I love that my phone wants me to tag the little Fidel.lol.
By no means am I saying you should find 10 people and kick shit off, but take these two pieces of media into consideration and ask yourself what sort of role you may have to play in the coming years. What skills do you have, what skills might be necessary? Acquire them, hone them. Prepare for the world as it is, not what you wanted it to be.
Look at how other resistance movements and folk heros operated under their fascist regimes. One of my personal favorites is Lucio Urtubia.

Other thoughts to consider:
Shit like that. How can you be a thorn in the side of fascism?
Thank you comrade! Really appreciate the thoughtful response and links.
Welcome. It's a topic I think about a lot.
Remember, it's not illegal to suck at your job, and if you don't say anything critical of the regime, or talk about this kind of thing, you can slow down the economy or even directly slow down the war machine by slowing down whatever it is your employer does. Misplace parts and tools if you maintain equipment. Misfile paperwork and create duplicate files with part of the information each, if you handle data. Make typos that introduce confusion ("miximum" is a personal favourite of mine). Abuse protocol to slow things down over minor issues. Don't do anything monumentally stupid or obviously on purpose, but make little mistakes and accidents anyone could make while tired, distracted, or just half assing a shitty job, a few times a day. Remember, what's more likely to the people who view low level workers as expensive idiots and not real human beings? That everyone who screws up their important job is a saboteur, or that underpaid idiots are underpaid idiots and governments and corporations get what they pay for and sometimes the guy who makes minimum wage and gets zero training is going to fuck up?

That site is excellent. Tons of the original SSM, especially under Office Work, still very much works, but this is sorely needed and I'm glad it exists. I especially like the suggestions regarding dead batteries. I love that so much of this is as simple and petty as leaving the caps off the markers. At worst you'll be thought of as an inconsiderate jerk if a co worker sees you do it "carelessly", and yet, every man hour wasted by certain enterprises hurts the regime you're fighting.
