Indeed. And how to do it without setting a precedent for more government control of private interactions
I think you're chasing way too much purity Grenade.
Plus, you're too skeptical of these things.
Pardon me if I don't like the idea of pushing the government into things when the problem is already centralized power.
Again thats not the suggestion
There is no suggestion
The point is to get the government out of a as many things as possible since it is an institution controlled by the enemy
that's a bit too far in black or white thinking for me to endorse blackhawk
the other option is to continue to ignore the larger strategic picture
Indeed, think of Google and the CA laws on Political discrimination.
to view ww2 not as a series of campaigns and logistics, but of battles and tactical decisions
if you do that I promise you, you will lose
No, Blackhawk. There's a tactical picture that matter and if you can't win on the battlefield the grandest of strategies doesn't matter.
The left pushed the political discrimination laws in CA, doesn't mean they aren't potentially useful to us.
And a law to the effect of "Banks will not close accounts on political affiliation" seems like it would do alot for this recent case too.
My larger argument is that the government is aside the point anyway.
Using problem laws against their proponents is a good wait to win support of the opposition to remove them. The trick is identifying a successful method of using them.
Then read rules for radicals and apply it universally
Well, laws or policies.
Much like the guys suing Universities for having women's only things without allowing a men's only version
There is a risk of backfiring
risk is inherent in life
If you want it gone get yourself arrested and put in solitary confinement
Of the opposition accepting the result which you didn't want in the first place. Like leftists accepting the loss of women's only programs rather than pushing back against the "attack against women"
No, don't read Rules for Radicals, read *this*
```RULES FOR RADICALS is honestly not very useful for Righties, despite the fact that it’s the only Lefty organizing book of which a lot of Righties have even heard. In the Tea Party heyday, people basically xeroxed Alinsky’s chapter on tactics: you know: “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it,” all that stuff. But if you read the rest of the book, you quickly see the problem: Alinsky had the benefit of lefty Institutions, many of which he didn’t even have to build, and he blithely assumes that you’ve got access to Institutional support the way he did. Dude ran an organizer training school with a full-time fifteen-month curriculum. Yeah, no, not gonna help us Righties right now```https://status451.com/2017/10/27/radical-book-club-the-centralized-left/
Read what?
The link
all of it
someone who doesnt understand how technology provides a route around the instiutions?
I mean, I'm listening to someone who forgets that technologies are built, run and maintained by people. That if you target people the right way, you can get them *and their technologies* to bend your way,.
Remember when the internet was supposed to be a big, un-censorable and uncontrollable decentralized network that would be unable to be controlled?
Twitter seems to be gaining control. And when you can't do that, you hit the financial services. And the Crypto exchanges (yes, that's already happened).
Bending your way is just a question of minimizing internal resistance
WTF does that even mean?
Get people in the companies and nothing else
Manipulate the ever living shit out of them until they do what you want
Tug at their heart strings, unite them in struggle, force them to contribute to the fight
Who? And what are you basing this on?
I don't get where you're getting this from.
I'm saying we need to band people together. The next time there's a James Damore, heads need to roll.
Or he doesn't get fired.
