Forwarded from Nicholas R. Jeelvy
If you want to know if someone is a friend or an enemy, ask them what their victory condition is. At what point do they feel confident that there’s no longer any need for fighting and activism and that they can go home and live a quiet life? Their vision of victory will tell you if you’re talking to a friend or an enemy.
An enemy posing as a friend will also try to obscure his vision of victory and misdirect in order to stop himself from being outed. He hopes that in the absence of a stated victory condition, your imagination will fill in the gap with your own vision of victory. That way, he can instrumentalize you and use your efforts for his own nefarious needs.
