   Just in case you ever need this in the future..

   Actual wide-scale resistance groups operating under a repressive regime rarely look like what many movies have led you to believe.

   What they look like are a lot of normal people who maybe lose a document, maybe forget to latch a gate, maybe take a little longer to do a task than they would otherwise.

   It requires no command and control, no leaders, no connections to be compromised. For most, it is not the work of great measures, it is the thousand.. million.. cuts that grind the oppressor to a halt while never being something they can prove.

   Think less about secret handshakes, and more about an unfortunately bad case of ADHD at an inopportune time.

     If the simple sabotage handbook were written today, I'd imagine there would be an entire chapter on "Whoops, I fell for that phish."

     @ra6bit this is what people try to point out when they also talk about covert racism and other forms of oppression. Things suddenly go missing, take longer to do, are overlooked or completed in an inadequate way all for whatever reason someone can muster.

     Seeing to happen to an oppressor would be a sight indeed!

     Funny thing about fascist systems -

     the people who put them together never do proper analysis to make sure all the rules and controls they ostensibly implement actually work together.

     So following their directives to the letter is almost always counterproductive to their goals.

     And us ADHD folks, well, we do need our checklists to make sure we haven't forgotten anything.

     @munin @ra6bit malicious compliance is incredibly effective
