4 measurements spanning 17 days, net -4. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 461–467 and does not start at zero.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 17 posts for this entry, the most recent from 13 November 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

“A coward is a better enemy than a martyr. An insurgent who has fled his operational area to seek sanctuary elsewhere makes a mockery of his cause and increases the freedom of maneuver for the counterinsurgent. When he hides in his sanctuary, the insurgent no longer competes for the support of the population and becomes irrelevant to the struggle. A dead or detained insurgent, on the other hand, often achieves the s

training and imagining potential future scenarios is important because WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO YOU DO WHAT YOU KNOW in a chaotic situation it’s good to have put in the work to fall back to a good tactic by default

During the George Floyd Rebellion in 2020, demonstrators in Portland circulated maps identifying the routes on which police would be more likely to be able to trap crowds. Maybe you can do this where you live, too. For more about how to deal with police kettles: https://cwc.im/kettle

we don’t share this to invoke this literally re bullets and bombs but for people to rethink being arrested or putting yourself needlessly in harms way when things could be accomplished by tools or at a distance.

Protestors in LA use bravery, numbers, and the environment to perform dearrest. Police often rely on force projection and fear to control the populace in general and crowds. Often able to control situations with a 10 to 1 disadvantage because of people’s fear of getting hurt or arrested themselves but in situations like protests where deadly force is less likely taking on the police with numerical advantage can be qu

Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @strattac. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Citation-graph rank

Citation-graph rank — 661,605 of 1,627,068entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture.

Forward network

Republished by

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.

Republishes

Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
