Yes it is, and it’s high time our side starting using it.
On it, Batman.
The author is an idiot.
Ghengis Khan didn’t givva sh!t about ridicule.
Neither did Harry Truman when he dropped the A bomb.
Most potent weapon? Ridiculous.
“Ridicule Is Man’s Most Potent Weapon”
We have a meme for that.
Isaac Davis: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Y’know, I read this in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, y’know, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them.
Party Guest: There is this devastating satirical piece on that on the Op Ed page of the Times, it is devastating.
Isaac Davis: Well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.
-Manhattan, Woody Allen
The truth.
I don’t know... Give me a .44 and a machete instead.
I agree with you. It is quite ridiculous.
I am a proud member of the LGBFJB community.
Libtards are too stupid to know they’re being ridiculed
.
Dang-it!
Just when I was starting to think that I was well-armed, too....
Drat.

Rough part o’ town them Nantuckatees... don’t like the undocumen.... unvetted rabble. House service industry must be unionized.
A book that every Conservative should read- and for the same reason that Patton read Rommel - is Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”. Studying the insights and tactics of the enemy is always wise, prudent, and often helpful.
While Genghis Kahn or Hitler might not have feared ridicule, in the current arena, it’s a potent weapon. To make someone a laughing stock in a republic or a democracy is nearly lethal. A bitter attack the enemy can respond to, being made fun of, hurts.
As with all good rules, it works regardless of which side applies it. The left used ridicule with great effectiveness; now that *they* are ‘the system’, Alinsky’s brilliant tactical treatise applies just as well.
Nothing pisses off a liberal than using their own tactics and words against them.
An extreme exaggeration, yes.
It’s a damned potent weapon, though. And in particular when the other side controls the media, the narrative, and the apparatus of State.
Rush figured this out in the early 90’s.
