Civil Affairs 

A part of the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command that specializes in a wide variety of military missions and operations to include:
1. Jumping out of planes
2. Preparing to jump out of planes
3. Riding in planes, preparing to jump out of planes, but then landing again
4. Giving toys to orphans for the opportunity to jump out of planes
5. Constantly talking about jumping out of planes
6. Bragging about (insert country here) jump wings
7. Saying things like "dirty leg", "when I was with group..." and "back with division we always..."

In addition to these tasks, Civil Affairs soldiers sometimes (rarely) train in and undertake Civil Military Operations, to include assisting combatant commanders in their interactions with the local populace, acting as a liaison between military and other US Government entities, members of the international community and NGOs, in order to ensure a whole of government approach to military operations and civilian interactions.

civil disobedience 

active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government or of an occupying power without resorting to physical violence. The American author Henry David Thoreau pioneered the modern theory behind this practice in his 1849 essay Civil Disobedience. In seeking an active form of civil disobedience, one may choose to deliberately break certain laws, such as by forming a peaceful blockade or occupying a facility illegally.
In the face of tyranny and injustice, it is the people's duty to practice civil disobedience to fight oppression.

Civil Protection 

Civil protection, a.k.a. metro police, are the worst a-holes in the half life universe. They kick down your door, they beat the crap out of you, and are generally unpleasant. IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID IF I WAS A STUPID, NO-BRAIN REBEL!!!
The metro police are the nicest in city 17, they'll always be right beside you, always protecting you, always saving you from stupid headcrabs trying to bite your head off!! They're the best!!!
Guy 1: Hey, you think civil protection are good?
Guy 2: Heck yeah i do!
Guy 1: You ain't wrong, man!

Civil Lefts Movement 

A reference to the need for the US to move to the political left to seek to achieve what may be true civil rights for its citizenship.
When we heard initially that there “may not have been enough evidence to support that there was a crime” in the George Floyd murder, we realized that we must reach further to the Civil Lefts Movement to get justice.
