Passive culture

Not glorifying passive culture means simply not examining/implying power of anything based on race, gender, sexuality, or wealth
In America, they argue countlessly of Trump vs Biden, Left vs Right, Woke vs Racist, Straight vs Gay. Here, we never argue about that, it's passive culture, and Putin and Xi never laugh at us.

racial passive

Similar to white privilege, a "racial passive" is a term to say Jewish people have an advantage/get away with more than others.

Hollow Passive-Aggressive

A special breed of passive-aggressive behavior that feels nice on the surface but is completely fake, emotionally empty, and served with a side of sarcasm. It’s the art of acting supportive, polite, or complimentary — but you know deep down they don’t mean a single word of it.

Think: Smiling shade. Pretty words, petty intentions. The emotional equivalent of a cardboard hug.

Examples:
“Oh wow, you wore that? So brave of you.”

“Thank you for your opinion. It's definitely... something.”

Of course I’ll help. I love picking up other people’s slack!”

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.
The police department's refusal to provide the requested documents, coupled with their pretense of not understanding the clear terms of the FOIA request, is a classic case of passive-aggressive strategic incompetence designed to shield themselves from scrutiny.
