If Chicago Starts the War, Where Does It Spread?

Build the Resistance Network — Deepen Your Fight

You've got the foundation. Now it's time to go deeper. Add these 10 new tactics to your existing framework—no excuses, no hierarchy, just lethal clarity.

Expanded Resistance Blueprint

1. Form the Frontline: Gather people who can't be bought, caged, or co-opted. Know who they are.
2. Unite Under a Common Banner: Make this a shared fight—not a solo show.
3. Establish Local Command: Set up a non-elite council. No corporate puppets. Organic leadership.
4. Organize Information Ops: Track deployments, government moves, surveillance efforts. Archive it.
5. Disrupt Communication: Build secure, independent news flows. Cut the propaganda.
6. Institute Tactical Training: Train for stealth, escape, survival—today.
7. Plan Strategic Withdrawals: Map exit routes, hideouts, fallback zones.
8. Foster the Gray Area: Blur patterns, frustrate tracking, stay inscrutable.
9. Utilize Non-Corp Networks: Link with independent groups free from corporate corrosion.
10. Mobilize to the Streets: Organize low-level, unpermitted protests when it matters most.
11. Activate Mutual Aid with a Bonehead Twist: Share tools, skillsets, food, and emergency transport. No hierarchy allowed—just us helping us.
12. Deploy Tactical Urbanism: Graffiti exit signs, pop-up barricades, covert signage to mislead occupation forces.
13. Street-Level Satire Warfare: Use humor and absurdity—sticker campaigns, parody banners—to undermine fear and state narratives.
14. Crowdmapping Watch: Use open-source mapping tools to track troop convoys, checkpoints, and media blackouts.
15. Stealth Drop Points: Set up inconspicuous supply caches—gear, food, medical—in back alleys, community gardens.
16. Symbolic Code Language: Develop phrasecodes—“gray party on Hudson” means active threat; “black cat” means retreat. Train in its use.
17. Diversity of Tactics: Mix nonviolent action with disruptive resistance—blockades, sit-ins, sabotage, information flooding—to confuse the occupier.
18. Learn Civil Resistance Theory: Teach Gene Sharp-style methods: strikes, boycotts, subversion, coordinated silence—tactics proven to shatter authoritarian will.
19. Media Counter-Presence: Flood feeds with drone footage, live streams of state overreach. Expose it before they censor it.
20. Educate on History of Occupation: Teach your community real cases—Port Militarization Resistance, Stop Cop City—so they know resistance isn’t new, it's overdue.

TL;DR

• Build independent leadership and street-level power.
• Stay secretive, tactical, unpredictable.
• Use humor, mapping, stash routes, decentralized comms.
• Educate with history and deploy “demand tactics.”
• The state wants predictability. Deny it to them.

Your Move

Start training tonight.

Map one street for exits. Drop one sticker. Launch one secret stream. Teach a neighbor a code phrase.

This isn’t a checklist. It’s a war manual for the street.
