I'm speaking from experience nearly fifteen years long fighting for a political cause MEET THE STAMPEDE RUNNER >Claims to be an unconditional or hardcore supporter of the cause >Advocated dangerous escalations of rhetoric or action, seemingly towards the goals of the cause but actually calculated to alienate neutrals and fracture the base into supporters/opposers of their ideas >Derides those who oppose them as uncommitted or weak. "Coward" is literally their favorite insult >They play to the supporter's egos, trying to fluff them into believing they have more power than they do. This is especially dangerous because the people with the highest morale are the most apt to believe it. Their goal is to push the cause forward with unstoppable momentum in a BAD direction. Such that by the time they realize they are making a mistake the momentum is too much to stop and ends in DISASTER! This tactic is employed by shills when a cause has proven too resilient to hold down or contain. They try to get out ahead of it and whip it up into a confused frenzy, like running cattle into a stampede IF YOU CAN NOT HOLD THE BULL BACK, YOU CAN KILL IT BY PUSHING IT FORWARD AND STAMPEDING IT OFF A CLIFF! #Gamer ate right now s in he sweet spot" or th s ype o shilling. We have so much momentum hat hey know hey can't stop us were so redp lled hey know hey can't steer us. so they're going to try and push us hard until we acture and run headlong o our deaths The Response CRITICAL THINKING! With ANY initiative proposed from here on out, consider the possible outcomes ONLY IN THE LONGEST TERM. Consider our ACTUAL, KNOWN capabilities against the promises of hookers and heaven the shills will feed you with REFUSE TO TAKE SIDES! WHEN IN DOUBT, STICK WITH WHAT YOU -KNOW- AND NOW WHAT SOME SHILL IS SCREAMING ABOUT. TRUST YOURSELF AND REJECT ANYONE PUSHING AN IDEA THAT DIVIDES US! tis better to do nothing than to drive ahead with the base fractured over an outside the fence idea DENY YOUR OWN INVINCIBILITY, and realize our power comes from real effort and being SMART, not BRAZEN Remember that if you're posting in this board and you're a part of this campaign, there is NO ONE who can call you a coward. You hae already stood up where TENS OF THOUSANDS BEFORE YOU HAVE BUCKLED And memento mori. "Remember you are mortal." Remember you are fallible. Remember that blind action is automatic failure, and we CAN fail if we choose to fail by making poor choices in tactics, battles, enemies, and terrain. We are not Khorne. We are Sun Tzu. We're here to win the WAR, not to fight the BATTLE. The battles that we MUST fight, we fight on OUR terms, in the times and places of OUR choosing, under the rules WE have set and WE M------------ DO IT TOGETHER OR NOTAT ALL! We live and die by our camaraderie. By our wits. By our planning. By our autistic determination. Not by the hair of our balls and unthinking aggression IF YOU ARE FIGHTING A MARATHON BOSS, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET AGGRESSIVE HALFWAY IN AND BLOW ALL YOUR SP, YOUR MP, YOUR ITEMS AND YOUR SUPER MOVES TRYING TO DAMAGE RACE SOMETHING WITH A BILLION HP? Come on gamers. You know exactly what happens. You b------------- and the boss burns you down because you've given up the power to outlast it Don't fall for this one. The best of the best in times past have been broken by the stampede tactic. People smart enough to take and deflect everything that was thrown at them have been split by this, and with division comes weakness and eventually failure THIS SHILL IS THE THIRTEENTH ANGEL Godspeed anons 44 posts and 8 image replies omitted.
