Seeing the world through this lens has been both freeing and disheartening…
If you think your opinions don’t matter, that the world in front of you is too great of a mountain to move, that you are struggling against a mighty machine too powerful and too organized for you to stand against, keep this in mind - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

It reminds me of this tradition. Especially this quote from a modern incident “Successfully counting coup disgraces your opponent. It’s a way of publicly shaming them. We believe that if you are shamed, you must admit defeat.” It makes me wonder how much of the motivation for the incidents is internal consumption. Acting aggresively, but in a carefully crafted way to avoid an escalated response. The message sent internally that the other side restrains themselaee not out of reason, but fear.
