@bojacobs Christian nonviolence scholar Walter Wink also covers this in his semi-famous theology book, _Engaging the Powers_

Some extracts are available here:

Wink writes: "The Powers That Be literally stand on their dignity. Nothing depotentiates them faster than deft lampooning. By refusing to be awed by their power, the powerless are emboldened to seize the initiative, even where structural change is not immediately possible."
