    It’s not malicious compliance when you’re helping the bad guys achieve their goal of destroying the federal government.

    That’s being a willing accomplice.

      Considering how many of the orders are being written by AI, there is probably a lot of maneuvering room to comply with the written letter while completely ignoring the spirit.

      The definition of sex, for example. Every single passport reads “F” from now on. Very malicious. Very compliant. Very much ignoring the spirit.

        There’s a ton of possibilities for malicious compliance so long as you still work for the federal government. But not if you quit!

      Leaving en masse would destroy the federal government quickly. Staying and continuing to work for this administration will destroy the federal government slowly less quickly.

      It’s just a matter of whether you want to be complicit in opposition to fascism or complicit in cooperation with fascism.

        Leaving the system means no one is in the system to report on what is going on in the system. Accelerationism won’t end how those people think it will. It’s just 100 years of Nazis until the world collapses in on itself and humanity is endangered or extinct.

          You’re right, we should do whatever we can to make sure it’s as many more years as possible of Nazis until the world collapses.

                Implied sarcasm rarely works online because the audience doesn’t know you well enough.

                  In an earlier comment that you replied to, I said

                  That should be clear enough.

                    I know, but too much time with those ML in 2024 going back and forth has made me distrust everyone. 🤷‍♂️
