Depending on the context, acquiescing and then not following orders can be quite effective as well, especially if you’re in a position of direct contact.

E.g., your supervisor instructs you to do something like take down the company DEI site? Say no, get fired… Or say yes, and just don’t do it. You forgot, it’s a cached version, etc. Eventually you have to take it down and then a month later when the site updates it’s back. Someone must’ve left it in the update package.

Be creative, be active. Anyone who wants to gaslight the world is owed nothing but deception and disrespect.

I can’t even fight back in self-defense because I’m not white and typically the other person is.

The system is stacked against me and the only possible approach is secret vigilante justice.

That’s pretty much how the talibangelicals operate. They disobey subpoenas and refuse to comply in various other ways, both petty and legal.

It’s effective at showing how powerless and spineless our authorities are, so fair enough to turn the tables.

A good example of this is the Rosenstraße Protest. Nazi Germany was unable to deal with popular pushback at height of Hitler’s totalitarian power at the literal center of repression.

They cannot be everywhere, but they’re certainly trying with ever-increasing surveillance and AI to go through all that data.

Good luck with that attitude in 1930/40s Germany or similar states. Fascist states have always dealt with this kind of people.
