That has been the fascists' standard operating procedure ever since the #ThirdReich, as artfully described in #MartinNiemöller's poem #FirstTheyCame:

It is not original thinking, though. The great military strategist, #SunTzu postulated in his principle of #Subversion thousands of years ago:

"5. SPREAD DISUNITY AND DiSPUTE AMONG THE CITIZENS;" (#TheArtOfWar).)

#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 16/

In his capacity as general, Pericles was famous above all things for his saving caution; he neither undertook of his own accord a battle involving much uncertainty or peril, nor did he envy and imitate those who took great risks, enjoyed brilliant good-fortune, and so were admired as great generals; and he was for ever saying to his fellow-citizens that, so far as lay in his power, they would remain alive forever and be immortals.

[Section 18]

@Radical_EgoCom I’ve shared my thoughts not to argue, but to clarify. I know not everyone will agree, and that’s fine.

For those who believe peace is possible—and that it’s the strongest path forward—I hope this offered something valuable. (12/12)

@Radical_EgoCom ‘You twisted Sun Tzu’s quote to fit your pacifist narrative.’

I never claimed Sun Tzu was a pacifist. He was a strategist. His teachings guided me toward pacifism—not as surrender, but as a way to avoid pointless conflict and win through control. (4/12)

@Radical_EgoCom I’d like to address some points raised about my earlier post. While I don’t expect agreement, I believe these ideas deserve thoughtful exploration.

I’ll respond to each point in turn to clarify my position—and share why I believe peace is not just possible, but the strongest strategy. (1/12)
