This is not a normal time. I think we're at the early stages of an attempt to turn the UK into an autocracy. There follows a thread about the military methodology that I think the Johnson/Cummings Regime is using to wage information war against you, and how you can fight back.\1
Let's resist the illusion that the Johnson/Cummings Regime is precarious structure or a static edifice. It's part of a complex, hybrid, shape-changing network, only part of which is visible. Defeating it will require ceaseless, full spectrum opposition, learning & adaptation.\2

The Johnson Regime, its funders & fellow travellers are parts of a complex network.
It's not a balanced structure like dominoes, or snow before an avalanche, where one intervention can topple the lot.
To prevail against this sort of opponent demands a systems thinking approach.
Successful opposition will be a full spectrum process across multiple domains. To succeed it must be fast & continuous, flexible & transformative. Interventions must be visible & invisible, direct & indirect, fast & slow, at all scales. Most of all, it must be a learning process.

@theNewsfox@MikeH_PR What I'm talking about is the activity of managing multiple objectives and numerous (sometimes apparently contradictory) tactics in a situation where it's not obvious what relates to what else, how.
@theNewsfox@MikeH_PR I've studied "Operational Art", which has roots in Russian military and intelligence theory - and I see its patterns in Cummings's methods. It's about coping with and managing the confusing, complex linkages in modern conflict. In a sense, it sees the battlefield as an ecology.
