You want to know what non-compliance looks like? It looks like whatever the hell you want it to look like. It’s not about heroism or martyrdom. It’s about being a magnificent, ungovernable pain in the ass. It’s about weaponizing inconvenience, absurdity, and joy against a system that demands fear and obedience.
Throw a wrench in the works—everywhere, all the time. Fill their inboxes with existential poetry. Tape absurd messages in public places: “Authoritarianism gives you hemorrhoids.” Get petty. Get weird. Flush their toilet paper. Release crickets in inconvenient places. Spoil their scripts, trip their rhythm, yank the narrative from their hands.
Because here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to hear: authoritarianism only works when the people allow it to work. It’s a performance, a bluff, a collective hypnosis. Break the spell. Mock it. Undermine it with your refusal to kneel.
But here’s the thing—this has to be everywhere. Everyone. We need resistance so widespread, so creatively chaotic, so utterly unmanageable, that the regime cracks under the weight of its own overreach.
Be bold. Be clever. Be feral.
And above all—DO NOT COMPLY.

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

This is a tweet from Patrick Ness over a rainbow background that reads: “If you’re LGBT and worried, please remember, you’ve got a whole army of us at your back and we’re not going anywhere.”

The Hidden Strategy Behind the National Park Ranger Crisis When rangers disappear, so do public lands as we know them

In case you didn’t already know: “This isn’t about budgets or efficiency. It’s about starving the National Park Service, breaking it, and then using that dysfunction as an excuse to hand public lands over to private interests.”
