Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.

From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.

Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.

Deutschland verhandelt jetzt also mit den Taliban. Nicht etwa über Frieden, nicht über Bildung, Frauenrechte oder Menschenwürde – nein. Über Abschiebungen. Über die logistische Repatriierung von Menschen in ein Gottesstaaten-Gefängnis, in dem Musik verboten ist 1/

Satirisch-kritisches Bild zur deutschen Migrationspolitik. Im Hintergrund ist der CSU-Politiker Alexander Dobrindt blass und geisterhaft zu erkennen, darüber liegt ein Zeitungsartikel mit der Schlagzeile: „Deutschlands ‚Migrationswende‘ wird am Hindukusch verhandelt – Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) will direkt mit den Taliban über Abschiebungen verhandeln.“ Im oberen Bildteil steht provokant: „Die Taliban als Kooperationspartner?“ Unten folgt in großer weißer Schrift die zynische Aussage: „Na klar – Hauptsache, die Fremden sind weg.“ Das Bild übt scharfe Kritik an der politischen Bereitschaft, mit den Taliban zu kooperieren, um Abschiebungen durchzusetzen – ungeachtet menschenrechtlicher Konsequenzen. Unten rechts das Logo „Wemeze“ mit einem blauen Schmetterling.

If you want to change the order of your pinned posts, do these steps:

1. Click the pinned post you want to put at the top, so that you are now in the enlarged view of that post
2. Click ⋯ and then "Unpin"
3. Wait a little bit
4. Click ⋯ and then "Pin"

It's important you click to enlarge the post before you unpin it, because otherwise it will disappear back to its original place on your timeline and it may be fiddly to find it again (especially if it's an older post).
