The “fighting despite no formal recognition of being a soldier in a war that doesn’t officially exist” is the badass warrioring of the anons.
I hope history records information (inc bio/psycho) warfare as “first class” military ops and not merely an accessory or supporting role.
The absence of bombs and blood should not be confused with having an easy task. The psychological pressure of having loved ones brainwashed, weaponised, nanohacked, needle raped, and genetically murdered is intense.
This info militia will need special museums since it leaves behind few physical artefacts. I hope our stories can be captured contemporaneously; the “pro” historians are unlikely to be up to the job.
I'd say those of us involved have left digital footprints and trails all over the internet that should be archived and be loop played in the future war museums as the way to win without violence. All future generations need to learn that you can take down evil with words and determination.
