@GottaLaff@GhostOnTheHalfShell We're stuck in a reactive mode where they have initiative and attack and we respond with a rhetorical counter to their very non-rhetorical attacks.
We won't win by playing exclusively defense. They've already destroyed what we thought we were defending.
There will be violence and we're actively hurting ourselves by denying that fact and doing nothing to gain any advantage in the next phase.
