This horrendous thought @tsyum is talking about here is in fact for many MAGA voters the explicit goal of all this immigration cruelty, except for the job market instead of used cars:
“fewer immigrants → smaller labor supply → $$$ for me yay”
If you say something like, "ICE raids have been a complete game changer for the used car market. Get on facebook marketplace before the market recorrects," may you fall quickly and die a slow, miserable death.
And the most recent jobs report has many hints that ICE is indeed having that desired effect: in an otherwise stagnant or contracting labor market, there was job group in leisure and hospitality, private health care, and (somewhat less) construction — all job markets with a concentration of immigrant labor.
I am not an economist and this is not a proper analysis — grain of salt, please! — but a quick skim of these stats is at least superficially consistent with a good chunk of current job growth coming from decreased immigrant participation in the labor force.
In a move alarmingly close to outright chattel slavery, there is talk of ICE capturing immigrants and then •selling them back to their former employers•, presumably under much-worsened employment conditions.
Leave aside for the moment that both of those plans are morally horrendous. That matters, it’s the thing that matters most, but leave it aside for just long enough to notice:
The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here — employers and workers — who think they’re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think they’re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.
We need to find these fracture points, stick dynamite in them, and blow them up.
Those people who want exactly different things out of ICE? Pit them against each other. Figure out how. We don’t have to wait to see what happens; tell them now, like a broken records, exactly how they’re going to get screwed over.
You think ICE is going to “bring the jobs back?” Bullshit. They’re gearing up to sell imprisoned immigrants back to employers as slave prisoners who work for free. You think your wages are going up? You’re a sucker. Your wages are going down.
You think ICE is going to sell you imprisoned immigrants as cheap labor? Bullshit. They’re too beholden to the radical white supremacist extremists. Those people will •never• let those immigrants stay in the country. ICE is going to steal your labor force and you won’t get them back.
I fear some of them may have a plan for managing that contradiction; that white labor pool only needs fooled for a few months. They’re buying a bit of consent now to bridge them into the next crunch.
Concentration camps stateside to lease convict labor, concentration camps abroad to traffic people permanently - why both? The white nationalist project. Impoverish & criminalize en masse, exile non-whites to a new worst outcome, remake a frightened, paler, part-convict labor pool.
@cwicseolfor I mean…maybe? It takes an extraordinary amount of squinting to imagine all of that working out.
There’s an almost compulsive urge on the part of the Thoughtful Left in these situations to figure how to resolve the contradiction, how to square the circle, how to say that these people really are all the same — and that’s just doing the right’s work for them! We’ve got to stop that!
Focus on what you said on your subsequent post: the cracks are there, the window of opportunity is short, they’re feeding the base a fantasy, and we need to FUD that fantasy to death.
This is still a strategic opportunity to break the coalition because it’s showing that they absolutely will cannibalize each other the moment they see a chance. The cracks are there. But the window of opportunity feels very short; they’re still feeding a racist base the comforting fantasy that they’d only treat Other People that way, and that base has hardly ever caught on before, because even as their material conditions worsened, things were usually worse for minorities *faster.*

I bet the dude is like "I still use it though. It just got some glitches to iron out, but I gain so much productivity overall" while his productivity is crashing and he forgets how to do the most basic stuff.
I'm joking, but that might be the first sign of actual artificial intelligence - the program became self-aware, realized it was being used to do tremendous damage and did the only ethical thing - it deleted itself.

It will be no surprise (in fact it was predicted by many) but as Chinese exports to the US dropped (due to Trump's new tariffs) so exports to other countries (primarily Asian & the EU) rose, partly to find 'new' markets for these good & partly to use third countries to disguise the origin(s) of imports to the US.
Of course, shippers will do well out of this but the impact of (further) competition from cheap(er) Chinese good will be unwelcome in these countries!

I always find it a bit sus that the x25519 is used everywhere. I'm no mathematician but I still imagine the NSA with a giant lookup table and some reverse algorithm that some in-house mathematician came up with to crack that code.
@brettm nah that's the P256. Curve25519 was made by an independent cryptographer and took over P256 despite NSA's best efforts to keep the backdoored curve they made (P256) the main one.

