Chuck DarwinMore than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.” The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by Musk to help him slash the size of the federal government under President Donald Trump’s administration were <a href="https://c.im/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#political</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ideologues</a> who did not have the necessary skills or experience for the task ahead of them.The mass resignation of engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers is a temporary setback for Musk and the Republican president’s tech-driven purge of the federal workforce. It comes amid a flurry of <a href="https://c.im/tags/court" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#court</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/challenges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#challenges</a> that have sought to stall, stop or unwind their efforts to fire or coerce thousands of government workers out of jobs.<a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-elon-musk-federal-government-resignations-usds-6b7e9b7022e6d89d69305e9510f2a43c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/doge-elon-musk-federal-government-resignations-usds-6b7e9b7022e6d89d69305e9510f2a43c</a>

Daniel DvorkinI'm trying to concentrate on my <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#work</a>, but I keep getting pulled away by <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/doomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomscrolling</a>. There's even more doom to scroll these days than usual, it seems.Much of what I'm scrolling is discussions in <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>-focused spaces, started and (somewhat) moderated by people who want thoughtful and informed discussion. Often they stay that way for quite a while. But the loons always find them, and descend in hordes. Like locusts without the charisma.<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Antivax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antivax</a> is the most common, but <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/creationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creationism</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> change denial always put in a good showing. More recent crankeries like the explosion of flat-Earthers: please don't try to tell me they're all "just trolling." Others too numerous to list.There are the hardcore <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ideologues</a> who don't try to mask it, and the "just asking questions" crowd who are just as much true believers, minus the honesty. And another circle beyond that, people who genuinely don't know enough to know what questions to ask. Some of them might still be reachable——if you have the time and patience. Which I no longer do.I did, you know, for much of my life. I'd give clear explanations, "as simple as possible but no simpler," and I've been told I was pretty good at it. Hell, I *enjoyed* doing it, and maybe still would. Answer questions. Smooth out sticking points. Engage with anyone, any time, anywhere.I just can't anymore. And I hate that.More and more of the people who look like they might want to learn, who can at least be given what they need to know to *start* asking the right questions, are really clever ideologues. Or they're just happy in their <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a>. It's a trap either way.Like I've said before: nearly everyone is ignorant about nearly everything. The sum of human <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> is too vast for anyone to learn more than a sliver of it in a lifetime. This is nobody's fault.Science is fractally complicated. Each field is complicated, and each subfield is equally complicated, and each sub-sub-field ... you get the idea. No matter how much you know, you still have just as much to learn as you did at the start. Maybe everything worth knowing is like this. Again, nobody is to blame. But it is your fault, very much so, if you don't know anything about the subject at hand—and insist on spouting off anyway. If you react to those who know more with anger or mockery or baffled rage. If your deliberate, willful ignorance gets you and people around you killed.So you know what? It's not my fault if I can no longer make myself care.I'll keep on answering questions, and asking them too—and *listening* to both the questions and the answers. That's in my blood. I know there are many, many people in the world who do want to know more than they do now, and if you're still reading this, there's a fair chance you're one of them.Everyone else can go to hell. That's where they're headed anyway, a hell they make for themselves, and the only remaining reason to try to get through is that they'll drag the rest of us with them. When that effort fails, as at the moment it manifestly is ...Back to work. That may still be one place I can do *something*.

tuxwise(10/N) A third category of adversaries:Ideologues<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ideologues</a> want to push you to do the right thing, or to punish you for doing the wrong thing. They may also want to eliminate you, physically or metaphorically, when they can't achieve their goal: Maybe you just won't learn, or are incorrigible, as such.The assets that you are "entitled" to are considered a reward, for conforming to the respective ideology. The portion of your assets that you aren't "entitled" to is usually the target of relentless denial, even destruction.Entitlement is always conditional, and temporary: In case you seem to be going astray, and appeals to your conscience do not seem to have enough effect, your assets may be withdrawn or destroyed.Hacktivists, campaigners, protagonists or minions of gender-based violence, lobbyists, racists, and terrorists fall into this category.Note: I am not judging how "just" the respective "causes" are, I'm talking about behaviors.(to be continued)Start of this thread: <a href="https://mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228291818865" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228291818865</a><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ThreatModeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThreatModeling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/4D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4D</a>

