How does one cripple Civil Liberty and Boom?

'cripple'? Not sure that's a BGS action 
Drugs, guns and booze.
If the black market is closed just wait or can I use bio waste to upset them?
You can waste their stations. It won't do much but it makes for nice screenshots.
.... runs away to write a suggestion to add 'defunding of education' missions into the gameMay I suggest propaganda, defunding of education and freezing the minimum wage?
Only if they're illegal and sold on a black market, or part of a "smuggle" mission.
If they're legal, they help economic state. So says four years of boom caused by doing exactly this
Truth is, activities to create negative states (or rather; combating positive states) are grossly under-represented at the moment.

EDIT: And for the proof of that pie, look at the number of positive states compared to negative as of 31 July this year, noting Famine doesn't even exist. Thanks @Mangal Oemie
EDIT: Oh, for context, Lockdown, Civil Unrest, Bust and Famine are the "Negative" states. War/Civil War are not "negative states" in this context.

Gun-running was one of my fav activities.
Violence is usually the answer.
What's this pirate activity state? I've triggered it multiple times in the past, but it sounds like it actually rewards the opposing faction by increasing the payouts for things like bounties and such. I thought surely blowing up their civilians would cause unrest.
Also, everybody is happy all the time, right? Even if a Thargoid is eating your grandmother, happiness is the only state of being in ED? They must have good drugs in 3305.

Pirate Attack is caused by high levels of activity for a particular faction, but has a very long hidden pending period to make detailed analysis of the mechanism impractical. It doesn't appear to do very much other than make trade prices briefly higher for a lot of goods.
There's also Civil Unrest/Lockdown which generate "Pirate Activity" threat 5+ POIs. Those POIs do provide good bounty hunting opportunities to try to counter the Civil Unrest with. Civil Unrest cuts market production for most goods by 20%, with Lockdown shutting down the market entirely if it gets that far.
Similarly, if it ever appeared in the first place, Famine would create a lot of good trade opportunties which would tend to draw the economy slider back towards neutral.
Well they do have a thousand years of pharmeceutical innovation..

Cant believe this hasn’t ‘bin dun’ yet, so here goes:
In simple terms you probably need to go illegal.
Attack controlling faction's ships, shoot the police.
Steal from traders.
You'll get wanted status and be person nongrata in that system, so you need an anarchy system to run back to for supplies.
And with bounty on your head, other players are perfectly in their rights to attack you at a moments notice.
That'll reverse the good times.

Ya know, i was gonna go with outsourcing jobs, legislate a police state and establish a welfare systemMay I suggest propaganda, defunding of education and freezing the minimum wage?
We're getting close in many countries already.
obviously we've got it all wrong
We simply put chemicals in the water and it'll turn the frogs gay
