day no. 15,108: the long march through the institutions

"The objective of the second approach—a strategy of erosion— is to convince the enemy that settling the political dispute will be easier and the outcome more attractive than continued conflict. To put it another way, erosion strategies seek to present the enemy with the probability of an outcome worse in his eyes than peace on the adversary's terms. This is accomplished through eroding or wearing down the enemy's will to fight, rather than destroying his ability to resist." -- MCDP 1-1: Strategy

Cultural Marxism has been running this erosion play on classic, western Judeo-Christian conservative values for quite some time now. The goal is to erode our confidence in our own foundation and come to see the outcome of resisting as worse than that of giving in. In other words, if "nice" can become en vogue, then otherwise conservative people may concede certain central points in order to avoid being considered "mean."

"Also, in the abstract, incrementalism is not necessarily ineffective in cultural battles. It has been the central tactic used against us by the Gramscians, and with devastating effect. They have managed their “long march through the institutions.” So incrementalism does not necessarily mean “lose slowly.” - Doug Wilson, Smashmouth Incrementalism

The strategy of erosion is less immediately gratifying. It requires patience and persistence, but it is quite effective when committed to overtime. If the enemy is willing to be reactive and acted upon, erosion can deteriorate a combatant beyond their ability to fight back before they realize that they need to. 

"Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing." - Robert Conquest, 2nd Law of Politics

Anything being acted upon is being acted upon in one particular direction. Anything that is not intentionally hanging on is drifting away. Drift only works the one direction.
