RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

Countrymen,

Political correctness, soft power and smart diplomacy all mean the same thing: manipulation. Instead of getting down to it and defeating an aggressor, extirpating their will to aggress — i.e., waging classical diplomatic, financial and military warfare — one attempts to manipulate them this way and that, like a cat playing with a mouse it has caught, instead of just killing it. It is a female’s and feline’s tactic: manipulate it rather than end it, play with it — taunt and torture it, as a human sees it — rather than just terminate it.

This keeps the enemy alive, undefeated, still aggressive, things in a constant uproar. Terrorism, too, is a manipulation tactic, not a war-fighting action. Very feminine, feline.

PC, soft power, smart diplomacy and terrorism are of a piece: manipulate indefinitely rather than bring matters to a happy conclusion; get inside people’s minds and mess with them there rather than just incarcerate or shoot them.
