Passive Peaceful

Antonym to ‘passive aggressive’ but still as childish and/or immature. Example: Your crush walks into the gym. You the passive peaceful mirror your workout according to his/hers ensuring you are in line of sight at least 75% of the time, but at no time do you say hi or initiate any communication because you know you’re a spineless wussy. Moreover, he/she is CLEARLY aware of your presence but refrains from any passive aggressive behavior instead rising above the weakness you fail miserably at.
(At gym)

Hot Gym Patron #2: So annoying! I cant stand when someone is passive peaceful .

Passive-Aggressive Strategic Incompetence

A deliberate and calculated behavior exhibited by an organization or its members, particularly law enforcement agencies, where they feign misunderstanding or lack of capability to fulfill a legal or formal request for information. This tactic is employed as a means of evasion to avoid accountability, transparency, or the disclosure of information that could implicate the organization in illegal activities or misconduct. It is characterized by an outward appearance of cooperation or innocence, masking an intentional effort to obstruct justice or the rightful access to information. This behavior is passive-aggressive in nature because it avoids direct confrontation or refusal while actively working against the requester's aims to uncover truth or obtain justice.

This definition encapsulates the manipulative and obstructive nature of the behavior, emphasizing its purpose as a strategy to evade legal and moral responsibilities.

went into passive

Referring to going into passive mode in the rockstar blockbuster title GTA 5 which grants the person who selected it the ability to not be harmed by anyone attacking them at the price that they can not inflict damage upon anyone else as well.

This is referencing someone who has beef with someone but is hiding from the heat and avoiding conflict even though they created the issue by screwing someone over in the first place.

The person that went into passive is scared for their life and most likely went to the police to avoid being caught by the opposition they started conflict with.
