we need a different way of swordfighting now that people have different
relationships to swords and weapons. Medieval skills made sense when everyone
used knives every day. now it's much easier to [redacted] them all through the

light infantry aren't designed to fight to the death. I think that's something
that modern militaries understand very well. hence why they can rotate on
leave.
when a larger nation attacks a smaller force, it's merely a question of how
long they can drag it out. like, lawyers who send frivolous lawsuits or
constantly bothering people for breaking "laws" about their social and
cultural expression.
if you're not hurting anybody, who cares if you pirate your TV? if nobody is

"Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a
rifle.
Begin to orient your life around guns. How can you support the people who
wield them? We all need food, shelter, kindness, and inspiration.
Your fears and your worries shall bother you no longer, for your life as
you've led it so far has been the life of capital. It's okay to miss what
you've lost, but remember who took it from you and enrage. Then, engage.
Nothing starts today. It has started quite a while ago, and it's only now

a firm grasp on your sword and a pen that cuts sharper to the truth than any

when playing co-operative strategy games, a build focused purely on
self-defence and community organizing can easily fail your allies. You cannot
win with a purely defensive build, you must have offensive capabilities as
well.
We've been trained from a young age to believe that offensive = bad, wrong,
evil, but that's simply not true. You cannot execute a flanking maneuver
without pushing forward behind enemy lines, where you can hit them in their
sides or rear.
Trust me, flanking is the best way to defeat a foe, because they are forced to
split their attention not only between multiple enemies but also multiple
directions.
The more shots on target, the better your chances of success, because most of
the time it only takes one hit to win.
In addition, sometimes it's important to *intercept* your foes, either as they
flee or to protect a vulnerable friend that is being pounced upon or flanked.

the kind that only comes from the loss of compassion.

The full story is a lot more complex. I broke the law with him in a dangerous
way, but he was going to do it anyway and I wanted to know more about him.
I could not deprive him of power because I am powerless without my words. But
I supplied kindness anyway, and got hurt.
I forgave him while he was hurting me, but if I see him again I'm drawing my
knife. If he comes near me, I won't think twice.

"you can't kill me because nothing I say is wrong"
... actually I kinda just think you look weird, and thats super important to
me for some reason. Also your voice is annoying and I think you're lazy
because I saw someone who kinda looks like you sitting down looking at their
phone this one time.
But hey pal if you wanna help out, can you stand a bit to the left so I have a
clearer shot of your head and also so the bullet doesn't pass through and hit
property behind you? Don't want to damage anything important after all.
"gee I sure wish we had a well regulated militia or something"
ah well the past is the past, and since this is in a potential near future, I
think the past also includes the present, and in the present there's always
time to do things about people like me.
"do something? heavens no, I'm a pacifist by nature"
well, me too! I pacify things like you as a hobby. Can't make trouble if
you're in the ground, and knowing me, you'd be lucky to be buried.

there's a whole class of things I miss doing but can no longer do because I am
not a child anymore.
Balancing the weight of the things we miss and the things we believe in is the
struggle of adulthood.
I yearn for the day I can set aside my teenage-ish toys, but alas, I am but
30. Scarcely a decade away from my teens. Which means I'll be stuck with them
for at least a decade more.

people who don't write have no idea who they are. perhaps in time they will
know enough to describe themselves with newfound language they never knew how
to wield.

which honestly is the most heartening thing I've heard all day.
