asciilifeform: no, not simple. but mircea_popescu did appear to ask for an algo, and the very notion results in such simplification.
asciilifeform: mop up the vendetta sons ?
asciilifeform: you grind down the rubble, so nothing like it can ever reappear ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is myopic, because the nato isn't long of this world. what do you do once they;re gone ?
asciilifeform: nato and the bootlicks.
mircea_popescu: that you don't share a specific one does not mean you're incapable of having them. moreover, from experience, everyone gets his own, custom-tailored.

asciilifeform: what's the 'pressure' in question consist of ? folks being rounded up an' gassed ?
mircea_popescu: it's unclear whether, say, tmsr would currently be able to withstand the sort of pressure. i am however hopeful that by the time it has to, it will.
mircea_popescu: consequently, the only possible avenue, is the creation of STRONG small organisations.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the specifics, here's the core issues of the matter : want it or not, the world will come to rest randomly on the shoulders of tiny organisations. the fact that something like an obscure newspaper (50 or so people, on a good day) is made of the human equivalent of pressed shitboard will not, and does not, prevent the whole damned 5bn ton globe from landing on them.
