Certainly! First I'll effort for years towards a cohesive (yet under-developed) strategy, then I'll reveal it to internet strangers on a whim for them to murder (like a helpless infant in a crib) that their ego might be stoked and their blackpill bias further confirmed, then I'll cry and give up trying altogether in frustration eventually coming to believe that there is no solution, only to later have my adversaries discover my half-baked plan/words later (being posted on the internet) giving them a chance to develop counter-measures, only to eventually succumb to their doxxing/neutralizing efforts.

That's a lot of words for saying you haven't ever studied historical examples of fight against oppression. I take it for granted you despise the American revolution, all revolutions for independence in Latin America and post-colonial countries, and the struggle of native americans against European colonizers?

Oof, you're right... I wasn't expecting an ad-hominem attack! With my plan defeated, I Now I will go cry in the corner... it's all going according to plan!

You don't know what ad-hominem is. I've criticised your lack of knowledge of revolution processes, not called you a dummie.

Yep, maybe I should just give up trying... if I can't distinguish "an internet stranger telling me what I despise" or "lumping me into a straw-man group" from an ad-hominem attack, then it would turn out just like that last historic revolution you mentioned which employed state-actors controlling and subverting the populace with AI-powered internet robots.

You're still not answering my claim about historical revolutions. Care to address that part?

You know, Magnus Carlsen writes entire textbooks on chess strategy and still manages to win virtually every game he plays.

Here's a hint:

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
