      whats most interesting to me about @realchrisrufo is not the object level nor even the absolute extent to which hes managed to shape Discourse by pure force of will and animal cunning but the fact that he managed to do so while being completely open about his strategy and tactics

          three common effects of telling everyone your plan before acting on it: 1. hurts your cause bc plan becomes known to your enemies and they can react accordingly 2. has no effect on your cause 3. helps your cause by coordinating action by allies or overaweing your enemies

          generally i would expect "here are the rhetorical tactics i will use to advance my strategic aims" to be counterproductive because it would give advance warning and because it might lead observers to see you as insincere or manipulative, or leave you open to accusations of such

          i wonder if here the coordination/banner-planting value substantially outweighed this potential cost. and further that costs were not actually that high vs counterfactual because Certain People were going to call him a bad racist regardless of whether he announced his plans

          a further issue is that there might not actually be any effective counter to these tactics at current margins and so announcing them openly is a massive flex on ones opponents and quite demoralizing for them which matters in a preference falsification regime

          one other thought this may work especially or specifically when an opponent has been occupying a bailey for so long theyve don't know how, or that they need, to retreat in the face of a capable assault rufos opponents may have very much overextended themselves in this manner

          really? I feel like this has been done before, and more successfully on the left - alinsky comes to mind, but there are better examples p sure I'm just blanking on specifics. anyway, a good memetovirus should be effective whether you see through it or not
