Don’t telegraph everything!’ ‘Circumstances can be advantageous or disadvantageous; pick the first one when you can!’. Read Clausewitz, either Mao or Lawrence, and something modern; I like Boyd but I’m a systems pervert.

Been a long-ass time since i touched any of this, and it all kinds bleeds together, but from very rough blurry memory:
Clausewitz is… Okay so I found him incredibly hard to read because i kept wishing I had a chance to go back in time and kick him in the dick, maybe when he was too old to chase me very far after, but basically about how conflict is about more than just killing dudes, and killing dudes is a means rather than an end.
Mao talks about fighting bigger foes and some on the role of the (non-fighting) people in war. How a force sustains itself in nontraditional circumstances.
Boyd is late 20th century american imperial air force; an information/attention guy. The OODA loop guy. Relevant in modern deeply bullshit war. There are other options, but like i said: I’m a systems pervert.
Lawrence covers some (but not all) of the ground of the last two from a more romantic and heroic perspective. And also is a better writer than Mao or whoever put together Boyd’s stuff.
