The war of ideas is fought on three major fronts.
1. Schools and universities.
2. Entertainment media.
3. News media.
The enemy is in control of all three. Aside from some minor corners, we have none of them.
When your enemy educates your children and, lets be frank, you too, when your enemy tells you what is "cool" and what is "uncool", when your enemy tells you what is happening and gets to decide what didn't happen, and what is acceptable to discuss in public, and what is most assuredly not acceptable in public discourse...
And most of important when your enemy gets to decide what your history is and he gets to define you to you, your motives, your principles, your philosophy all get filtered through the pens and microphones of your enemy then your battle is lost from the beginning. If you have to borrow your enemy's microphone in order for your opinion to be heard, it isn't going to be heard. If you have to express your philosophy in terms chosen by your enemy and at a date and time allowed by your enemy then guess what, it isn't going to happen.
If you accept that your enemy controls the infrastructure of the information war and you do nothing about it, then your war is over. You're just a crank griping to other cranks over coffee.
If you accept that your enemy controls the infrastructure of the information war and you do nothing about it, then your war is over.Exactly, that seems to be the point.
