I think it wise to learn, understand, master and adopt 5GW techniques (Some of us already have). We don’t have to accept being on the receiving end without fighting back and we don’t have to resort to the Second Amendment...yet. Our adversaries would like nothing more than for the MAGA Right to take up arms (too soon).
Ultimately, if elections fail, and I believe they already have, I think we will likely end up in a combination 4th Gen and 5th Gen warfare with our own government.
IOW, In my cracked and cloudy crystal ball the future looks pretty ugly...
...unless The Plan succeeds and the Military comes riding over the hill in the nick of time to save the Republic.
If I understand what 5GW is at its core (warfare conducted through social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, and use of AI), we’ve been in some parts of this war for decades already. The majority of people just didn’t realize it because they didn’t know they were being lied to by the powers that control media and technology. The lying goes all the way back to pre-internet days when they lied to us through the television, radio and print media; and the social engineering started in the 1960’s with the disruption to the family unit. The internet and various social media platforms have certainly accelerated the war. Calling it a new generation of war may reflect the fact that it’s being conducted almost exclusively on this battlefield, as opposed to traditional wars conducted through military action.
The strange thing about this kind of warfare is that the victims can opt out of the war at any time simply by doing what I call, with deep respect, “going Amish”. If we unplug or limit our exposure to the propaganda, we can’t be influenced. In a traditional war, if they want to shoot me, there isn’t much I can do to stop them other than hide, and that has its limits.
so if the future doesn't improve I don't regret being a senior citizen.....can't stand what is happening now, let alone in the future.
