"Fair question: is there some strategic reason for this behavior or are they just nuts? If the former, I would be less dismissive."

The answer is:

BOTH.

Cargo cults build crazy, primitive models of aircraft in the hopes of convincing John Frum to return, bringing with him can of of Spam and bars of chocolate.

If you look at the American mafia, ALL of the families imploded because they went off the rails.

You simply can't exist in a state of savagery, regardless of how you rationalize it.

Mafiosos started out one way, but the more violent they got, the more materialistic and power mad the became.

You can't stay sane when you're blowtorching people, putting their heads in vises, and dismembering them.

It's the same with leftism.

Leftism is cancer. Left untreated, it metastasizes. At a given point, rational thought ceases, and you begin doing things without knowing why.

California is a the perfect laboratory. The state is trying to abolish incarceration.

"People don't belong in cages."

True. Some people deserve to be killed.

Here's what I mean about lack of rational thought:

If you abolish punishment and incarceration, that gives VIGILANTES free rein to administer street justice to ensure the safety of their communities.

Obviously leftists don't want THAT, but they haven't thought their ideas through. They don't know that lawlessness cuts both ways.

When California finally abolishes incarceration, criminals will simply be hanged from streetlamps.

And there won't be anything anyone can do to stop it.

Remember the leftist cities being attacked by what the governors ADMITTED were highly trained and organized FOREIGN agents?

And yet Trump pacified all those cities in ONE NIGHT when asked to do so.

He said it takes about an hour.

How it was done was never leaked.

We have no idea how many veterans have those skills.

NOT ONE gangbanger or cartel member has those skills.

So the bad guys lose. GUARANTEED.

But leftists can't grasp this.

So yes, they have a strategy, but it's too late.

They've become late-stage mafiosos, off their rockers with power and the need to playact at being Roman emperors.

And I'll tell you another thing:

A hell of a lot of this crazy stuff is conservative double agents discrediting everything leftist.

Dr. Seuss, for example.

Not that leftists need much help.

Biden just called the entire state of Texas "Neanderthals."

Democrats have put themselves in an untenable situation:

Now THEY are anti-science on all fronts. They may as well be consulting witch doctors.

So yes, they have a strategy, but now leftism is totally nonviable, so the strategy has no bearing on reality.

In World War I, the Swiss has ONE GENERAL.

He opposed all weapons except for rifles, heavy machine guns, and artillery.

By 1918, here's what there were in terms of weapons:

light machine guns
submachine guns
hand grenades
grenade launchers
light, medium, and heavy trench mortars
rockets
poison gas
flamethrowers
tanks
antitank guns
armored personnel carriers
fighter aircraft
strategic bombers
automatic cannons
body armor

The Swiss general rejected ALL of those weapons.

Then how would Switzerland defend herself? asked the politicians.

"Manliness," said the general.

The Swiss had to wait until he died before they could go on a crash armaments program.

Some Swiss weapons--such as the Oerlikon 20mm cannon--has been in use for 84 years.

It's still the best design in the world.

All our naval vessels in World War II were covered with them.

Follow

So to wind up my answer, an insane strategy is still a strategy.

But it's insane.

So it can't work.

Ever.

@ThomasWic Just wanted to take a second so people could see and appreciate some of the WWI body armor. This is just the tip of the iceberg

@wildcatf4f4

Pretty much every country had steel AND soft body armor.

They also anticipated the shape of the universal Kevlar helmet that we initially called the Fritz because it looked like a German helmet.

@ThomasWic I've always been amazed at the multitude of different designs and solutions attempted during WWI. Even though I know a lot of the pictures, like the Brewsters Body Armor, are of things that never saw the field.

Lots of interesting helmets as well, but I can't say I know much about them, more of an aircraft guy than anything.

@ThomasWic @wildcatf4f4 My BIL's grandfather was a WWI vet. "Poppa" signed up underage and later became a NYC cop. He'd sing any song we asked from a broad list. "Keep your head down Fritzi boy, keep your head down Fritzi boy, If you wanna see your father in the Fatherland, keep your head down Fritzi boy!"

@wildcatf4f4 @ThomasWic I had no idea that we sent water heaters into battle during WWI.

@scottgfx I'm 95% certain that wasn't used in the field, but I know it was tested successfully, as you could probably guess, it was heavy.

@ThomasWic - "He clouds their minds, and muddles their plans. They fall to their delusions, their destruction is at hand."

I'm laughing at everything now. And I have you, Saul, and everyone at QV to thank.

@MusicAndFiction @ThomasWic

loll
ikr? nobody wants their shithole ideology.. America is ripe to unite and we do unite when attacked.. and we were attacked many times, many ways last year

theyre just rubbing salt in it now

@ThomasWic

It is an amazing thing to see what mankind can do when insane rulers leave this earth.

@ilumanous @ThomasWic
The people of the world don't have any idea what will happen when they're all gone. It's gonna be lit.

@ThomasWic

Nailed it. Literally nailed it.

It sure is fun to watch!

@ThomasWic Coming from a computer background, I see their plans as having memory leaks riddles throughout. Eventually the issues start becoming noticeable, then things fail faster, until eventually the whole system fails.

@ThomasWic Someone said a few years ago, "In the not too distant future, they will hunt Liberals with dogs."

@ThomasWic As good an explanation of crazy applied to current political environment as I've seen. What's surprising is how many people don't yet recognize the crazy or perhaps ignorance is bliss to some.
