The screws don’t even reach through the drywall?

There are a wide variety of exotic materials with exceptional strength and/or toughness. I think Graphene would have similar characteristics, if it could be formed into the weapons we see on screen.

Syncthing

Self-hosted. Open source. Your data stays on your own devices. Creates a shared folder on your laptop and your phone. Move a file into that folder on your laptop, and syncthing pushes it to your phone.

Well, we’re pissing off the right people.

Everyone forgets the next line:

But if you try sometime, you’ll find you get what you need.

It’s a little clunky, but KryptEY is an on screen keyboard that can encode/decode messages. The encoded messages can be transmitted over any service.

OP is asking how to prevent abusers from seeing OPs content.

“Blocking” the abuser prevents OP from seeing the abuser’s content. “Blocking” does not prevent the abuser from seeing and interacting with OP’s content.

“Blocking” does not achieve OP’s objective.

You’re assuming that literally every workplace is a surveillance panopticon.

Relative to the degree of surveillance possible when the sabotage handbook was written, “every” workplace is, indeed, a surveillance panopticon.

We have developed and propagated a wide variety of tools for identifying, tracking, and eliminating the kind of production inefficiencies contemplated by the Simple Sabotage manual. The degree of accountability a modern worker faces is several orders of magnitude greater than that of the 1940’s worker. Even the smallest businesses now have access to logistical and accounting systems and services that couldn’t possibly exist back then.

I didn’t “assume” this level of surveillance. That degree of surveillance is a simple fact.

Never worked in a motor pool or warehouse, i see

Both, actually.

This discussion stems from these comments:

What if i stayed, acting like i worked but not really doing anything? Blocking a Nazis spot, taking my salary out of their budget. Maybe even sabotaging. Lets all do that, collectively. Covering eachother by telling how good a job we are doing and so on…

and

he Simple Sabotage Field Manual actually has a lot of recommendations for this. Here’s a part of it, just to give you an idea (in a spoiler block because it’s loooooong)

The premise here is “keep going to work, but do more harm than good”. If you get caught, you fail. If you get fired, you fail. If you are unable to cause greater harm than you produce, you fail. Meanwhile, the value of your labor (the job you have to keep doing to maintain your cover) is 6 to 10 times more valuable than that of your great grandfather. You’re producing 6 to 10 times as much as him; you need to be able to negate a commensurate amount of production, and you need to do it in a much more closely supervised environment. You have to do far more to look like a good employee, and in doing so, you’re setting the example for other workers to also look good at their jobs.

Sure, anyone can overtly sabotage a motor pool or warehouse and cause damage far in excess of a worker’s productivity. But that breaks the premise of the discussion. We aren’t talking about overt. We are talking about covert acts. We are talking about a long-term inside job.

The kind of sabotage conceived of in the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a pipe dream 80 years later. It is not feasible. The harm a typical worker can expect to cause a modern enemy is a fraction of the productivity that enemy can continue to extract from that worker.

That would be terrible for their recruiting metrics.

Well, it’s a story that glorifies cops, and it completely fails to mention ACAB.

You brought the guillotine into it, not I. I said nothing of the sort. You conflated “responsibility” with “deserving of the guillotine”. I did not. I did not speak of punishment at all.

My point was and is that Hitler and Trump can’t do a thing without the support of the populace. Hitler didn’t build an oven. He never stacked a brick. He never set a rivet in a V2 missile. He never scrubbed a toilet for anyone who did. Each of these individual tasks was trivial; the sum total of all those trivialities was the Holocaust.

Do not let yourself believe that your own trivial contribution to fascism is meaningless. Take personal responsibility for your actions. “I was just trying to get by” is condemnation, not absolution.

So you’re more responsible?

Yep! “I” being the entire consumer class that created all of the billionaires. I feel I was pretty clear about that. You were well aware of that when you suggested that “I” should face the guillotine. That was your dishonesty.

Hitler had no power without the support of the German people. “But he was a dictator!” Dictators have no power without the support of the people. When the people laugh at him and call him an idiot, he’s not a dictator. He’s just some random dickhead yelling at the clouds. He was only a dictator because people followed his dictates.

Your argument was that Hitler’s janitor wasn’t responsible for the holocaust; that his Nazi role was trivial. The sum totality of all those “trivial” Nazi roles is what gave us the holocaust.

Now you’re just being intellectually dishonest.

No, I’m not on the list. Hitler’s janitor wasn’t on the list. Guillotining Hitler’s janitor wouldn’t have stopped the Holocaust. Hitler’s janitors refusing to go to work would have. Hitler’s janitors guillotining Hitler would have. Guillotining me and the rest of the consumer class won’t solve the problems we created.

Take some personal responsibility.

In 1930s Germany? Here’s a shortlist of candidates.

Are you more responsible for capitalism than Elon Musk?

The consumer class is responsible not just for making Musk a billionaire, but also Bezos, Zuckerberg, Brin, Arnault, Ballmer, all of the Waltons… The most accurate answer to your question is “Yes”, I am indeed more responsible for capitalism than Elon Musk.

And cameras. And keycards. And computer logs. And forensics. Try to sabotage something big enough to matter, and management can identify you in a heartbeat. That’s the end of your resistance.

The overwhelming majority of us can cause a far greater loss of productivity by simply not showing up for work than through surreptitious sabotage. That just wasn’t true when “this stuff” was written.

Hitler had no power whatsoever without the will of the German populace.

It was the sum total of all the trivial efforts - like those of that janitor - that gave us the Holocaust.

That manual was published in 1944, when significant workplace malfeasance could be readily concealed. A worker in that time could easily hamper far more production than they were forced to produce to maintain their cover.

With modern workplace supervision, surveillance and record keeping designed specifically to identify and eliminate such “inefficiencies”, our modern saboteur cannot hope to achieve results anywhere close to those of his great-grandfather. The amount of production he has to achieve to maintain his cover greatly exceeds the loss of production from his efforts. Your great grandfather could throw a wrench in the gears and play dumb; you’ll be caught and prosecuted if you try the same, so you have to resort to less effective efforts.

With such extensive workplace surveillance in place, every worker in a unit can be a “saboteur”, and productivity from that unit can still be positive. They can churn out production even with every single worker actively trying to slow it.

Better for our would-be saboteur to resign. He sets the example for his former co-workers, while also saddling them with his work. His absence damages unit productivity more than he could achieve through active sabotage.

The tactics you are recommending are about 60 years out of date.

You can discover who is doing it with Lemvotes

But no, you can’t block them. Here in the real world (as opposed to the dystopian centralized platforms that have largely supplanted public discourse), it is not possible to isolate a specific individual and deny them access to information provided freely to the rest of the general public.

Should their public engagement rise to the level of harassment, there are legal options you can take to compel their restraint. But downvoting everything you do does not rise to such a level.
