Fighting back against the far left can be fun
American Thinker ^ | 23 Feb, 2023 | D. Parker

Cultural guerrilla warfare means that the freedom community uses its extensive advantages against the disadvantages of the anti-freedom far-left.

The basics start with making it fun for several reasons — beginning with being a happy warrior, and sometimes because you'll just have to laugh, or you'll cry. But there are other reasons as well, mainly because it will tick off the fascists of the far left to no end, given they have the false impression of themselves having a lock on humor.

What is even funnier is that we are directly using several of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" against them, as suggested by the book Rules for Anti-Radicals:

RULE 3: "Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat."

...and...

RULE 6: "A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic."

Think about it this way: at this point, the far left is all tied up in contradictions, trying not to "offend" anyone. Humor is usually about skewering society's "sacred cows," but these days, just about everything is a sacred cow, so they can't laugh or have fun.

Having fun is outside their experience. Did it seem as though the empire in Star Wars or the National Socialist German Workers' Party was having any fun? That noise you just heard was them losing their cookies at the fact that we're not ignoring their ongoing attempt at constantly rewriting history. They just cannot deal with the fact that we see through their Big Lie bluff.

Besides, everything for them is based on the latest "serious crisis," so they can't let their guard down for a moment

Mockery can be a powerful weapon. Most people don’t like being mocked, especially when it is true.

I can dig it. If we win everything in ‘24 WE’RE ALL gonna have to explain exactly WHY we won EVERYTHING. They’ll be in the process of going crazy and I’ll be very stern in my responses and I’ll tell them to come to me every time they’re angry. I’m looking forward to it.

Keep your humor basic because you will be dealing with people who have extremely low IQs and their power of understanding is minuscule.

Saul Alinsky was a tool of Satan and did not understand power or ridicule. Sadly, Satan knows power ten times more than every man and ridicule is just one of his millions of tricks. Proof: numerous fake genders are listed on Facebook. Solution: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Yup, no meat, eggs are dairy products during Lent.

Gutfeld on Fox News at 11PM Eastern Time every night. He and his staff are masters at mocking the left.
