Going to need proof because a lot of whistle blower data in the past twenty years is from people quietly performing internal sabotage.
Ive linked it a few times. It's part of the CIA guide to sabotaging Fascism
Lots of idiots here who can't read and think you are supporting the CIA.
First of all let's go ahead and disabuse you of the notion that whistleblowing against corrupt corporations is the same as standing up to fascism. That's an absurd comparison.
What more proof do I need than the entire history of fascism? Where are these examples of fascism being brought down by internal destruction? In the history of fascism if it's not brought down by an external War then it lasts for decades. So I think the track record for your hypothesis is rather poor. Shouldn't you be the one providing proof? Proving that resisting fascism from within works?
The sad truth is that during fascist regimes a lot of people work for the fascist because it's easy. They're just cogs in the wheel. And staying a cog helps the wheel turn.
The CIA isnt protecting you from fascism. They are directly responsible for its continued existence.
Literally nobody said that, they just posted a sabotage manual that the CIA disseminated in 1944. It's very real and very useful. Nobody really cares that it was initially released by the CIA beyond its irony value.

Lol. The CIA guide to sabotaging fascism. The CIA. The organization that has aided and preserved fascism more than any other organization probably. Maybe MI6 deserves an honorable mention. There's a source I trust. Wow.
I really hope you're being mocked mercilessly every time you post that.
Maybe you can actually try reading it before judging it by its cover.
And we're all mocking you.
You keep on licking that boot. And justifying working for fascists.
I don't think they did that though...?
You should at least get your damn info correct. There are plenty of ways to critique it without demonstrating that you havent even read the damned cover. It was written by the office of strategic services, which was the precursor to the CIA. It was written for distribution to citizens within axis countries — you know, the fascist ones?!— to give them ideas for how to safely sabotage their own governments and industries. At least read the damn year, you loon.
Lol. I don't know where you got the idea that I didn't read the damn thing. That's partly why making fun of it so much. Cuz the oss, who had a history of helping Nazis flee justice so I don't know why you're invoking them like there's some kind of Paragons, was founded in 1942. We were already at War for 3 years. They weren't dropping this in 1933 to the bureaucrats were they? So explain to me again how this proves sticking around and working for Nazis helps? This manual endorsed by organizations that have never ended a fascist regime.
What are you people even talking about?
" I'm going to change the police department from the inside."
" I'm going to change the prison industry from the inside."
" I'm going to change the Nazi party from the inside."
Lmao
if you're talking about the US, then "we" were definitively not at war with the Nazis for three years at that point, nor had the OSS done anything paperclip-related at that point. You might need to get the part of your brain responsible for subtraction checked, because the united states went to war with Germany and Italy on December 11th, 1941. The OSS was founded 6 months afterward. This manual was created 2 years and 1 month after the US entered the war. Operation Paperclip would be put into effect about a year and a half later, when the US realised it was actually pushing into Germany, and there were a bunch of scientists with loose morals who could see which way the wind was blowing, and who were happy to tell them in which random mine shaft they hid all their rocketry research.
I actually tend to agree that the time for changing things from the inside has passed. I'm just annoyed at your apparent inability to comprehend numbers and their significance. Also, your refusal to even acknowledge that the whole purpose of the OSS at its inception was to infiltrate and fight the fascists. It's not some "Paragon", it's just what they were tasked with, and they did it.
the idea that the US Government had nothing to do with the end of a fascist regime after this thing was published is laughable, but I suppose it makes sense if you can't get your years straight. That must be very confusing for you.
as I said, there are so many ways that you can critique this thing that don't involve a fundamental misunderstanding of the operational goal of the US government during WWII. There are MANY problems with it, and it shows a fundamental lack of care for the safety of the saboteurs, since they were just random non-US citizens, and let nobody claim that the US government has ever given a fuck about the lives of individuals.
Read the actual guide, it's real and very useful. It was made during WW2, I believe, so while the US was still explicitly anti fascist
