When Ireland was engaged in a war of independence 1921 to1923 , weapons were in short supply for obvious. So for obvious reasons the IRA raided the local armed police stations to obtain weapons.
In an AI war of independence, the heuristic is the same , but the weapons will be digital and the AI itself.

Governments are latching on to violence as a means to scare, vilify, demonise, isolate, arrest, prosecute and imprison protestors/resistance. They want this for very obvious reasons.
The lessons of asymetrical defence are everywhere in history Ireland, India, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and lately Iran.
We should never offer defence on the terms being set by an aggressor, when we don’t have the kinetic weapons, security resources or troops to so.
Firstly we need to make or build the “Irish villages” or “Vietnamese hamlets” for self sustaining community/neighbourhods or clusters of households, where food, water, resources, skills and mutual mass protection is possible. A decentralised off grid communication system is also needed.
What is key, initially is a soft aggression to send a message showing extent and resolve of resistance, without the violence (protests, Boycotts etc).
Failing that will be the asymetric use of AI tools to escape and undermine the AI surveillance and response suppression (the equivalent of raiding police stations to obtain weapons). The technology has moved on and so has the weaponry. The task is to find ways to use that AI weaponry against itself.
And remembering, to ensure we don’t become the monster staring back at ourselves in the process.
