Salami slicing tactic is a bit different, it's putting separate elementary components of a mechanism by themselves, carefully. Until it's whole and can be turned on.
It's what the Silicon Valley people have done with the Internet. Since its creation, I mean. It's designed as a totalitarian system. I wonder if there are backdoors in the IP protocol, or at least BSD reference stack that was adopted by almost everyone. But even if there are none, the system itself is architecturally ephemeral where democratic mechanisms can put a base, and perpetual where authoritarian ones can put a base. It's centered on "who talks to whom" and not on "which messages are preserved and propagated and on which subjects". Some brilliant minds are on the wrong side.
Or maybe I'm having a bipolar psychosis again and need to take my pills. Or maybe both.
