Computing's dominant concepts - innovation, efficiency, resilience, professionalism - often migrate from reflective ideals to instruments that limit behaviour, redirect responsibility, and foreclose critique. We call this drift weaponisation: the discursive repurposing of professional concepts so that they stabilise business-as-usual while making structural alternatives appear unreasonable, illegible, or out of scope. Using collective autoethnography across education, justice, public administration, research management, and computing, we identify recurring mechanisms (simplification, individualisation, binary framing, metric substitution, hero/resilience scripts, organised ignorance). From this synthesis we propose Reframing - peaceful, practice-ready shifts (e.g., From Simplified Slogans to Structural Literacy; From Performative Compliance to Meaningful Outcomes; From Coping to Justice) - each paired with a 'do-now' prompt. The levers restore complexity, surface assumptions, and redirect attention to structural conditions without requiring formal authority. We contribute: (1) a cross-field account of weaponisation as a patterned phenomenon; (2) a portable reframing toolkit grounded in narrative and systems thinking; and (3) implications for computing within limits, including day-to-day practice shifts toward care, sufficiency, and justice.
