Chapter 3 - Advanced Abuse Techniques
Now that you have mastered the basics, it's time to take your bureaucratic abuse game to the next level. In this chapter, we'll cover the most diabolical techniques used to tie your opponents in knots.
Technique 1: The Art of Redundancy
- Repeat, repeat, repeat. Never stop repeating the same question, the same answer, and the same excuse.
- Cite the same irrelevant regulation for every occasion.
- Use the phrase "We're just following procedure" as a shield to deflect any criticism.
Technique 2: The Power of Passive-Aggressive Language
- Use phrases like "I'm just trying to help" to mask your true intentions.
- Make sure to use words with double meanings, like "convenience" when really you're just trying to inconvenience others.
- Claim that your actions are "just a formality" when really you're just trying to formalize your abuse.
Technique 3: The Bureaucratic Loop
- Create a never-ending loop of forms, meetings, and reports.
- Make sure each loop is more complicated than the last, until your victim is exhausted.
- Use buzzwords like "synergy" and "paradigm" to confuse and intimidate your opponent.
