Imagine you’re in the army and you have a tank. The enemy is trying to disable your tank. First they sneak in and cut the fuel line and the tank is disabled. You see this and move the fuel line so that it isn’t readily accessible and is protected. This is resistance.

There is another way to disable the tank. You could drop a nuclear bomb on it. This is cooking.
