It's gonna be another "Ok, you guys have worked hard enough for today. Go home and we'll finish counting."
Our boy Larry The Egged is going to come out of the gate real strong, but somewhere between the hours of 10PM and 4AM PST, statistically impossible but miraculous discontinuities will manifest in Tupac Fanboi's tally.
If anyone manages to get a hold of the data, we'll be treated to a lovely side of Benford's Law irregularities so massive that they'll put Iran and North Korea to shame.
Anyone have any white pills for me?
Take it from someone who was an occupying force in a foreign country battling an insurgency with foregin support, and attempting to prop-up a government with no legitimacy.
Losing the election is still a white pill if you do it right. Let them fraud. If I were the Republicans, my number one priority would not to be to win the recall, but to document criminal misconduct and start putting people in jail.
They've been making a lot of very stupid mistakes. Your number one priority is to increase government de-legitimacy so that people become comfortable and normalized to entirely ignoring them. You must normalize defiance.
Catch a few voting fraudsters in the act, have them arrested and convicted with some friendly judges. Even if it gets overturned, you need the evidence to be out in the open to prove how illegitimate the government is.
You can't establish government legitimacy at the point of a gun. Personal experience. All it takes is for someone to look down the barrel of your gun, know that you won't shoot them, and say "fuck you, do whatever." You can't force people into accepting you as legitimate. Even terror as legitimacy has diminishing returns.
The primary objective right now is to intentionally promote, not fear or anger, but open disrespect and defiance of the establishment. Humor is extremely dangerous, but apathy is the worst to a tyranny. Promoting the criminality and incompetence of the establishment and de-legitimizing them is effectively a soft-coup that they are unlikely to recover from. Worse, the authoritarian response will be to double down (as we've seen with Biden's vax mandates) which will only promote more animosity and more deligimitization as normal.
Every. Single. Step. that promotes seperation and the building of anti-parallel institutions is a victory. Do not fight for possessed institutions, let them die, and build over or through them. If you accidentally seize them, purge them of Leftists. But, the death of those institutions starts with delegitimization.
The biggest reason many troop commanders on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan were concerned about civilian casualties is because it could instantaneously reverse legitimacy for whole regions that had taken years to build up. You're only a bridge builder when you've built 100 bridges. But you suck one cock and suddenly your a cocksucker. You kill one baby, and suddenly you're a baby killer.
That must be the primary avenue of attack: immediate delegitimazation, followed by defiance, followed by civil disobedience; all while we build anti-parallel institutions to prepare for the retaliation, which only feeds the delegitimization narrative.
People need to be conditioned to respond with "Eat shit and die" when Biden/Newsom says "Show some respect".
Beyond that, capturing military and police forces is a seriously missing strategy on the right. Every right wing government should be doing everything in it's power to steal cops from Leftist governments and forcibly expand the jurisdiction of your policing forces (the way that Trump deputized the Portland Police, but more aggressive). They State governments should start expanding their state militias or PMC's within their state jurisdictions to embrace disaffected military personnel. (Just be careful not to make it too obvious).
There won't be a war, there will be a cascade failure. A total collapse of the world order is coming and nobody is going to stop it.
Makes you wonder if the astronomical civilian casualties of Obama's drone strikes were all that accidental after all.
Put it like this:
When autists on Reddit bought shitloads of Gamestop stocks, the government cared, broke the law, then changed the law, then blackmailed a company into violating it's own contracts with it's consumers. They did it within 24-72 hours.
When the stock-market shuttered in 2020 after Covid started scaring the shit out of governments internationally, the largest investment banks on Earth got over 3 trillion dollars in loans. Again, less than a week. No congressional over-sight. Not even a directive from Trump.
How long did it take you to get a "stimulus check"?
How long did it take for Obama to stop blasting kids?
If the government didn't respond, then it didn't fucking care.
Amen reverend.
That's pretty much my opinion as well. Running a super comes game where one slip up means you lose, just means you are going to lose. Trying to force it, makes it obvious you're weak.
