STEP 2: WITHSTANDING SUBVERSION
Subversion is particularly deadly because it can't be directly fought. Rather than trying to stop a man with a hammer trying to break down a wall of bricks, you have to stop somebody from removing' the wall brick-by-brick when you're not looking. The key part here is when you're not looking''.
The first thing you must do is be vigilant. This seems like such an obvious statement, but it is absolutely true. Look for patterns, look for repetition - knowing the methods one will employ for subversion will help you in passively identifying this kind of attempt at a glance. Remember, these "people" use subversion because they lack conventional power. They cannot use conventional methods of violence (yet). Therefore, their methods always revolve around their victims not being aware of their actions. The knife that cannot be thrust into your heart will instead find its way into your back, should it be turned.
Next, you must stand strong - promote something that is truly good. It doesn't have to be anything specific - but you must promote and give strength to something which you believe to truly be righteous and good, with full awareness that you are being subverted. Think of it like maintaining a wall that is crumbling under the efforts of the thief stealing its bricks. As one user put it, you must be excellent, and inspire excellency.
More than just simply "doing good things", however, is consistency. Retain a proper sense of what you are doing, and inspire your community to do the same. Chaos is often a major symptom of subversion, and order is the antithesis of this. Have regular, habitual, or even ritual acts that can maintain a sense of community. Remember, kampfy and his cohorts banned these.
Lastly, you must not waiver in your fight against the saboteur. Their numbers are few. If they had many, they would not need to rely on subversion. Take the fight to them - make as much effort to remove that which is attempting to remove YOU. However, this must be done privately. Don't make a show about it - never boast about what may seem to others as a snipe hunt. Think of it as somebody who wants to murder you trying to enter your home. Instead of letting them run away by alerting them you know they're there, lull them into a false sense of security. If they are able to get away when you are looking, they will be more careful and will come around when you are not looking. Don't let them know you're onto them. Take action, and make it as swift as possible.
