So you’re painting them as vicious, but hypocritical and weak, sharks.

Can’t say I disagree.

The first and only noteworthy feature of satanism is that it’s all lies.

This styx character does not appear trustworthy. No good reason to watch these sorts of videos.

Why do you think they are so afraid of him.

I have that feeling again. The feeling that makes me want to move with the times. Like I’m in with the “In” crowd and that I want to go where the In crowd goes.

That’s true, very true. But he does use their same tactics. Such as making fun of them. I believe those same tactics can be used with the truth, although that’s not how they were originally intended.

Good point, I’m going to reread the points, with that in mind. Trump I believe is even more brilliant than I originally thought.

I would think rules 4 through 13 could work very well using the truth. Knowing that the other side is not using it at all. I think Trump has done an outstanding job using it against them. And thanks for the new perspective.

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

“his Christian values”

That most certainly wasn’t the case in years gone by, hope it’s becoming so now.

You make good points.

But I must say, it seems to me none of his tactics are original. That is, all have been present throughout man’s history. Alinsky merely organized them in a certain way.
