I would have titled this: How to win whilst making enemies, losing friends and coming across as a total nut job to any rational observer.

Many of the things on this list seem very common to me. As such, it seems the strategems don't make someone look like a total nut job, or... the pool of rational observers is smaller than rational observers think.

Definitely make enemies and lose friends, but based on my experience, also make some other friends and gain other allies.

Personally these remind me of the banter used by Donald Trump throughout his Presidency. Annoying.
