At the top of everyone's computer security threat models should be:

2. The United States Government, as of 2017, is run by people who are actual Nazis and also Russian Mafia

Yet very few Silicon Valley Best Practices seem to take #1 into account

every time i watch a company-mandated ethics training video, i get the feeling that this is what happened to all the people who made "teaching Christianity to kids" videos back in the 80s

mind you, this isn't meant as an attack on the concept of ethics training, b/c i fully understand its importance

it's more of an attack on the production values of the training

@admin hey, quick question if you don't mind: how did anticapitalist.party end up on the harassment suspension list?
