    Published as a strategy suggestion in 1997 and is literally a textbook for their military academy. Notice how it says “for instance, provoke Afro-American racists”. The playbook is to find existing pain points and dig in deep. Obviously it would be much more difficult to create such a movement from scratch. Much easier to inject ragebait into the lives of people already prone to being hateful.

    Other great bits:

    The United Kingdom, merely described as an “extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.”, should be cut off from the European Union.

    Wonder if that could ever happen, eh?

      We know the Russians were involved in that. MI6 confirmed it and then the government of the time covered it up.
