It's very similar to some cointelpro strategies for derailing leftist meetings by trying to drag out processes and procedures. I guess that doesn't work forever though because processes can get refined in ways to minimize disruption and mitigate the effects of bad faith behavior, and also there are a lot fewer leftist organizations with procedures that can be abused. But there are leftist discussion spaces, and those can still be derailed and made alienating with language games.
