This is how the US Military thinks conventional insurgencies work. Take it with a grain of salt if course, but for groups that have gone clandestine and are looking to influence local politics this could be a trajectory. Maybe you can make your own similar chart renaming some of the projectualities?

Confidence Courage Connection Trust: A proposal for security culture

“This proposal for security culture is based on reframing — on shifting our focus from fear to confidence, from risk-aversion to courage, from isolation to connection, and from suspicion to trust.

It makes sense to feel fear – the state is very powerful, repression is common, and it has the power to crush us and all our projects. But I don’t want to stay in that fear, and with accurate information and good plans we can begin to transform fear into confidence, knowing we have security practices that are up to the risk we face. In fact, without transforming fear, it’s hard to imagine how we could manage to take action at all in face of the power of our enemies.

I don’t want to be risk-averse. I want to decide on my actions based on effectiveness, appropriateness, my analysis, and my ethics. Good security culture lays the groundwork for us to show courage in our tactics collectively, since we know we can handle the risk. When we don’t transform risk-aversion, we self-police and stay narrowly in the space for symbolic opposition that is provided to us.

Repression functions by isolating people. I don’t want to contribute to  isolation through the things I do to keep myself and my friends safe. I want a security culture rooted in deepening our connection with each other. When we don’t transform isolation, organizing can feel no different than work and we don’t build the kinds of relationships that truly transform us, such that we can begin to feel the world we wish to create.

I don’t want to feel suspicion when I meet people, that’s toxic and erodes the spaces of struggle we create. Rather than feel suspicious of someone, I want to ask myself “what would it take for me to trust this person?” I want to go towards people and try to transform suspicion into trust.”

security culture should be proactive and goal oriented. a sort of harm reduction. best defense is a good offense etc.

The anarchists targeted by Pegasus

https://freedomnews.org.uk/2021/07/23/the-anarchists-targeted-by-pegasus/

Os Cangaceiros was a group of delinquents caught up in the spirit of the French insurrection of 1968 who refused to let that spirit die. With nothing but contempt for the self-sacrificial ideology practiced by “specialists in armed struggle”, this uncontrollable band of social rebels wreaked havoc on the French state—attacking infrastructures of oppression, supporting popular revolts, stealing and releasing secret blueprints for high-tech prisons, raiding the offices of corporate collaborators, and creating their lives in complete opposition to the world based on work.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity

💡 TLDR: This is an open-source non-profit detailed and maintained guide on online anonymity (in addition to Privacy/Security). I've been writing/updating it for the past months. It covers Windows/Linux/MacOS/Whonix/TAILS/Qubes OS and more. It's written with hope for activists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, whistle-blowers, and good people being oppressed/censored anywhere!

The whole guide is backed up by many external references (over 500 external references, many of them academic) and is not sponsored by any commercial entity.

The guide is presented in a "book format" (Online ,or PDF with Light and Dark themes) and is quite a long read with over 180 pages of information (not counting the many 500+ external references). But there are ways you can read some parts and not others depending on your interest (and this is also explained in the introduction).
