- Stand in elections as an "Anti Civilization" candidate. Talk to potential voters about how meaningless elections are.
- If someone calls you "sir" or "madam", or any other word of subservience, ask them not to. Talk to them using first names.
- If you are in a hierarchical organisation, encourage everyone to question the authority of the levels "above" them. Explain that it is always the people lower down the chain that suffer most from authority.
- Give produce and other home made foods away that you have a surplus of, rather than throw it away, even to people you barely know.
- Set up a food sharing scheme in your local area to help undermine the large scale distribution networks. Have meetings and discuss self-sufficiency in general.
- Set up or help promote a Freecycle network, or other household item giveaway scheme.
- Get together with other parents and set up a community home school: educate the children in the things they need for the future, not the things the Machine thinks they should know.
- Offer to run nature talks and foraging workshops for schools; tell the children about the real world vs. the commercial world, while you are doing them.
- Seedbomb places, even if they are not derelict or run down -- seeds get to all sorts of places.
- It only takes a few seconds to sabotage water sprinkler systems in public areas and especially golf courses. Try doing this at the same time as seeding drought-tolerant indigenous "weeds".
- Relabel museum exhibits to reflect the true history of Empire, Colonialism and Explotation. Also, add "Still to Come" labels to natural history exhibits, with the names of threatened species.
- Use hazard warning tape (available from lots of suppliers) to mark off car parks, entrances and any other commercial or government access route. It's amazing how accepting people are of simple "security" measures
- When friends and family start talking about what they have recently bought, especially non-essential goods, talk about what you didn't buy, thereby reversing the normal civilised assumption that it is a good thing to buy consumer goods.
- If you ever find yourself near to where an outside broadcast is taking place -- especially those involving greasy politicians, corporate executives or broadcasters who like to put a negative spin on "bad" protests that break the law -- "accidentally" trip over their cables or into their equipment, thus disrupting the broadcast. You can claim it was a trip hazard.
- Similarly, in similar circumstances, just make a nuisance of yourself, jumping up and down, holding bits of paper up with contrary messages, walking in front of the interviewee: in a public place there is nothing a broadcaster can do to stop you.
- Set up a press briefing, posing as your target of choice (such as an oil company executive, lobby group representative or economic adviser, anyone fairly nondescript), and then brief the press in a way that entirely undermines your alter-ego's normal stance. Alternatively, make statements that even more unethical than those of your alter-ego, but still credible.
