States' representatives do sometimes, when convenient to their goals, claim or imply that some militia is automatically "terrorist" or "unlawful combatant" (a concept that does not actually exist) simply based on not being part of any State's armed forces.
That is not how it works, even according to their own rules as self-imposed on all States by their act of declaring themself a State, according to customary international humanitarian law (=regardless of treaties or State laws).
This was established in the 1800s.

Combatant status protections apply also to militias and similar if all these conditions are fulfilled:
• Must be commanded by a person responsible for the subordinates.
• Must have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance.
• Must carry arms (if any) openly during each military engagement and while in a military deployment preceding an attack being participated in.
• Must conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

For the last point, a convenient reference is the "International Humanitarian Law Databases" (https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en) maintained by the ICRC ("the Red Cross") whose tasks include maintaining the Geneva Conventions and related.

Not my wish or my opinion.
Their rules applied to themselves by themselves.

Finland's Minister of Economic Affairs is in the headlines again after some leaked text messages.

Turns out he called people of Middle-Eastern descent "monkeys"

He also spoke of a field of flowers like: "the flowers breed like Somalis"

But calling this guy racist is wrong, apparently.

Sanna Marin: Wasn't supposed to be the PM, got the job anyway.

Then she had to deal with COVID.

THEN she had to respond to the war in Ukraine.

And she got scrutinized by media outlets for having a few drinks off-duty and wearing gasp athletic leggings in public. Scandalous, I know.

The rumor mill around her got so bad she was forced to take a drug test, which obvs turned negative.

Meanwhile, Riikka Purra: Writes racist shit online, is unable to apologize, business as usual.

If our press were to do it's damn job right, they'd be grilling Riikka Purra about her need to murder black children and why she did not apologize for that.

Instead, our press is eager to accept her non-apology over "the language she used" as opposed to what was being actually said.

So basically, apologizing for getting caught is enough for our press it seems.

Pathetic.

A pretty good talk from Sacha Baron Cohen on social media giants, conspiracy theories and spreading of genocidal content. #Facebook #Tech #Twitter

🤔 Do bicycles create empathy? Or do people that care about other people, tend to care about bikes?

Why is there such a big overlap between "bike infrastructure radicalized people," and "people that care about people that are different than themselves?"

Why is there such a low overlap between "people with trash hateful takes" and "people that want more bike infrastructure?"

Imma do a quick #introduction seeing how I got some new followers! :3

Hi, I'm Miia! I like unions, bodily autonomy and human rights.

I don't like bosses, cops, priests or the state.

I also fix bikes and I consume about 2kg of tofu per week.

Yes, I post about my tofu consumption on a near regular basis :D

I just migrated from another server, so my profile's pretty empty right now! :'D

But yea. Anarcho-syndicalist, bike-fixing, tofu-frying, news reading Finn, is what I am.

Also trans :3

At first when I got to know how #fediverse works, I really missed the quoting feature of the birdapp.

But over time, I really don't miss it. Namely because it just makes starting internet fights that much easier.

Gave a speech at Nazi event with Nazi-group now banned for lethal violence and joked about running for election on the number "88" which is shorthand for "Heil Hitler", etc, etc,
but was now made Minister of Economic Affairs in the new right/far-right government of Finland, so "apologizes".
