He further elaborates the basics of the plan being executed in Operation Parkland.
So, let me explain what's going on with this and the NRA benefits thing: none of this came together on the fly; this is a carefully researched strategy that's being executed now bc the moment is favorablehttps://t.co/shedUseZWD— David Hines (@hradzka) March 2, 2018

Further tweets below are taken out of tweet format and just printed as normal text, in blockquotes. But they come from David Hines (@hradzka on Twitter).
The way spectrum of allies analysis works is: you categorize people and groups by where they stand in relation to you and your target on whatever issue you're working on.


...

Active opponents are against you, and fighting you.
Passive opponents are against you, but they're not fighting you.
Neutrals are neither against or for you.
Passive allies are with you, but they're not fighting for you.
Active allies are with you and are fighting for you.

...


The point of spectrum of allies analysis is figuring out who you can move one notch. Who can you move toward you? Who can you move away from your enemy? And how do you make sure you don't push people away from you?

...

Active allies: engage them.
Passive allies: make them active.
Neutrals: inform or educate them to make them passive allies.
Passive opponents: make them move to neutral by worrying their position may cost them -- BUT CAREFULLY, so they don't become active opponents.

...

Active opponents: make it clear that anything they do against you will cost them, so they retreat to being passive opponents. Failing that, isolate them.

You are now thinking, "Holy crap, yeah, I've seen this technique used everywhere."

...

So under this system, companies giving the NRA discounts are passive opponents to gun control activists. Get them to drop this discount. Make them neutral. And it's not like NRA members really *use* discounts much, so the companies will see no strong material argument against.

...


But if this works: look, now you've got precedent.

(Turns out it cost Delta a $40 million tax break. But most companies with NRA discounts are not vulnerable like that, in large part bc *the NRA does not have comparable research to know what their weaknesses to pressure are.*)


...

Activists have been researching firearms companies, finding ones vulnerable to pressure or whose parent companies are. That's where the REI thing comes in. This has not been done in a few weeks. It is careful preparation and it takes months. Groundwork was done months ago.

...

That's how this stuff is done: preparation, preparation, PREPARATION, then carefully staged release, usually on a calendar, but in this case probably at the most favorable moment that presented itself.


...


What you're seeing is activist pressure to turn NRA's passive allies neutral.

The Lyft thing? Free rides to the march? Lyft didn't just decide to do that. They were asked, and asked carefully, and the people asking knew the people they asked were passive allies needing a push.

...

It pays to be familiar with activists' analytical tools (this isn't the only one, of course). Turn them against yourself or your organization; that way, if you're subject of an activist attack, you'll get an idea of where the attack is likely to come from. Don't get caught blind.

/fin

oh, and a PS. If all this stuff sounds military to you? *That's because it is.* Don't think of activism as bullshit the other guys do. Think of it as a non-violent army. That's what it is. And it's hard work. Respect it.

I would say the most egregious part of this warplan, and the one that makes me the most animated, is the part where they attempt to pressurize their "active enemies" into a coerced silence, threatening consequences for speaking out against them.

I would further say the biggest division on what used to be called "The Right" are the two main factions' understanding of this tactic and this desired end-state, and their total rejection of it -- or soft toleration of it.

Some of us are still in Business as Usual Mode and some of us are highly alarmed at how close the left is to achieving its end-state of a society divided between the Empowered True Believers and the Denigrated and Threatened Underclass, and are no longer willing to walk towards the gulags.

As we consider civil equality and freedom-in-fact (not just theoretical freedom, but actual real freedom in the real world) to be principles that are more important than any other, we are willing to violate some of the less-important procedural principles to fight the left's objective of complete subjugation of us.

To many of us, it appears the Business As Usual crowd is focused on fairly trivial procedural matters while performing their appointed duties as the left's enablers and enforcers of complete social and cultural rulership by the left.


Poster Comment:

As with the Left's expert manipulations of language, this type of game theory strategy isn't always quickly recognized by the Right. We focus on the Second Amendment and our firepower when we need to realize that words and tactics are another kind of bullets that we don't have enough of in our arsenals.

The mention that these tactics are based on psy-ops against enemy populations in counterinsurgency operations cannot be stressed enough.

Excellent overview and assessment.

Good read and reminder that there IS an active war of tactics and psy-op "war-plan" at work. IN PLAIN SIGHT. Whether mainstream or social media; Hollywood or corporate allies.

The mention that these tactics are based on psy-ops against enemy populations in counterinsurgency operations cannot be stressed enough.

That IS interesting, isn't it?

But IS the "spectrum of allies analysis" tactic really working? OR backfiring?

Isn't this war contingent on Media Perception and its own cred?

To counter-attack this offensive by the Left, Trump had wisely pre-emptively Tweet-Bombed ridiculed and discredited/disarmed the degree of the Left's usual armor and artillary: THE MSM.

IMO, the Left won the initial battle against the NRA. They launched every rocket and tank division they had. However in the first flush and salvos of their attack they needed to lie about the facts....THAT came back to bite them.

As the facts have been revealed, there has been a counter-attack and blowback from NRA supporters, truth-finders, and even "neutrals." So according to my own subjective opinion and observations, the Left has actually lost net ground this psyop battle. The "GUNS!!" Card imo will be ridiculed or largely dismissed by the middle "neutrals."

The Left is blowing through trump cards (no pun intended) and their "Crying Wolf!" cards immediately, desperately gambling that ONE of them will win the war. They haven't yet as Trump's poll numbers increase and Mueller's Witch Hunt FAILS.

(Trump did bend a bit, didn't he under this Parkland blitz? But didn't break. And now he is stronger as usual.)

Excellent overview and assessment.

Hines should write a book, include a lot of examples. This is the new Alinsky doctrine of the Left. They're moving well beyond mere community organizing.

We can't fight back unless we can see the tides and politics of these social media platforms and the Lefty overseers of the Facekooks and the Twitterverse.
