"The more important question to ask is not why Trump lies, but instead why so many people vote for him in the first place. What are the conditions—economic, political, semiological, and so on—that produce this voting and acting? The solution to the problem is not to impeach the orange man (again), or ban him from Twitter (too late, Mr. Dorsey, too late). Rather, it is to allow people to think and to choose in a way that is not clouded by humiliation and resentment."

Enhancing your situational awareness can be as easy as checking your mirrors while driving or keeping your head on a swivel in the street. Understanding what is around you and the potential therein is an important step in operational thinking. Radicals often spend a lot of time focusing on what ought to be instead of what is which can stunt their thinking in this regard which is why it’s important to flex these mental/physical muscles.

Quotes from some of those locking down in #Backus MN today at an Enbrige / Line 3 pipeline segment this morning:
“I realized that indigenous ways of knowing are continuously ignored. Line 3 far outweighs all progress being made in renewables. Education and spreading awareness is no longer enough to create meaningful change for me.”
“I’m here in love. Love for this planet, for my comrades, for Native people who’ve been in this fight for over 500 years & for all future generations. So I’m joining this fight. If you see this & are able, you should do the same. Love & lights <3”

This PDF contains the bulk of the works of one of the most important war theorists in living memory, John Boyd.
Not only did he revolutionize air combat, invent tools like the OODA loop, and bring together ancient war wisdom and contemporary operational thinking, but his focus on fighting without conventional command structures, the social base of guerrilla war, and the ways a smaller force can defeat a larger more mighty one make his writing full of useful ideas for those coming up against the formal enforcers of the ruling order.
He pulls wisdom from past and present that provide insight that is useful even beyond the battlespace and applicable to innumerable scenarios.

Detrimental lengthening of this loop isn’t only limited to military or police organizations. Activist or political orgs that require permission or approval beyond the implicit also lengthen their OODA loop to the point of hampering their maneuverability. Sometimes the activist loop is even more sluggish then the police who are burdened with a conventional command hierarchy. Though of course this summer proved once again a crowd in the street can get their loop pretty accelerated.
