This zine looks at the errors made in the 2022 film How to Blow Up a Pipeline and imagines how the film would have looked if the affinity group took security seriously. Fiction shapes reality, and the analysis is meant to help counter the unsafe practices we see on screen.
We ask our comrades "is it okay to use mobile phones?" and they respond "it depends on your threat model" before listing off scenarios that might endanger us. From these interactions, we have some idea of how a threat model is used, but how they're created is usually less clear. We shouldn't fully entrust our safety to others, and so we need to learn to manage the risks we ourselves face. This zine covers the methods you can use to threat model on your own and how these explicit steps can make you and those around you more safe. Our security is only as good as our models are accurate, so let's sit down and really think about how we can keep fascists and cops at bay as we move towards a liberated world.
