Kinda confirms to me that the current admin's strategy is to destroy as much as possible and only address the squeaky wheels on a case-by-case basis.

The small handful of things that we fight back against and win won't outweigh the sheer amount of damage they do to things we have less awareness of. A single win, no matter how large or trivial, will sate the general public for a time and give them the calmness the admin needs to keep moving forward.

Pretty sure this is a military strategy and probably has a name. Inundate your enemy with so many events they spread themselves too thin to address everything coming at them.

I think "blitzkrieg" matches somewhat: don't stop to engage every stronghold, just drive around them, isolate them, and cut off their support networks.

Yeah it got rebranded “shock and awe” by the previous set of fascists that were running the government.

With all the Nazis in government going back to blitzkrieg is probably more accurate.

Which is ironic as Blitzkrieg itself is a rebrand of Schwerpunktschlacht IIRC
