The war won’t be won as long as we are too ‘moral’ to fight it. Terrorism isn’t a country or a band of miscreants. Terrorism is an ideology. How do you defeat an idea?
The closest tactic I can think of is to ask, “What would the NKVD do?” The way to defeat an idea is to make the punishment for acting on it so swift, so devastating, so inevitable that the notion of implementing the idea dies in the mind before it can be acted on.
The Soviets were not squeamish. They would kill not only the terrorist but everyone in his family, everyone in his ‘village,’ everyone he knows. Mercilessly, openly, and unrelenting. That’s how I’d fight an ideology.
But by the time Americans become so bloody minded, the war will most likely be in the final stages of being lost.

That also applies to domestic politics where conservatives refuse to fight becuse “that’s not what we do”.
it’s easier to sit home than get off your butt and fight
you’re thinking of the old ways the Communists did things. You DON’T want to create martyrs. You DON’T want symbols.
You are correct about ideological warfare but it has to be more subtle. Like the libs do. If you aren’t “right thinking” then you don’t get into the university, you don’t get into the graduate school, you don’t get the job promotion, you don’t get the JOB at all...and on and on.. you don’t get jobs in entertainment, board of directors or anywhere.
You don’t kill them, you destroy their ability to survive. Let nature take it’s course. People will be conditioned to “think the right way” in order to eat. Those that are seriously opposing can be killed accidentally, imprisoned with planted images on their computers, falsifying tax returns, loan applications and the 1000’s of other crimes that are on the books. Simple things like hiring a maid, getting an orphan outside of legal manners, etc..... I can’t remember who said this but it goes something like “give me a man and I’ll convict him of a crime”.
They no longer hide their intentions or perversions. That’s why we have homosexuals in AT&T, Disney, Coke commercials and it’s actually considered an advantage to be gay. Good Morning America now parades a pre-teen boy as a symbol of expression because he dresses as a woman and prances about the stage.
So, yeah...we’re at war. It’s ideological. Save books, save anything that shows a conservative Christian American capitalist ideas in good light. They are being “not published” and not being taught.
As they say, “ you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”
