    Well, the man who won the Vietnam War knew damn well what a “Great Man/White Savior” could do, because the Bible used to win was T.E. Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

    T.E. Lawrence was also known as Lawrence of Arabia.

    That book is a guide to taking down an empire, and a warning about “great men/white saviors”.

    The key thing to remember, when fighting an empire, there are no Fronts, only Flanks.
