#uncivil obedience

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

civil disobedience is great and all but have you considered uncivil obedience. weaponize malicious compliance. weaponize your pedantic tendencies.

Remember that cyclist who followed the laws of the road and bike lanes strictly, which ended up with him hurting himself repeatedly to prove a point? He had the right idea.

My favorite protest tactic ever is “uncivil obedience”.

Instead of proving your point by calmly breaking the law, you prove it by obeying the law in the most insufferable, smartass way possible.

Like protesting a 55 MPH highway speed limit by driving exactly 55 miles per hour on the highway.

Or American Airlines pilots sending in a flood of technically-necessary maintenance forms.

Or zealously enforcing obnoxious laws to draw attention to how much they should be repealed.

There’s a whole article here and it’s wonderful.
