The natural response to that is civil disobedience without actually getting caught.  As a first approximation a single person operating alone could probably do around a billion dollars worth of damage without directly inflicting physical harm on anyone.  Get a few thousand people to do the same and individually there going to be less effective, but things break down.  Keep pushing and government becomes meaningless.<p>However, people are generally fat and happy.  A surveillance state in wall-e&#x27;s world just does not mean the same thing without the downtrodden masses which have fueled past revolutions.
