  1. There is a balance to fighting back and protecting yourself. However, they want you to cower and hide. They want you to try and protect yourself by laying low and doing nothing, it gives them carte blanche. Where your grey rock comes into play is obfuscating or hiding your movements, do not broadcast your true intentions. They will not stop rooting out all dissent, if you do not comply they will come after you, and hiding will not help you. You have to be prepared to fight back, when the opportunity presents itself and you must choose the battlefield. Not in some futile gesture like in DC last week. This has been in schools, universities and businesses. I had to deal with this bullshit in the US military starting back in the 1980s. My method is to have the opponent underestimate me. Be innocuous, I look like an old fat guy, gray beard, hair and all. I dress so you cannot see the muscle, so I look fat. I wear things most people will overlook, loose fitting black T shirt (or hoodie this time of year), ball cap, jeans/carpenter pants, and quality work boots. I like redwings. I go the same direction with my vehicles that I like to race, you'd never know by looking at them that they haul ass. We call them sleepers. The whole speak softly but carry a big stick. You want to hide that big stick and only bring it out when you absolutely have to. Be unobtrusive, unremarkable, and wait for the opportunity to present itself. If you want to get around and not be noticed, a silver or white beater is your best bet, those are the most popular colors for daily drivers. That beige champaign color on grandma's Buick works well too... nobody notices my 1970 GTO while I have it painted that color. Its a 455 powered GTO and nobody notices it, because of the color. You do not want to be the brightly colored frogs... the green frogs that blend in are just as dangerous to their prey.

  2.  @BetterBachelor  precisely. This will not be decided by the timid nor the brash, it will be those capable of calculating, planning, removing emotion completely from the decision process, and making good decisions in a timely manner. Don't be LEEEROY JENKINS....and don't be Neville Chamberlain. There is an adage for soldiers. "Try to look unimportant, they might be low on ammo." and another good one is 'tracers work both ways'
