Y’all massively overestimate how much the average person understands about conflict and struggle. Sun Tzu has an important place and doesn’t deserve all this scoffing.
People think they’re too good for The Art of War and then go on to do shit that The Art of War specifically tells you not to do. And people in general need to read up on how to wage war, whether it’s guerilla warfare or counterinsurgency or even just conventional warfare. Like, how can you shout “no war the but class war” without a general understanding of what war actually means? How can you even entertain fantasies of waging revolutionary warfare without even reading a single book on how to wage war?
