not talking content, but tone, vibe, structure? yeah.
but I also didn't read a call for warfighting in the streets, but one of overwhelming response from whatever areas.
you should read the emails. They're... grim at times, but I think it will better inform your strategies, and give you a better vibe on our enemies.
they're over on maia.crime.mew, the first 1600 in pdf, the last 800 in a pile of .eml that you'll need to use thunderbird or something for.
people are currently mapping them, finding leverage, expanding the node graph. there's other things that can be and are being done to shift them to the back foot if it does escalate.
but there's so much more that's possible after elisa turned on her handlers and gave us every single email they sent to groom her into a weapon, and it shows how and where the power flows, and who must be discredited, de-licensed, disbarred, forced to resign, or other things. community defense is doing all the work before the rifle, after that happens you're just another insurgent.
all I'm saying is, one can have much wider reaching results without needing to fire actual shots, by knowing the social graph and becoming an intelligence agency. it was much harder to do when we didn't have the full TO and CC fields of everything they wrote to their weapon.
but your tone, yelling-without-yelling, repeating the right things, giving enough context, calling to action? that's leadership. the rest comes with practice and trust building. leadership isn't about being the first one in the door, it's about force multiplication and knowing who needs to do what and who can help with it, knowing your team well enough to deploy their resources where they need to go so the whole team gains more productivity than just another person. it's both facilitator and orator, both manager and coach, and most of all, it abstracts to using your team members like software libraries while you build the thing, but in a more comradery-having and joyful sense than the corporate idea of it.
teams are always more effective than solo, leadership in abstract is about bringing ppl together, giving them context, and applying their skills to the places you see need it most. even if that's just speeches that check those boxes.
