Tactics – Episode 7: The Salting the Earth Doctrine (Institutional Edition)

Winning isn’t enough.
If you don’t destroy the machine that tried to stop you, it will rebuild.
Stronger. Smarter. And more ruthless.
In this episode of Tactics, we go beyond victory. We explore The Salting the Earth Doctrine—the final, unforgiving phase of political conquest. It’s not about reform. It’s about erasure. About ensuring that the old system doesn’t just lose—it dies.
From the fall of Carthage to the death of the Civil Aeronautics Board, we walk through the historical playbook for eliminating institutional resistance permanently. Not defunding. Not trimming. Dissolving. Nullifying. Deleting.
Because the real war isn’t just against your opponents—
It’s against the systems that gave them power.
Want real change?
Then don’t just win.
Salt the earth.
