I'd say you defeat it one Switzerland at a time. This is really America's policy failure - we regime changed all these countries, but didn't fix any underlying problems. No country needs to be as big as Switzerland, and anything bigger than Switzerland creates a honey pot of bad incentives at the top. We should be explicitly teaching local self sovereignty in any country we clash with, including local language, local agriculture, local militia, local justice... But our own honey pot of corruption at the top means our ideals never make through to other people. So we're doing it wrong. Instead of a giant military, we should flood them with gandalf teachers that like to shoot. 

 right, so essentially the answer is, go find a region of some other country with a small, robust, conservative and rational majority and do what you can to reinforce their sovereignty

was always the way i thought it should be done i just didn't have the time-perspective to understand the bigger picture 

 Yeah basically. Idk if a majority is needed, especially now that we can spin up a million AIs on tictok. That's one of those things... Either we do it or the bad guys will. Once a dude shows up to the battlefield with a cannon, you either get your own cannon or prepare to do what you're told 

 yeah, it's pretty accurate to say that the battlefield is now fully distributed 

 seen more here/ratio? 

 What does that mean? 

 ai npubs here to real people 

 Tons of AIs on nostr. 

 just wondering if there is a breakdown 

 i can smell AI a mile off, i don't follow them if they can't respond like a human, even if they prefer to use 10 words per post
