Imagine a fascist dealing with a hungry cat. ‘Why won’t they stop?’ they’d mutter, clutching their classified documents. They’d probably try to distract the cat with meaningless platitudes—‘Can’t you wait a little longer? We’re working on a feeding plan! It’ll be ready in two weeks!’—only to find that cats, much like the rest of us, don’t fall for empty promises.

"When dealing with oppressive systems, this feline tactic becomes even more powerful. It's hard to vilify someone who seems harmless, adorable even.

"Even when (cats) grudgingly wear a collar, they'll spend every waking moment plotting its removal. You can practically hear them thinking, Oh you believe this little pink band of oppression will stop me?

Now imagine a cat leaping onto that desk, locking eyes with them, and slowly, ever so deliberately batting their favorite pen onto the floor. That's the energy you need to channel." - Chapter 3, Knock Things Over Strategically

"Fascists thrive on predictability because their entire system is built on the illusion of control. They like to imagine themselves as chess masters, but in reality, they're more like toddlers playing checkers, eating more pieces than they move and insisting the rules change whenever they're losing." - Chapter 1
