You cannot invade the mimetic mindspace of the United States. There would be a digital soldier and rifle behind every blade of virtual grass. A single autist can solo an entire legion of the 50 cent army. This kind of irregular warfare, like all things internet, follows a power law distribution. You cannot beat a man who does for fun what you need to pay thousands to do. This is the exact opposite of drone warfare which linearly depends on production capacity and unit efficacy. As civilization advanced, physical warfare became abstracted into economic warfare. As society progressed further, economic warfare transformed into mimetic warfare. Now finally we see centralized mimetic warfare turn into decentralized guerrilla mimetic warfare. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” ~ Sun Tzu The autists and terminally online have never been truly mobilized before because 1) previous administrations saw them as dangerous subversives who threatened their power structures and 2) the autists would refuse to fight for them anyway. This changed when Elon bought Twitter and Trump won and we are now witnessing the mobilization of these satyrs born raised in the toxic trenches of PvP competitive Starcraft, DotA, CS 1.6 now reaching mature age. The autist-LLM cyborg hybrid is a digital polymathic super soldier with completely burnt out dopamine receptors. They fight for country, for entertainment, and to be entertained. Bionic ASI has already been achieved. Asimov would have loved to see this.
