Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals #12 has metastasized.

ALINSKY'S RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.

ALINSKY'S RULE 12:...

If things continue on the present trajectory, it'll soon be time for Meyer's rule #12 - Pick a target. Poke a hole in it. Pick another, and poke a hole in it. Until the threat stops.
