The opposite of strategy is not the absence of strategy, rather it is tragedy such that ways are found of using available means to achieve undesirable ends. People use what they have to get what they don’t want or arrive where they don’t want to be or shape a future they didn’t want. When all the available means necessary to accomplish something good are used to accomplish something bad, this is tragic, not strategic.

Get the Tragedymug. The industry that wants control of all sides of the story, therefore the media claims to tell all sides of the story and be on everyone's side.
What the media and grief/tragedy/sympathy industry won't tell people is how on their own they really are, and how the industry doesn't give a fuck about them, it's a machine that depends on them to keep running.

Get the Grief/tragedy/sympathy industrymug. In a traditional tragedy, all of the characters die at the end but in a shit tragedy like the Fall of the United States, no one is dying so the horrible story isn't over and the damage continues.

Get the Shit tragedymug. A term for track and field runners, implying they are overly dramatic, weak, and lack the competitiveness of real athletes, embodying a sense of failure and insignificance in the sports world
"After watching the race, I couldn't help but think of him as a trackside tragedy, all show and no substance"

Get the Trackside tragedymug. Hym "Nonononono, the carry part is THIS: The news anchor starts by saying 'TRAGEDY AVERTED' Beyonce almost got hit by a stray bullet! Do you know WHY Beyonce didn't get hit!? Because a passerby TOOK THE BULLET TO THE HEAD! HOW IS THAT A TRAGEDY AVERTED!? MORE LIKE 'TRAGEDY DEFERED!' WOW BRO! That is fucking WILD! They said she would have took it in the arm or shoulder if it would have hit her so... It would have been BETTER if she got hit! I don't know if the passerby is dead but I ASSUME they are but yeah. TRAGEDY AVERTED! Somebody took a bullet for Beyonce (who wouldn't have died if she had taken it herself). Crazy!"

Get the Tragedy Avertedmug. Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.
People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.
