Techniques of war: The enemy in your rows

[matrixmann]

Be aware of the techniques of infiltration and defamation.
When you start a new movement, be aware that there's already dozens of various interest groups at the initial starting blocks to subvert and corrupt your new creation.
The goal is the following: Taming it. Making it a controllable thing for those which you try to overcome.
If they don't get it one way, they try the other one.
One of both always works because of the ability of human weakness and because of human naivety.
Strategic thinking is the only thing that is your insurance against that - being aware of it and countering it as soon as you notice the first signs of it getting closer to you.

Very good advice. Those are the most dangerous. Opportunists. Sometimes they are hard to tell. But strategy and trying to predict their goal and analyze whose interests are behind are few methods to expose them.

I don't only mean the opportunists that choose to be opportunist. It also encloses those which get blackmailed, which have families they don't want to catch harm from doing what they think they must do, those which don't want to be homeless over night or be hungry and freezing to death.
As well as those - you know, who exists which couldn't get seduced one or the other way? Everyone can, but there exist a lot of humans which can be seduced very easily. Why? Because of primitive instincts (e. g. women to conquer...), because of shiny stuff, because of looking not far enough into depth and being content too early / or giving up too early, because of emotional stuff in general (e. g. love, hate, fear, Kindchenschema), or because of not understanding the substance of the matter good enough, so they get seduced to change to another side (a third side in the game).

It maybe sounds like saying "when wanting to produce real change, you must live in ascesis", but when I take notice, what people let get in between them and what they want to fight for, also things that rather get in between them and their objective from the outside without having asked for it voluntarily,
it seems to me like one of the only reasonable options. 'Cause that way you don't offer vulnerable points to getting blackmailed, 'cause that way you don't go down on most of the seductions that your enemy comes up with, and that way you rather put all your efforts into a subject until you're content instead of stopping at some point needlessly.

Oh, i see i guess there is always a danger to risk your reputation and family and what not. It is hard. Like you said the right strategy may help to predict and also deal with all this.

Well, at least one understands...
