I dont think we should pretend our enemies are just a bit silly, its actually something ive thought about a lot since the putin interview, george bush wasnt some bumbling funny old man for example
Belittling your enemies is fun. But generally impairs your ability to fight them effectively. If you don't understand their motivations and write it off as "they're morons" then you are notvprepared to argue against their rhetoric or to produce counter propaganda. Its pretty obvious lots of causes weaponize purposeless young men. So reducing gsng members to "idiots" is simplistic. If you want to disrupt your enemies recruiting you need tovunderstsnd why they are appealing. Are they giving purpose? Are they providing answers or reassurance (both of which can obviously be lies)? These are questions that allow you to undermine their recruiting or perhaps even recruit for your cause.
Of course. Some ideologies mostly appeal to gullible people with no education. And arguing is futile anyway.
