That is not the scenario I described, but it is imaginative. I’ll give you that.
Here, let an old chinese guy explain it to you…
“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Or as I like to paraphrase it “Don’t give anyone the fight they came looking for. Give them a different fight”.

The problem you’re missing though is that you’re assuming there’s only one way of fighting business-to-business, straight head on. There are other ways.
For example, a grassroots guerrilla warfare style business approach can be done, versus just a straight head-to-head combat, business-wise.

Failing that, guillotines are a very fun game indeed.
There’s no need to insinuate/promote actual violence. The center will not hold if everyone is trying to tear each other’s throats out.
Now go be dumb somewhere else.
And there’s no need to insult others just to promote yourself and your opinions, that just turns people off to listening to your ideas and what you’re trying to say.
I guess the only smart thing to do is to track you down and murder your whole family. In case you’re wondering, this is what an insane overreaction would look like.
You’re a psychopath, this isn’t an actual war, and you’re not doing a good machiavelli.
Even Von Clausewitz understood the continuum of conflict between politics and hostilities, you just seem like a neckbeard who wants to go mall ninja.

Wow, you just insulted me.
