Counterrules to Alinsky’s rules. Alinsky assumes you never fight back. Your biggest weapon is pointing out their hypocrisy.

COUNTERRULE 1: Give them power way beyond what they have - then paint them as a thug, oppressor, and a mafia organization.

COUNTERRULE 2: Turn their expertise against them by pointing out the hypocrisies and contradictions within their own belief system.

COUNTERRULE 3: Use absurdity to defeat absurdity. Push them into moral arguments and away from policy arguments. Always try to paint them as a religious organization and bash them for violating separation of church and state.

COUNTERRULE 4: Make them live by the same rules you do.

COUNTERRULE 5: Ridicule them back by pointing out the one-sidedness of their ridicule and the free pass they give their own side.

COUNTERRULE 6: Let their tactics blow up in their faces by staying a step ahead and funneling them to the place of hanging themselves with their own rope.

COUNTERRULE 7: Liberals never obey rule 7. Use it against them.

COUNTRERULE 8: Use passive-aggressiveness. Paint them as bullies and thugs, when they recoil take their heads off and say it was self-defense. Always play the victim, even when they try and play the victim. Let it go to surreal absurdity because people lose interest quick in a catfight.

COUNTRERULE 9: Let the threat build up to beyond critical mass till it’s too late to back out, then destroy it loudly, publicly, and repeatedly with a pre-planned argument. Don’t be afraid to sow seeds with misinformation that they can turn into ready made fallacies you can destroy.

COUNTERRULE 10: Fight them to a stalemate. When you have an aggressor that must win, fighting to a stalemate can be a victory. It’s especially effective if their ‘negative’ means denying one of their own ‘social justice’. E.g. green energy would be expensive and hurt the poor.

RULE 11: Liberals forget this rule, and their ‘solutions’ are doomed by their ideology out of the box and never bet beyond the stock, repetitive dogma. Use that congenital defect against them.

COUNTERRULE 12: Question the credibility and especially the motivation of their attack and the attacker. Point out any hypocrisies, contradictions, or selective enforcement. Trip them up, then brand them as illegitimate, intellecutally bankrupt, divisive, hateful.

Thanks! I was hoping someone had available a list of tactics for countering the mob of 0bots. Will put to good use next Wednesday.
