The fun thing about security culture is that there are no truly safe courses through the next couple of years.

You can, of course, avoid detection indefinitely by not doing anything and not networking with anybody. But given the growing power of the ruling class, is this actually the safest thing to do in the long term? I'm not sure.

That posture of cautious-but-super-woke inaction might be exactly what the ruling class wants you to adopt.

Raising awareness all the time about danger without providing a realistic, long term plan of action isn't security culture, it's just expressing your own anxiety.

The point of security culture is not to "not get caught" in microcosm. The point is to accomplish revolutionary goals without getting caught. Please don't lose sight of this.

Like anyone living in America could be killed by a cop at pretty much any point. Or a car crash, or denial of healthcare. We are all going to have mounting problems with climate change and food security for the rest of our lives. These are already the stakes. Not confronting the status quo is also highly dangerous.

Also like: some people are gonna get caught. Some people already have been! What are you going to do about it? This is why prisoner support is so important, and if we get our shit together we even can bust them out of prison. There are no rules.

Remember in the 70's when activists broke into FBI headquarters to steal documents and leak them to the people? We feel pretty fucking far from that right now.

@sidereal to be fair I saw what the FBI's office security was like (nonexistent) and was agog

Also the Weather Underground simply walked into the Pentagon and left a bomb on a timer in a restroom like holy shit what.

There's certainly direct action worth dying or being captured for AND it takes a lot more skill and finesse than it used to

@sidereal to be fair stealing the collateral murder vid pretending it was a Britney Spears CD was pretty rad.
