I certainly do NOT suggest anything remotely akin to passivity. And I greatly agree that forcefulness striding forth triumphant has a lot of merit.

I just think force is very tricky in such a context. There's a lot of hazards that could result in backfiring. I don't know how to insure the results are what we want.

What kind of force applied how in what context to what extent by what actors within what parameters etc?

I hope you understand that I mean "force" in the context of which the question was asked. As in "memes", propaganda, rhetoric, etc.

Sort of a "when they go low, we go lower" kinda deal. Always staying one level of force above them, and no more. Finally ending up with the amount of "force" necessary to gain compliance and stop resistance. It should be noted that physical force is on the continuum, all force being reasonable and necessary at all times.

It's the thinking man's use of force, taking into everything and then some of those things you mentioned.

The time for playing nice-nice, Marquis of Queensbury rules is over. That's a loser's game.

Once we’ve consolidated power in the coming elections, trigger the left to doing something really violent and stupid and then put them down, swiftly and shockingly.
