Actually the term "passive resistance" means not moving or doing anything when asked to cooperate, e. g. being absolutely still when you are being arrested and forcing your arresters to have to bodily carry you off. So the thread title is a misnomer.

"n. Resistance by nonviolent methods to a government, an occupying power, or specific laws, as refusing to comply, demonstrating in protest, or fasting."
Looks like it works here too.
