    Rule of thumb when it comes to combating conflict is to be as minimalist as possible. There have been conquests in history that occurred without a single drop of blood shed, surely that’s not beyond modern rebels. The first people to go extreme lengths come off as needy, if you know what I mean.

    • True, but it’s not something you should completely shy away from, either.

      “Speak softly and carry a big stick” isn’t just advice for international diplomacy.

        But you don’t carry a big stick. We gave those sticks away for safekeeping and the thief now owns the safe.

        The only stick we have is numbers and these numbers are a pain to gather and organize so let’s get to it. When we show people that they will have a chance fighting these fucks we will get the support.

        Right now elon and Alice seem like the only option. We need to show them differently.
