Has anyone has heard of that "Don't Pay" campaign going on in the U.K. right now?

It's advising residents to combat the raising price of energy by refusing to pay their energy bills. I definitely understand the price hike is ridiculous and a lot of people might be in a situation where there's no way they could afford to pay regardless but still it seems like this could end badly.

I kind of expect similar resistance in the US. Also a possible taxpayers' revolt, which may be one of the reasons behind legislation to hire 80K+ more IRS employees.

As I recall, some celebrities refused to pay all of their income taxes during the Vietnam war, a percentage based on the amount funding the military. I don't recall the IRS doing anything about that except ignoring it.