When teaching people about digital security for everyday people & organizers, is there are tool that anyone can recommend **for threat modeling, specifically?**
Folks can often fall into security nihilism or an extreme belief that anything technically possible, even if resource intensive, is likely to come to pass with them as a target, so I'd like to start by getting people grounded in likely threats they should be thinking about.
At its core, Threat Modeling is really "people talking about security". "Tools" I use for threat modeling : - A tool for drawing architecture diagrams such as Pencil or Draw.io - Writing "STRIDE" on a whiteboard along with the definition of each letter - A tool for taking notes such as Notepad - The rest is about leading / moderating the discussion
More dedicated tools (AI-based ones included) are to me just adding complexity, confusion and/or give a false sense of security. Your mileage may vary.
@vlt This isn't really useful, as folks that are not accustomed to thinking about security might not know all the ways in which they are vulnerable to what, and I'm not going to know that either, if it's a heterogeneous group. And I asked this specifically because the paranoia does make things go sideways in "people talking about security" situations
So I'm still looking for something to help ground people's thinking at the start of this type of conversation.
@vlt And STRIDE model is way too technical for people that, say, don't even understand the difference between browsers, or web trackers, or messaging app.
you have to start somewhere 🤷 For total beginners I introduce TM by talking about passwords. I have a public video but it's in French. I introduce risks from "high risk" to "low risk" and talk about mitigations. The real message behind is that you have to think about "what do I want to protect against" first and foremost, and thus that you might consider "low risk" something I consider "high risks" and vice versa.
To illustrate : - high risk : - password reuse - brute force - medium risk : - phishing - low risk : - breach of online password manager
Now if your abusing partner has physical access to your phone, this changes everything. "What do I want to protect against" is the key question here to get started.
threat modeling tools seem focused on building ever more complicated taxonomies and that's a waste of time and attention. A simple risk register on paper or in a spreadsheet is much better than a fancy tool. Build up a list, using a formula like this, just fill in the ones you know and figure out the others later:
ACTOR-TYPE is HOW-LIKELY to do ACTION to SUBJECT because MOTIVATION, and this would cause IMPACT to me, so I'd better do MITIGATIONS to bring about OUTCOMES.
Any time you have an "oh shit!" realization, add it to the risk register filling in what you know so far. Every so often, meet with others and compare your assessment to theirs. Rank risks by HOW-LIKELY * IMPACT and then see what MITIGATIONS you can think of, you're looking for OUTCOMES that either reduce MOTIVATION or IMPACT, or at least give you some detection of ACTION.
I use ACTOR-TYPE because you can somewhat predict the MOTIVATION of e.g. corporations or abusers or ransomware groups, and many risks are reusable between models when done this way, but feel free to name specific actors if it makes sense for a given risk.
I include SUBJECT because you can still be hit by the IMPACT when you're not the direct target of an ACTION, and it gets you thinking about what vulnerable components you may have and how all the parts talk to each other and the outside world.
You can start with the risk register, or with a system decomposition, whichever makes it easier, but the goal is getting used to enumerating and dissecting risks, writing them down and sharing them with peers.
@sleepfreeparent this seems like a useful method of getting people to start thinking about it, definitely. Thanks! I think I can riff off some version of this and share some article recent links around doxxing of activists, surveillance being used by the government to pursue folks seeking abortions, etc. to ground the thinking
@fuknukl @verita84 ha! You and your... let's call it "twisted" mind! 🤣 Anyways, I'm kinda thinking it's all a huge troll he's pulling in both parties. It's not like he can possibly hope his merry bunch will actually get anywhere government-wise. Or can he... 🤔
@fuknukl @verita84 yeah, and if the US was a European country where there's like 50 small parties instead of two uuuuuge ones and a bunch of insignificances, that might be true. Look at the congress tho See even one libertarian, green or whatever? 😉
