No problem.
I just like to study war stuff and history stuff. Have ever since I can remember.
Kaiserschlacht is a very relevant read to our political environment.
Everything we do loses momentum, mostly down to the logistics of messaging versus state run media, which has an advantage of scale.
Every gain we make is either strategically insignificant (opponents shore up weak positions to direct and waste our efforts on shallow victories), or fails because the political/social goal is socially 'reinforced and hardened' because its important and essential. The state has layers of defense, that is, defense in depth, of its social order.
And if we start to take ground as it were, the state can call in institutional allies, right, left, and center, both national and international.
You know, I've never thought of it that way. That's a really neat way of looking at it.
It's valuable to read the lefts works too. Mainly because they have a manner, at least at the strategic and tactical level, of looking at things 'mechanically'; I've found it helps to adopt that perspective because in lieu of insider information, it gives a good approximation of a forty thousand foot view.
