I recommend people go grab the anti-trans coordination emails off maia.crimew.gay.
I recommend you find a group working on a specific aspect of it (journalism, analysis, connection/power mapping, cataloging enemy capabilities, learning from them and using it to social engineer these clowns, running a spy ring inside them, etc.
and for the love of Post Hog, don't do it alone. You're way more powerful together, just definitionally, thanks to skill diversity and wildly different metaphor libraries from varied life experiences.
The background is this:
Elisa made a mistake, got used, and then our opponents got greedy and started pulling her in many directions until she fully broke and realized everything that had happened, retransitioned, and.... gave us every email they ever sent her, with the full TO and FROM fields.
They broke their weapon, and in turn, she gave us nuclear warheads.
and find others, teams make faster progress than individuals because every skillset has a use.
you just need to be able to maintain detachment reading them. the last drop of 800 i would honestly recommend starting with first, or reading the article linked above, at least. you need the context.
we are at war, right now. but as much as it doesn't seem like it, we're in a cold war.
there's proxy conflicts, there's political and legislative maneuvering, there's small fights. In that environment, and even in a hot war, the most effective thing you can do is find the weak points in their leadership and reporting structure, and apply unexpected and overwhelming force to the weak point, and then disappear before they can recover, immediately doing it again while they're responding to the first. Your goal is to make it impossible to plan, causing them to think on the fly under stress, while their reports keep asking them for orders and sign-offs, which they then can't send up the chain, because they're doing the same to the chain above them.
your goal is to find places to try and cause a failure cascade. We don't have numbers yet to fight people toe to toe. But showing up unexpected, or blockading, or catfishing, or being a spy, or running spies, or turning their people into spies? sure. watch defcon talks and have ideas, just don't violate the CFAA.
no one wins in a shooting war, which is why it's important to do everything possible before considering that.
but for it to work, people need to work together, coordinate, and try to have things happen at the same times, not drips and drabs of dox, the lowest hanging and most progressive-support-losing tactic. if pol are gonna do it, at least wait.
back in WWII, we had to make some hard choices.
one of them, Allies command knew a village was going to be bombed a day in advance. They had to let the village die, they couldn't even call an evacuation, or scramble fighters.
because no recent ships had sunk, no codebooks stolen, for this months batch of encryption keys. and if they saved the village, Germany would know the Enigma encryption had been broken.
try not to release anything early.
