Subversion
When waging war makes you look hypocritical, wage it in more subtle ways so you can make use of your anti-war useful idiots.

Many are aware of physical warfare, enforcing one's belief onto another through physical force that results in harm, injury, or loss. It is likely; you are not aware of other forms of warfare. You are not aware because psychological warfare is nearly impossible to prove. To prove it, you must prove the existence of harmful intent in subversive actions. Knowing that is impossible if the individual does not put their intent of harm onto something that someone can claim as physical proof. That’s why we put psychological warfare and subversion under the banner of stealth warfare.
In the world of politics and power pursuit, the existence of psychological warfare and subversion is self-evident; that’s what they do. As physical warfare is known to be a crime if not conducted in self-defence, how does one gain off the loss of another in the stupid game of power pursuit? The answer? Subversion. How do we know it exists? Because they taught us how to do it through books written by those who found a way to wage war without bullets and physical combat.

Sun Tzu was brilliant, but he created a bible for those who pursue power, with no defence manual for those who reject the pursuit of power. Essentially, he gave predators more ammunition to use against life and liberty’s development. Regardless of your beliefs or how you want them framed to match your flavour, subversion aims to subvert the ideals of those you want to conquer. That way, people drop values that serve them to promote the conquerer's beliefs or lack of faith in anything other than the conqueror.

Say you are a competent activist or advocate for the return of sanity, difficult conversations, and moral fortitude. You seek to raise awareness around issues perpetuated by those who wield authority irresponsibly. If so, you would do well to learn to identify subversion within your organisation. Be forewarned, not everybody who engages in subversive behaviour is operating with the intent to undermine. The saying - "the best controlled opposition is one who does not know they are controlled opposition," is an example of high-level subversive manipulation. Suppose you can get someone to subvert an opposing organisation with their organic and consistent undermining behaviour. In that case, the opposing organisation won't be able to gauge subversive intent, and they will feel conflicted about removing them from their organisation.

The Parliament Occupation was a harsh learning environment for those naive to psychological warfare and subversion. Remembering the 22-day occupation, we point out the physical abuse good men and women suffered on those three critical days. However, for those who worked to keep people safe, fed, and sheltered, we remember the variety of ways our opposition waged psychological war on us. We remember Trevor Mallard's attempt to drown us on a publicly-funded lawn through the improper use of irrigation. We remember his use of noise warfare at crucial moments of the night and day, the random explosion of fireworks set off by masked assailants, the infiltration of Freedom Village's security, and the repetition of misinformation through our radios. All of this and more combined to make Freedom Village a psychological hell-hole for those who were in it for the long haul, and some of us continue to document and note down some more ways our opposition subverts our cause.

Although we're still determining whether these individuals are willing and conscious participants in the deliberate subversion of grassroots activism. We have enough data to prove that they are, at the very least, subverting our efforts unconsciously. When we started attempting to point out controlled opposition within the Freedom Movement, we made claims we couldn't prove. Our information-gathering processes were primarily assumptive, and we made a lot of poor judgments based on our interpretation of the seemingly purposeful nature of their mistake-ridden habits. We've learned a lot since those early days of Billy TK finger-pointing. Because of those learnings, we may have identified a team of subversives attempting to hijack grassroots movements to drive them into the ground or toward a political non-solution.
Thanks to the only grassroots activist occupation to survive the subversive onslaught these characters brought with them. Genuine activists now have a set of behaviours and tendencies to look out for when encountering potential subversives. These individuals may not intentionally subvert your efforts, but it does not matter; if they repetitively undermine your efforts and refuse to change their behaviour for the benefit of the cause, you may have to make some tough decisions. We don't have time to play tiddlywinks around people's hypothetical emotional distress; we're in a war for the moral direction of humanity. If someone is bringing your efforts down and they are demonstrating the hallmark behaviours of a subversive, get rid of them.
