That’s VERY encouraging. Wonder what the military means when they say not everything will be clean. Casualties?

Any common meaning for that phrase in the military?

Seen on Gab:

Lesson in Counterinsurgency Operations on Social Media:

One common and effective tactic used to divide this movement against itself, is to utilize a seemingly innocent third party in order to antagonize popular people into a game of “he said, she said”.

It works like this:

I ask you something about someone for the sole purpose of getting an off-hand negative response, the question will frame this as to be unavoidable. Then I use that negative response in order to provoke a reaction from party B. Party B, assuming itself wrongly maligned, will defend itself by attacking Party A, who has no interest in any negative engagement whatsoever. All the while, the third party, who orchestrated the chaos to begin with, remains unnoticed, a seemingly anonymous bystander to the event.

The more popular an account, the more effective this technique becomes. And it is incredibly destructive to the morale of people on all sides.

It relies only on personal ego, and should be something you learn to recognize because it is constantly being wielded against this movement. Never engage with attacking your own, enough ground has been lost this way.
Stay United.

Melian; “Not everyting will be clean.”

No military speak here. There is an expectation that once implemented there will be resistance and at some point violence. So probably casualties.
