Sh!t, our enemies make up entire stories out of thin air. Why shouldn’t we at least play by similar rules
The first thought is that if we act like them, we become them.
It might work as a short term strategy. But I will stick with the maxim that the truth always wins in the end.
The truth always wins in the end because it can never be destroyed, whereas lies are built on a fragile structure that can always be undermined by an eventual recognition of the truth.
Something I find fascinating are the number of combat training movies used during WWII now being released over YT and other places.
One of the shorts I recently saw was a brief primer on hand-hand and close in combat. And what did the narrator explain? This wasn't a situation for fair play; anything goes. So, they demonstrated groin kicks, throw sand/objects, playing resigned in order to surrender, then springing forth with a knife for the kill, etc.
Part of popular American dogma is to assume there's some element of 'fair play', as if we're somehow different or better. That's great for bringing up children during their school years, but then when they're drafted for the front lines at 18, they get the direct truth explained to them in graphic detail.
The truth does work. We should always lead with it. There is no need to lie, the truth is far more devastating to the left.
BUT we (meaning our betters in the Republican party) must be bold and relentless in broadcasting it. How many of the spineless (R) cowards do that?
