I was sitting at the urgent care doctor’s office on Saturday (I’m fine) when the doc comes in. I’m reading Networks of Rebellion: Explaining Insurgent Cohesion and Collapse . He starts to ask me a few questions about how I’m feeling (didn’t ask me about any guns) and glances down at the book I’m reading, which has 7.62×39 rounds on the cover and says in plain letters, “NETWORKS OF REBELLION”. He looks up at my ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ hat, which is multi-cam, and he says, “Well, I’m going to give you some antibiotics and a couple steroid shots, anyway. That’ll get you feeling better. I’ll get the nurse to finish up here.” He spent less than two minutes with me. He’s just another liberal disgusted by my lifestyle choice.
At any rate, this isn’t a book review, however, I will tell you that it’s dense. I find myself having to re-read portions of this book. That said, if you have an interest in guerrilla networks, you will definitely get a lot from it. But today I wanted to share some lessons learned from Chapter Two.
