Adapt or die
The infamous catchphrase of PW Botha,delivered in his growling TV speeches during the late 1980s. Basically: "Whites must reform apartheid a bit or face total collapse from unrest, sanctions, and the ANC — adapt or die." It became a dark meme for his stubborn "Total Strategy" — pretend to change while cracking down harder with states of emergency, troops in townships, and cross-border raids.
Township response? Comrades flipped it: "We won't adapt — apartheid must die." Turned his threat into fuel for the struggle.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
