/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

We can! Everyone can take part in small acts of resistance. If you haven't already, the OSS (precursor to the CIA) circulated pamphlets in nazi-occupied countries to help ordinary citizens fight the nazis. Here it is if you're interested: Simple Sabotage Field Manual

Is there a modern version of this? I did a quick read through and, given our large surveillance network, some of these things aren't practical.

Also, unless you specifically target alt-right targets, the likelihood of collateral damage is pretty high.

Yeah, it's pretty dated, and some of it just doesn't work. If there's a newer version, it's probably classified. Though, the stuff in the back about office work and everyday type stuff still applies.

Really, I think it should be used as a starting point to start thinking about resistance. For example, although not specifically mentioned, an IT tech can "accidentally" misconfigure a service to make it unavailable. Similarly, if you're a straight white male, you can raise a pride flag or the flag of a Central American country. It's not illegal, and it can force a small amount of resources to be diverted to investigating you rather than a minority.

There are a million ways to creatively resist that also don't cause collateral damage. The goal is to sap their resources and morale.
