Calling people human shields because they are in their own home as a pretense to bomb them is a war crime.

If a terrorist holds a baby, do you shoot the baby? Well, Israel would be ready to shoot a handful just to kill one person slightly affiliated with Hamas*.

I thought about making them in cronological order for a few cases. I thibk it fits well with the assasination of Shireen Abu Aqleh.

She was a very brave teen. Fuck the Iranian regime.

In Sweden, there are cracks in the system, especially if you are homeless but an illegal immigrant or from Romania (a common example). There are services but a big hurdle is having to have a legal personnummer or coordination number (though I’m told that doesn’t work for everything). In student towns, lots of homelessness is also among students. It’s even more difficult if you are a drug user. A lot of times the only shelters in the area are offered by churches and non profits which don’t have a large capacity and serve on a first-come-first-get basis.

I wish they would expand this to cover more vulnerable groups. I would love to see Housing First applied in Sweden. Since the recent inflation crisis, I notice more homeless people.

So which communities in the ml instance have such views?

If you make a claim about tankies but never back but beyond the claim of personal experinece, then you at least owe it to yourself to understand that you may be wrong.

A collection of posts, perhaps already deleted and in the mod log? Any users you have personally seen and reported simping for China that the mods continue to have around anyway? Mod policies publicly making this okay? A meme page in love with toltalitarianism?

It doesn’t have to be a scientific study… just any kind of evidence other than “trust me bro”.

Don’t ignore your eyes, but also don’t be so damn pretentious. Show us what you are seeing.

Before I give any criteria, let’s discuss this:

If you have dug them up N times, just paste them here? No? Just a whole dump of everything you got or an old comment would do.

Your reply implies I would readily dismiss the evidence… is there any reason you believe that?

You are wasting everyone else’s time by making claims you can’t back up. I am saying this as someone who hates any authoritarian regime and will do anything to avoid it becoming a reality. We both hate tankies.

Seems like lots of people in the comment section are also talking about what their eyes are seeing and it contradicts your claim. So whose eyes shall we trust?

From my limited and personal experience of the .ml instance, I don’t see any of this happening, just lots of tankie-boogyman rhetoric. But my observations are not enough to make a conclusion. And neither are yours. That’s why we need to back it up with evidence. Do you have any indication of any communities on .ml where the mods let this happen openly? If so, please link it.

snek, 7 days ago

Thanks for the links. I will read them.

But man, fuck that tone of yours, it sucks.

snek, 7 days ago

As I said, your tone sucks ass.

I am expecting a normal amount of decency. I understand it’s hard when you assume EVERYONE is up against you. I would drop that of I were you.

So when you say .ml instances, you mean lemmygrad specifically? I am asking because my understanding is that .ml is just a domain extension.

So are you thinking that tankies are using .ml as some kind of code? Or do you mean specific instances that happen to share the .ml domain extension?

snek, 7 days ago

Right okay. I was not aware that there are only two… and I think .ml is general use. If anything I thought it was short for machine learning, like .io is short for input/output.

snek, 7 days ago

You are not going to like this…

Some of these are memes. Some ard discussions. I see the point in a few. Have you tried reporting them?

snek, 7 days ago

I see! Thanks for explaining.

snek, 7 days ago

I agree that some are good examples. I think some are exaggerated but I’ll ignore those.

The overwhelming majority of them are from hexbear finding their way to lemmy.ml. I honestly gotta check who is defederated from who. If we defederate from lemmy.ml, we’d get rid of those but we would be losing a ton of content in communities where there are no insane extremists. What do you think what the best solution would be? I wonder if speaking to lemmy.ml mods about it could help.

snek, 7 days ago

Yeah the intro to that Tankie video that person you linked to had posted… jesus.

I think your solution is reasonable and preferable to me tbh.

snek, 13 days ago (edited 13 days ago)

We both agree that misconduct is a thing. We disageew on what miscobduct means. I hope that makes it clear.

Have you read that article btw?

I am not sure what exactly you are asking me to show… in Sweden (as said in the link you posted and as I already know by actually working in Sweden for years) is that you have to warn workers of msiconduct and they can appeal your decision if it’s dumb as fuck (like what Google did). Do you have any reason at all to believe that workers in Sweden would be fired in a similar way? I don’y think so. This shit does not happen here, and there are mechanisms that give employees and unions power to stop it.

Like read this shit:

Google fired workers who willingly left the sit-in when asked by company officials, and also fired some workers who “had just stopped by to chat,” Hasan Ibraheem, one of the Google workers who was arrested and fired, said Monday during a news conference.

so do you have any case whatsoever that shows that this shit would fly at a Swedish company? One where it was legally challenged at least? If no, then what exactly is your point?

PS: sorry can’t be bothered to fix spelling lol. Your tone was so crap that it even put me off trying to explain my point. You cannot fire people in Sweden for doing whay those employees at Google did.

snek, 12 days ago (edited 12 days ago)

I want to say I understand your point. You sre saying misconduct laws are vague and that allows employers to fire employees for BS. You also seem to think those Google employees committed some kind of ‘misconduct’. I disagree.

The issue in my opinion is that you are basing it on the law sounding vague… and ignoring the part where employees would receive warnings that first and foremost makes it clear to them that such a thing is regarded as misconduct and could lead to.termination… and you are ignoring that in is able to appeal the decision with the help of a union representative. Then you are ignoring all free speech laws and the fact that this is not a common culture or occurrence in Sqeden .

I work in Sweden and have read the law a million times. I also raised problems at work and challenged authority and was never fired nor sent to HR or anything like that. There are laws in Sweden that act as a safety net to prevent employers from firing a person for such trivial shit. Has this ever happened? If no one seems to interpret this as misconduct in Sweden, then where is your claim coming from?

So allow me to rephrase the question to you in a more civil way: aside from the “law being vague”, do you have reason(s) to believe that staging a sitdown as protest in Sweden or having coffee and a chat with people staging a reasonable peaceful and coordinated protest in Swede would get you fired?

This may be the case for some European countries (I have no idea and won’t speak our of my asa about places I don’t know much about) but not Sweden. If you never worked here, then you may not understand how Swedish law and unions work exactly with cases like this. I am quite thankful to live in this kind of society where my employer cannot fire me just because they would rather fund the literal mutilation of thousands of children and be complicit in international human rights violations.

And for the example you cited: as someone who has worked in Stockholm specifically and works there now: no, that would not be grounds to fire you, and you can appeal by law and get help from your union representative.

If you are unaware of Swedish law, I would advice that you avoid generalizing European laws to Sweden

Seems to me that the problem is bankers. Not the average Joe

snek, 10 days ago

I think you misread Swedish law and are (on purpose?) misreading what happened at Google. I have nothing more to say other than the above in my previous comments. Have a nice day.

snek, 13 days ago

Everyone has imagined someone naked at some point. Do you feel the same? How do you feel about yourself?

snek, 13 days ago

I’m sorry if you are having a bad day.
