Linus Torvalds: 'I'll never be cuddly but I can be more polite'

Linus Confirmed for white nationalist Nazi, just doesn't want anyone to see him as such.

Linus sacrifices the political future of his entire legacy just to avoid sharing the same opinion a nazi might have*

Lord Tan's Thirty Six Strategems of War -- Related to Sun Tsu's Art of War.

Strategems When Commanding Superiority

瞒天过海 Deceive the heavens and cross the ocean: Mask your real goals with
a fake goal until your aims are achieved; the enemy will be so annoyed with
the constant false alarms that they will ignore you once you make your real
move. (This rule is also used as a Chinese idiom for "to pull the wool over
someone's eyes".)

围魏救赵 Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao: Avoid a head-on battle with a strong
enemy, and instead strike at his weakness (for example, a weaker ally)
elsewhere. The name came from Qi forcing Wei's army to retreat from laying
siege to Zhao's capital by laying siege to Wei's capital in 354-353BC.

借刀杀人 Kill With a Borrowed Knife: Cause damage to the enemy by getting a
third party to do the deed or causing an Enemy Civil War.

以逸待劳 Substitute Leisure for Labor: Have your troops well-prepared for
battle, in the same time that the enemy is rushing to fight against you,
ideally resulting in their exhausted troops running into your fresh
soldiers on the terms of your choosing.

趁火打劫 Loot a Burning House: The best time to attack an opponent is when
they have their own problems to deal with. Though he who loots a burning
house should be careful lest he become trapped inside.

声东击西 Clamor in the East, Attack in the West: Get the enemy to focus his
forces elsewhere, and then attack a position that would be weakly defended.

Stratagems for Confrontation

无中生有 Create Something from Nothing: Make somebody believe there was
something when there is in fact nothing, or vice versa (ie. lie like a rug).
The general idea is that having fallen for a trick once or twice, an enemy
will be unwilling to fall for your trick a third time - so that's when you
should actually attack.

暗度陈仓 Openly Repair the Walkway, but Sneak through the passage of
Chencang: Deceive the enemy with an obvious approach that will take a very
long time, while surprising him by taking a shortcut and sneaking up on him.
Another interpretation is the Kansas City Shuffle — Distract the enemy with
an "obvious" attempt at deception in order to conceal yet another ploy from
their attention.

隔岸观火 Observe the Fire from the Opposite Shore, or Sit on the Mountain and
Watch the Tigers Fight: Delay entering the field of battle until all the
other players have become exhausted fighting amongst themselves, then go in
at full strength and pick up the pieces.

笑里藏刀 Hide a Knife behind a Smile: Charm and endear yourself to your enemy.
When you have gained his trust, move against him in secret. (Also used as a
Chinese idiom for someone with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.)

李代桃僵 Sacrifice the Plum Tree to Preserve the Peach Tree: Sacrifice
short-term objectives in order to gain the long-term goal. (Peaches are
associated with immortality; see eg. Journey to the West.)

顺手牵羊 Take the Opportunity to Pilfer a Goat: While carrying out your plans,
be flexible enough to take advantage of any opportunity that presents
itself, however small, and avail yourself of any profit, however slight.
(This is also used as an idiom for Stealing from the Till or the
Five-Finger Discount.)

Stratagems for Attack

打草惊蛇 Beat the Grass to Startle the Snake: Do something without aim, but
make it so spectacular to provoke a response of the enemy, thereby giving
away his plans or position, or just taunt him. Do something unusual,
strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy's suspicion and
disrupt his thinking. However, an imprudent act will give your position or
intentions away to the enemy.

借尸还魂 Borrow a Corpse to Resurrect the Soul: Revive something from the
past by giving it a new purpose, or reinterpret it to your advantage.

调虎离山 Lure the Tiger Down From the Mountain: Lure an opponent away from
his field of advantage, thus separating him from his source of strength.

欲擒故纵 To Catch Something, First Set it Free: Cornered prey will often mount
a final Desperation Attack; to prevent this, you let the enemy believe he
still has a chance for freedom. May also take the form of a Trick-and-Follow
Ploy, where letting an enemy go and observing their subsequent actions may
give you more information about their capabilities and intentions.

抛砖引玉 Toss out a Brick to attract Jade: Bait someone by making him believe
he gains something or just make him react to it and obtain something
valuable from him in return.

