A frustratingly futile task, especially one that keeps being attempted. Related to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is condemned to roll a huge bolder up a hill, only to have it roll down again, just before it gets to the top.

“We want to thank all of the activists that stood with us all these years. They stood by our side during the long sisyphic struggle, and all our supporters, in Israel and throughout the world,” he added.

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.