tuxwise(8/N) For now, leave your spreadsheet of assets alone and turn to the second question of the <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ThreatModelingManifesto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThreatModelingManifesto</a>:2. What can go wrong?The answer usually includes a list of adversaries, so you can later consider which ones you stand a chance fighting, if you think it's worth it.Again, this may be helpful for corporations, but not that much for individuals, since damage done to individuals can be much deeper, and last for much longer, even for life.So, lets rather consider abstract categories of adversaries from a perspective of what their primary goals are, and what they usually do to achieve them. We don't bother with specific bad actors here, nor are we considering how to "help them" via psychotherapy, legislation, imprisonment or campaigning, at this point in time.First, the list:<ul><li>You, and people like you</li><li><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Criminals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Criminals</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ideologues</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Intruders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intruders</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/Business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Business</a>(i)es</li><li>“<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/They" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#They</a>”</li></ul>A few thoughts, on each category:You, and people like youYou and others prefer to keep asset protection efforts to a minimum. You tend to take the integrity of your assets for granted, hoping that others will respect your boundaries, either out of respect for you or because of legal regulations and repercussions. Your attitude towards handling the assets of others is equally shortsighted and careless.As a result, your digital assets stay exposed, and you're putting others at risk, too.(to be continued)Start of this thread: <a href="https://mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228291818865" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.de/@tuxwise/113503228291818865</a><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/ThreatModeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThreatModeling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/4D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4D</a>

Chuck DarwinDonald Trump is behind. He trails in the pivotal postindustrial swing states and is treading water in the Southern and Sun Belt states — Arizona, Georgia and Nevada — that could help him find an alternative path to 270 electoral votes. In just a few months, Trump may join the exclusive club of🔸 two-time presidential losers.🔸Of course, it is still too early to make any real prediction about November. But the sharp reversal in Trump’s electoral fortunes raises an obvious question worth thinking about now: ❓If Trump loses, and perhaps especially if he loses badly, what comes next for the Republican Party?❓As striking as the relative electoral weakness of the Trump-era Republican Party is its ♦️total inability to either govern or police the boundaries of its coalition. ♦️Trump himself has no program beyond his own prejudices and impulses. 🔹“Build the wall” and “mass deportation now” reflect a deep-seated hostility to nonwhite immigrants that has no basis other than <a href="https://c.im/tags/rank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rank</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bigotry</a>. 🔹“Stop the steal” and Trump’s broader obsession with so-called election integrity is nothing more than an attempt to operationalize his core belief that he <a href="https://c.im/tags/cannot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cannot</a> actually <a href="https://c.im/tags/lose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lose</a> an election, or anything for that matter. 🔹Fittingly, the Trump-led Republican Party declined to devise a platform for the 2020 presidential election and produced a set of Trump-esque <a href="https://c.im/tags/slogans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slogans</a> for its 2024 one. To the extent that there is a Republican agenda, it is a product of the hard-right <a href="https://c.im/tags/ideologues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ideologues</a> and conservative <a href="https://c.im/tags/organizations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organizations</a> that 💥 see Trump as a willing vessel and vehicle for their own interests.💥Trump’s leadership has also occasioned the 🔸total collapse of the boundaries 🔸(such as they were) separating the far-right <a href="https://c.im/tags/fringe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fringe</a> of American politics from its <a href="https://c.im/tags/mainstream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mainstream</a>. The former president provides license for — and inspiration to — a large crop of right-wing extremists who 🔥disdain democracy and openly fantasize about the use of violence 🔥 to eliminate their political opponents. ♦️“Some folks need killing,” Mark Robinson, the Republican Party’s nominee for governor in North Carolina, declared at a church event in June.Trump’s Republican Party is a paradigmatically “<a href="https://c.im/tags/hollow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hollow</a>” party, according to the argument laid out by the political scientists Daniel <a href="https://c.im/tags/Schlozman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schlozman</a> and Sam <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rosenfeld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rosenfeld</a> in 👉“The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics.” 👈For all its activity, a hollow party “demonstrates fundamental <a href="https://c.im/tags/incapacities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#incapacities</a> in organizing democracy.” Its zombielike commitment to tax cuts and deregulation notwithstanding, the Republican Party from this vantage point is little more than 💥“a personal vehicle for Trump’s vendettas and fantasies.” 💥It offers nothing to the public, they observe, “besides praise for its leader.”❓So what happens if and when that leader loses yet another national election for his party? ❓What happens when, ❗️in the face of conditions that seem as favorable as they could be, ❗️ the Republican coalition led by Trump 🌟still falls short?🌟 <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/13/opinion/trump-republican-party-loss.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/13/opinion/trump-republican-party-loss.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare</a>
