If you have any interest in neofascist movements or the dark underbelly of industrial music but ESPECIALLY the links between the two, I cannot recommend this book by @spencersunshine highly enough
I had the privilege of reading an early draft of it, and the sheer amount of information it contains is staggering, and you won't find any of it anywhere else
And so many bands that have spent decades playing the ARE WE NAZIS OR JUST PROVOCATEURS game collapse under Spencer's research
though, i do feel that's a bit undercut by the fact that it uses a lot of real world politics surrounding israel - but without the heavier parts of that baggage.
i don't have a phone rn, so i didn't take any pictures of it, but i'll try to share some my partners took soon.
Folx frequently ask me about security culture, both technical and social, so here's a reading list (in maybe the order you should read them). There's some overlap and contradictions between the zines, but that's not a bad thing. No one is completely right (not even me), and with something as likely to have serious consequences as security errors, always get at least 2 opinions.
First up is "Confidence, Connection, Courage, Trust." It's the best zine out there for finding a starting point for developing a security culture. It discusses how to create security culture without becoming paralyzed by paranoid.

"Use Signal, Use Tor" were slogans for a while, and while that slogan's use dropped off, Signal is still the go-to messenger for radicals. However, it's not a silver bullet. "Signals Fails" discusses how to use it correctly and common mistakes.

i liked this thread on twitter from the Fort Worth SRA trying to outline "what are the cops carrying" — anyone else know of any other resources outlining this kind of information?
every time i write i feel my innards recreate the body-without-organs chapter of Anti-Oedipus
"Every coupling of machines, every production of a machine, every sound of a machine running, becomes unbearable to the body without organs. Beneath its organs it senses there are larvae and loathsome worms, and a God at work messing it all up or strangling it by organizing it."
