This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.
I think that's something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can't feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city's flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said "Well, that's just a souvenir from our daughter."
