With the U.S. government now in total control of a political party ....
The quoted text means that the government controls the party. I believe what you mean to say is "With the US government now totally controlled by a political party ...."

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

Thx. Fixed. Posted this while multi-tasking.
(> b) Managers and Supervisors
(1) Demand written orders.
(2) “Misunderstand” orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.
(7) Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not visible to the naked eye.
(9) When training new workers, give incomplete or misleading instructions.
(10) To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.
(11) Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
(12) Multiply paper work in plausible ways.
sounds like your average management
The OSS has a similar manual. This one may even be just a rebranding of the same thing. Essentially how to be a super shitty employee.
My favorite part was going to meetings and saying to think things over and wait until next meeting to finalize anything and use proper procedure no matter what. The idea is to make even the smallest most obvious decisions a bueaucratic slog. Shitty management and office politics 101
Its also 80 years out of date.
If you want a government document more recent that can help with communications against a fascist government I recommend The Homing Pigeon, War Department January 1945.
All our devices are listening. Big Brother is Watching You.
Fighting fascism is timeless.
I browsed through it and most of it is still applicable.
Sure, and I like the spirit.
But also, drones which are highly capable can be bought for as little as $300.
All of the worlds knowledge of chemistry is immediately available to you.
Even the cheapest shittiest phone has what would have been military grade GPS 20 years ago.
There are published manuals from the US army on improvised munitions too.
And it hasn't been tampered with, unlike a certain cookbook.
I like the subtle enthusiasm.
Here's the link: https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/the-art-of-simple-sabotage/
Maybe you want to think for a moment before clicking. I think it's relatively harmless information. But visiting the CIA's website will get your IP address into their server logs.
Thanks for the comment. It clued me in to the fact that the thumbnail image I uploaded replaced the link I had to the manual at gutenberg.org. It's fixed now. No IP tracking from Gutenberg.
Also should point out that we're moving into a political climate in the U.S. where everyone should have a VPN and use it whenever possible.
Or use the onion network wherever possible: https://www.torproject.org/
After all a VPN requires trust in the VPN provider wheres using TOR only requires trust in the design and knowledge about its limitations
