If you meant the concept or a typical book/essay called “Quiet Resistance,” here’s a short summary of that idea:

Quiet Resistance (general summary)
- Definition: nonviolent, low-profile forms of opposition to authority, norms, or injustice that rely on discreet, everyday actions rather than public protest or open confrontation.
- Common forms: refusal to comply, covert sabotage, subtle noncooperation, symbolic gestures, withholding labor or information, slowdowns, everyday acts of dissent, and cultural or narrative subversion (stories, art, coded speech).
- Motivations: moral or political disagreement, self-preservation in repressive contexts, strategic avoidance of repression, or desire to erode power gradually.
- Characteristics: decentralized, hard to detect or punish, cumulative effects over time, often performed by individuals or small groups, and embedded in routine behaviors.
- Theoretical links: relates to James C. Scott’s “everyday forms of resistance,” theories of civil disobedience, and studies of social movements that emphasize informal, grassroots tactics.
- Strengths and limits: effective where open protest is dangerous and can produce long-term change; but may be slow, hard to coordinate for large-scale policy shifts, and risks being co-opted or ignored.
- Typical recommendations: cultivate networks of trust, use symbolic and covert communication, combine quiet tactics with visible actions when possible, document impact to build narratives, and protect participants from identification and retaliation.