擒贼擒王 To Capture the Bandits, capture their Leader: If the enemy's army is
strong but is allied to the commander only by money or threats, then take
aim at the leader; the rest of the army will disperse or come over to your
side. If, however, they are allied to the leader through loyalty, then
beware, the army can continue to fight on after his death out of vengeance.

Stratagems for Confused Situations

釜底抽薪 Steal the Firewood from under the Pot: Take out the leading argument
or asset of your target, denying your enemy the resources needed to oppose
you.

浑水摸鱼 Stir up the Waters to catch a Fish: Create confusion and use this
confusion to further your own goals.

金蝉脱壳 Slough off the Cicada's Golden Shell: Create an illusion to fit your
goals and distract others. (A secondary meaning for this rule would be
Faking the Dead.)

关门捉贼 Shut the Door to catch the Thief: If you have the chance to
completely capture the enemy then you should do so, thereby bringing the
battle or war to a quick and lasting conclusion.

远交近攻 Befriend a Distant State while attacking a Neighbour: When you are
the strongest in one field, your greatest threat is from the second
strongest in your field, not the strongest from another field, and thus the
distant neighbor will make a good ally, however temporary.

假道伐虢 Obtain Safe Passage to conquer the state of Guo: Borrow the
resources of an ally to attack a common enemy. Once the enemy is defeated,
use those resources to turn on the ally that lent you them in the first
place. This comes from Jin's conquest of the states of Guo and Yu by
bribing Yu's ruler to obtain a safe passage for Jin forces to conquer Guo
in 658BC. Without Guo's protection, Yu was then conquered by Jin in 655BC.

Stratagems for Gaining Ground

偷梁换柱 Replace the Beams with Rotten Timbers: Disrupt the enemy's
formations, interfere with their methods of operations, change the rules
which they are used to following, go contrary to their standard training.

指桑骂槐 Point at the Mulberry tree, but curse the Locust: To discipline,
control, or warn others whose status or position excludes them from direct
confrontation; use analogy and innuendo. Without directly naming names,
those accused cannot retaliate without revealing their complicity.

假痴不癫 Feign Madness but Keep your Balance: Hide behind the mask of a fool,
a drunk, or a madman to create confusion about your intentions and
motivations.

上屋抽梯 Lure them onto the Roof, then take away the Ladder: With baits and
deceptions, lure your enemy into treacherous terrain, then cut off his lines
of communication and avenue of escape; to save himself, he must fight both
your own forces and the elements of nature.

树上开花 Deck the Tree with False Blossoms: Through the use of artifice and
disguise, make something of no value appear valuable; of no threat appear
dangerous; of no use appear useful.

反客为主 Exchange the roles of Host and Guest: Usurp leadership in a
situation where you are normally subordinate. Infiltrate your target.
Initially, pretend to be a guest to be accepted, but develop from inside
and become the owner later.

Stratagems for Desperate Straits

美人计 The Beauty Trap: Send your enemy beautiful women to cause discord
within his camp. This strategy can work on three levels: First, the ruler
becomes so enamored with the beauty that he neglects his duties and allows
his vigilance to wane; second, other males at court will begin to display
aggressive behavior that inflames minor differences hindering co-operation
and destroying morale; third, other females at court, motivated by jealousy
and envy, begin to plot intrigues, further exacerbating the situation.

空城计 The Empty Fort Strategy: When the enemy is superior in numbers and
your situation is such that you expect to be overrun at any moment, then
drop all pretense of military preparedness and act calmly so that the enemy
will think you have hidden reserves and want to trap them into the fort.

反间计 Let the Enemy's own spy sow discord in the Enemy camp: Undermine your
enemy's intelligence-gathering abilities by using his own spies against him
or planting your own agents among his.

苦肉计 Injure yourself to gain the Enemy's trust: Pretending to be injured
has two possible applications. In the first, the enemy is lulled into
relaxing his guard since he no longer considers you to be an immediate
threat. The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by
pretending the injury was caused by a mutual enemy.

连环计 Chain Stratagems: In important matters, one should use several
stratagems applied simultaneously after another as in a chain of stratagems.
Keep different plans operating in an overall scheme; however, in this manner
if any one strategy fails, then the chain breaks and the whole scheme fails.

走为上计 If all else fails, Retreat: The best battle is one fought with your
side never having to mobilize, but if it becomes obvious that your current
course of action will lead to defeat, then retreat and regroup.
