It's not for you; it's for people who are forced to work for an occupant. During WW2 the CIA actually published a manual for this specific purpose; it's declassified and available here:

I'm quite sure this one is a joke. But yeah, the other one may have been that thing you said (or may have been a joke too, I don't think even the CIA knows by now).


Why on earth do people think this is a joke? How else would you recommend people working in adversarial organizations slow them down?


> How else would you recommend people working in adversarial organizations slow them down?

This exact same way. I just don't expect people to recommend slowing down adversarial organizations on the clear, in the public internet.

But then, if you are fighting an unstoppable tyrannical force with superhuman powers, I wish you luck and hope you find the techniques here harmless enough. Maybe there is a better source somewhere with pros and cons of each action, but I don't know how to find it. Either way, I think whoever created this site did so as a joke, so second-guess anything you see here.


> But then, if you are fighting an unstoppable tyrannical force with superhuman powers

Huh? Who mentioned anything even close to this descriptor?
