In general if you have a life or death secret, DO NOT share it with anyone, not your family, not your friends, not anyone.
If you are hiding Anne Frank, shut the fuck up.
And don't become a major public figure. Definitely DON'T run for office. Read Kevin Mitnick's art of invisibility and understand that it is 10 years old. Don't get a security clearance.
I.e. blend in and stay under the radar.
3 people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. Even then though, people suck at keeping secrets.
I wouldn’t tell the most hardened and trusted antifascist where she’s hiding. Loose lips sink ships, and good infosec begins with shutting your damn trap.
You know who to give a bit of extra food to. That’s all you need to know aside from the fact that that friend always had a higher metabolism than you so you’d rather ensure they get their fill. That’s it. You know nothing else. If you’re asked about creaking attics lots of attics creak. You can’t let slip what you don’t know so don’t get curious and don’t open up.
I want to add, get in the habit of helping people and never telling anyone. Every day is a good day to practice helping people around you and not getting caught. Help someone take in their shopping. Help a stranger jump their car. Help an unhoused person get groceries. The less you hear strangers, friends, or family saying they saw you help someone, the more you'll know you can do it in the future, when being seen is dangerous.
I do... a lot to help people. As often as I can. And every time I get zero recognition, I know I passed a stealth check.
Also, remember, if you're helping someone and someone else asks what you were doing, now is a time to practice obfuscation.
Additionally nobody suspects the person everyone recognizes as helpful as helping in a dangerous way. And they don’t suspect anything of their helping them.
I’ll also say, practice saying the lies you expect to have to tell. “I don’t know anyone like that around here” “I swear allegiance to the party” “I was at home all night reading”
Disinformation is very real. Many people think they are doing the right thing... even as they turn you in to the gestapo.
None of us are fully immune, though dayum some are a helluva lot more gullible than others.
Just Anne Frank? I won't even tell them where I'm hiding. Who needs these people!
I wouldn't tell where she's hiding either? Am I misreading this?
I think the point is we all know people who would.
Weird name for a community but checks out
It depresses the hell out of me that people retell the same joke over and over again like it's an original content.
This is not supposed to be a joke.
Proof?
don't look around lemmy (or the rest of the fediverse), if she had somehow escaped or survived bergen-belsen, like so many israelis, most of the people here would call her a dirty murderous zionist colonizer, and not think twice about it. depressing? no. completely expected.
Zionism is not Judaism
Facts disrupt the narrative.
Facts disrupt the narrative.
So because their ancestors survived a genocide they get to enact one on others people without reproach?
Congrats on the shittiest take I've seen on this yet.
