sign tapping comes across as a "you'll never win, stop trying, even when you think you get a win, it's actually a loss, you'll never be in control, you'll always be on the backfoot, you'll never catch the government off guard or defeat them. it's all a game and you're the loser." being vigilant to avoid performative actions, great, being alert to not be suckered into a war, fantastic, but the whole "you'll never win, you'll never score, they're too smart and too powerful, so give up and lay down." mentality is an eternal loser philosophy.
