Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

Direct link to the book (without the backref):

I don’t spot the difference between this and how most modern day corporations are operated:

  • “To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
  • “Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”

My company has been fighting fascism this whole time. Wow!

This sounds like how the federal government is operating from the top down as of this year.

I was expecting something subtle, some sort of resistance from within type stuff.

Warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels, and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire.

Not so much.

Can this be applied to ICE? Where are they staying in your city? Where are they keeping their trucks and gear? Where does it come from? Where is their dispatch? When ICE arrests someone, what’s the logistics chain to get the person away from your city?

Proof that CIA knows what the cure for fascism is, and yet chooses not to ever since Reagan.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

So many countries ended up with fascist autocrats with the help of the CIA. Way before Reagan.

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The CIA was created to protect capital interests while pretending it's for the American people... They are like the heart of global fascism. Them and the federal reserve banking system.

Capital Interest Administration lmfaooo

The cure was disabling fascism long enough to let it get conquered by not-fascism.

But that doesn't work in the USA because we will get conquered by More-Fascism.

[–] Yodan@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The truth is that the south has perfected the art of double speak and gets away with saying horrid dog whistles for 40+ years and then blushes and puts their finger on their chin and goes "whoooo, meeee?" when it's called out for what it is in plain English. "I wouldn't feel responsible if anything happened to Fauchi" while simultaneously calling him evil the devil wicked china virus and then removing a security detail. But because Trump didn't explicitly say "I hope harm comes to Fauchi and you should get him" it doesn't count. It's bullshit and everyone knows it.

One political party has played by the rules while the other rewrites their language and erodes their purpose and claims that party 1 doesn't play by the rules enough. Moving goalposts.

Democrats will always fight over the rules while Republicans are busy changing the game and watching everyone catch up too late.

Remember when reading this that it was written for a time long past. There are cameras and other electronic tracking everywhere now. Even if you can avoid detection, much of the methodology described here just doesn't apply to modern machines, telecommunications, and other systems.

But read it all anyway. (It's not that long.) The mindset you will need to employ is plainly communicated and remains valid today. Be observant, be creative, be careful, and !resist@fedia.io.

The modern approach for grinding everything to a halt is to push for migration to M365 in your workplace.

For a more modern take, there are other repositories in a similar vein: https://specificsuggestions.com/share/EN/9836.html

Some are very simple and excusable for the average office worker

Use manual page numbers, so they have to be readjusted when page order changes

Crimp (damage by bending) the Ethernet cables

Send email content as images rather than as text

Hell yeah! This is great! I'm glad I'm not the only one sharing it around to friends and neighbors. True resistance is not the flashy stuff; it's a whole of society approach to stop fascists in their tracks. True resistance is the sum total of small acts to inconvenience and impede a fascist.

I was all set to get it when I realized I already downloaded it last week.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder what the purge at our intelligence agencies will be like. They were never good agencies, they did a lot of shitty stuff, but they did it because "America". Now that the Chief Cheeto is in charge, who has insulted the USIC on many occasions, and cozies up to dictators and Nazis, there have to be a not insignificant number of USIC people that want nothing to with Combover in Chief, so they'll get the boot to be replaced with some jackbooted NKVD Commissariat trump sycophants.
