Thanks for your input! That’s fair enough. My main point was that (in my opinion) trying to undermine ineffectual systems is a losing strategy no matter the context. Not only is it likely to harm innocent people who might be caught up within the same system(s), it immediately makes one a target for those trying to preserve the status quo.
More specifically, my personal intention is simply to help everyone stay safe and to meet their needs in constructive ways, while also trying to avoid the break out of “civil war” and the implementation of “martial law” in the process…Should we also consider the source of the document? Does that alphabet org specialize in “proxy wars,” getting other people to do their “dirty work” for them? 
I will take a moment to try to clear up any confusion about my post…
To elaborate on the first paragraph:
So, if not “fighting against” something, what approach do I recommend instead? Find the weak points and redirect them towards constructive ends if you are in a position to do so, or preserve what works and build anew if you cannot. For example, what’s still left of those DEI methods within that government GitHub should be backed up and used as a reference for building effective and equitable mutual aid networks for the most vulnerable populations which are outside of government control. A lot of people just got a taste of what happens when important public programs (e.g.: food assistance like WIC and SNAP, medical assistance like CHIP and Medicaid, educational grants, etc.) grind to a halt from the brash decisions of a few. What are we going to do when those currently in “power” (or someone else who has a totalitarian itch) start irreversibly undermining or breaking things necessary for everyone’s survival (not only infrastructure like basic utilities and emergency communication networks, but also the environmental factors that allow for ecological stability)?..I mean that has already been happening, but it seems to be increasing in frequency and ratcheting up in intensity as the “dinosaurs” go into their death throes…No resistance needed…
To elaborate on the next two paragraphs:
I made several historical analogies that I thought were useful and relevant, but perhaps it would be more prudent to offer some conjecture on what I think the “end goal” of the current events are instead. I will put it bluntly…
Content Warning: A general look at long-term trends in technological development and U.S. culture that seem to be converging towards a dystopian scenario...This is NOT shared to be discouraging or accusatory, but simply an attempt to get a sober-minded view of the trajectory of society (both online and off) for the purposes of brainstorming methods to heal without trying to resort to violence...
The strategy implemented by Musk to hollow out Twitter is similar to the one being implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to hollow out government jobs through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Why? Look at the connections between Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, and Curtis Yarvin.

All of it is being rationalized as an “inclusive” solution to all of the world’s problems or as an “inevitable” result of the “technological singularity” through various ideas like “corporate social responsibility”, “the fourth industrial revolution”, “social impact investing”, “effective accelerationism”, “transhumanism”, and so on. People are getting “future shocked”, overwhelmed by the speed of changes and the glut of “noise” surrounding us, instead of seeing it for what it is.
In actuality, it is all simply a front for “full-spectrum dominance” / “technofeudalism” / “IT-backed authoritarianism”…a “technocratic” dystopia that will eventually lead to a “world in chains” scenario. To make an analogy, it is Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Brave New World.
Meanwhile, it seems as if Trump is attempting to appeal to both the “patriotic Christian conservatives” and the “Neo-Nazi/KKK alt-right,” so that they can act as the “useful idiots” to bring that plan to fruition within the NATO states. Note that “radicalization pipelines” usually attempt to convert the former into the latter by preying on their insecurities and appealing to their prejudices [*see other post]. This is not necessarily a criticism of anyone who identifies with those labels, but a genuine plea that everyone become aware of the spirit that is driving the things around them. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” What are our own motivations aligned with?
“Poverty is violence” because if someone can keep another from having access to what they need to survive, then they are effectively committing violence against them. Of course, defend yourself if it comes down to a “life or death” situation, but please do not try to fight violence with more violence. Rebellion almost always leads to more tyranny. Instead, create and protect what benefits everyone, none excluded. Peace is the only lasting way out of our predicament(s).
To elaborate on the final three paragraphs:
I tried to give a highly simplified breakdown of the process by which organizations become corrupted towards carrying out violence, which can be extended into a psychosocial description of how “mobs” suffering from a “victim mentality” can be directed by “authoritarians” with “dark triad” characteristics into doing their bidding. I’ve touched upon some of this within other posts as well. Collectively speaking, we need to start healing from and transitioning out of that type of thinking if we want to survive.
The “walls of text” that I’ve been posting here (and adjacent spaces) have been attempts to address some of these social issues by using the links and posts that others have been making as bridges into dialoguing about it. It’s a catch-22 though: They are more likely to be skipped over when they are too long, or completely misunderstood when they are too short. Either way, I think it is worthwhile having the research available somewhere for those who are working towards similar goals (i.e.: trying to meet everyone’s needs in constructive ways). Still only scratching the surface here…
These are excellent examples (definitely more meaningful to me than the ones given within the article), but I also think that people seem to be quick to destroy what is not fully understood (“Chesterton’s fence”).
Therefore, each of them has many contributing factors that should be untangled in order to find more effective approaches instead. Shall we try to address each of them in turn?
Edit: I put part of the post behind a spoiler with a content warning. Honestly, I don’t know what aspect of the post was deemed “inappropriate” to the topic at hand so it is a bit difficult to figure out what may need reconsideration or why. I also don’t know what it is like when you flag a post, but features could be added to help mitigate that (e.g.: requiring that the one doing the flagging needs to highlight the “offending” portion, or make an anonymous note why they feel the need to flag it, or select from a drop-down menu an option that indicates what part of the posting guidelines are being violated, etc.). In other words, I’ve gotten no feedback (other than the thoughtful replies by frugalgamer).
I genuinely do not want to be insensitive to other people’s concerns despite the seriousness of the subject matter of the conversation (i.e.: an article about the recent surge in popularity of a document that literally describes how to crumble an organization from within for the purposes of warfare by using a variety of methods that could cause oneself and/or others serious harm - arson, booby trapping electrical systems and heavy machinery, etc.).
The U.S. seems to be going through a volatile situation, and following most of the suggestions within the guide is likely to perpetuate and/or exacerbate the problems. Again, I’m personally interested in peacemaking and helping others to meet their needs in constructive ways, not escalation. Dialogue done in good faith helps.
