skogens_ro,

They're authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they're appealing to communists.

Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

skogens_ro,

Just look at how the reddit protest ended. Once threatened with losing their status as mods, they all caved.

Money and power are powerful motivators, and the mods work for free.

skogens_ro,

Sounds like they've successfully created a safe little echochamber. Wasn't that the point?

skogens_ro,

this

Edit: thank you for the gold, kind dear gentlesir or gentlemadame.

Edit2: wow I never expected to wake up to so many awards, who'd knew my most updooted comment would be about this?

skogens_ro,

You are the only one who decides what gives your life meaning, and you decide what counts as "waste". If your meaning is keeping up with people who have achieved big goals without working hard to achieve big goals of your own, you'll probably end up envious and miserable. A lot of people like doing that so you've got plenty of company to wallow in your misery with if that's what you want to do.

I'd suggest finding another form of meaning.

Vanlige dagligvarebutikker får selge øl, sider og annet opptil 4.75%. Men bare frem til kl 20 på ukedager, 18 på lørdager, og ikke på søndager for da må vi prise Herren. På søndager får vi bare kjøpe lettøl (opptil 2.75%) i dagligvarebutikker som er under 100m^2.

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man"

skogens_ro,

Yup. The only limit is the American population of judges, that is until they figure out how to outsource it. As American democracy deteriorates further, people want to break down institutions and the separation of powers in order to give more power to the executive. Because currently, that benefits them. At every step of the way both Rs and Ds will justify their powergrabs by saying the other would've done it. What could possibly go wrong?

skogens_ro,

My go-to is an independent place near me that does excellent falafel. They do kebabs and fried chicken too, but that's more so-so.

There's no KFC here. A local chain "Fly Chicken" is similar, except better (IMO) but also more expensive. 13.50€ for 10pcs hot wings. Norway is expensive in general.

skogens_ro,

Hell yeah you can blame the people. They chose to use those platforms, and they choose to stay with them as they grow ever shittier. They're the ones enabling platforms like reddit.

skogens_ro,

Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?

skogens_ro,

I agree in the event of a genocidal government, you throw them out, but obviously there needs to be a very high bar and a lot of safeguards to prevent partisan misuse. A losing Republican could claim a winning Democrat wants to conduct a genocide against unborn babies or something and the Jan6 insurrectionists would feel they were justified because of it.

What are the most damning pieces of evidence that Desantis will conduct a genocide if elected?

Should the 2016 election result have been overturned?

skogens_ro,

I think most people strongly dislike free speech, but they want the right to express themselves, and the government allowing dissent is a necessary evil so they keep their own free speech. That's why they jump at any opportunity to limit everyone else's speech. People loved to say reddit was a private platform that can do what they want, so long as they kept the censorship to their political enemies.

skogens_ro,

Same appeal as other forms of extremism. You get a set of enemies to blame for everything wrong with the world. You can hate them and feel justified for it. You get simple solutions to complicated problems. You're in the know, while ordinary people are being manipulated by some evil elite.

skogens_ro,

This should be a safe place where we can all discuss our belief. Hateful disagreement must not be allowed.

YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties

Why YSK: I’ve noticed in recent years more people using “neoliberal” to mean “Democrat/Labor/Social Democrat politicians I don’t like”. This confusion arises from the different meanings “liberal” has in American politics and further muddies the waters....

skogens_ro,

Socialists and communists are not normally classified as centre-left here in Norway either.

skogens_ro,

Followed. Don't let me down!

skogens_ro,

Rådde for legeetikk gir råd til Den norske legeforening i etiske spørsmål.

– Å seie at dette ikkje er eit medisinsk spørsmål, men heller eit politisk eitt blir for lett, seier Aarseth.

Han seier også at dødshjelp strir med dei etiske reglane nedfelt i legeyrket, og viser til paragraf 5 i Etiske reglar for legar som seier at legar ikkje skal utføre dødshjelp.

– Dette er i aller høgaste grad eit spørsmål som gjeld legar.

Skulle likt å vite hvordan det er et medisinsk spørsmål. Etiske regler for leger er jo nettopp etiske og ikke medisinske regler. Spørsmålet om og når det er riktig å gi aktiv dødshjelp er etisk, mens hvorvidt man skal tillate det og støtte opp om det med offentlige midler er politisk.

Medisinske spørsmål som "kan pasienten bli bedre" og "har pasienten så store smerter at de kvalifiserer til aktiv dødshjelp" kommer først etter de etiske og politiske vurderingene er gjort. Og bare hvis man kommer frem til til at at man tillater aktiv dødshjelp gitt visse medisinske forutsetninger.

Men det er et aktuelt spørsmål for leger siden de jobber tett opp mot pasienter som kanskje vil vurdere aktiv dødshjelp. Og jeg forstår dilemmaet med brudd av legeløftet. Som et kompromiss synes jeg man bør se på en reservasjonsrett mot å henvise til aktiv dødshjelp, så sant man sørger for at tjenesten fortsatt er tilgjengelig for de som ønsker den. Og ikke la et mindretalls etiske overbevisninger stå i veien for et tilbud flertallet ønsker å tilby trengende. Det finnes vel leger i Norge som kunne tenke seg å tilby denne tjenesten?

skogens_ro,

/s is like explaining a joke you just made right away.

skogens_ro,

That's just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.

Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.

skogens_ro,

They're doing their very best. Uselessness is a Reddit core value.

skogens_ro,

I disagree it's a media thing. It has been covered. It's just not an unusual story so people don't share it as much.

Now billionaires dying on a submarine will get shared plenty. People love those stories. So naturally, you'll see more about it.

skogens_ro,

Idk. That always seemed like a classic redditor thing to do: giving money to redditcorp just to spite some stranger.

But then again, the admins are very petty and juvenile. Huffman especially, going so far as to ghost-edit user' comments.

📢Entire mod team on r/mildlyinteresting (and more subs) removed and locked out of their accounts after changing their rules upon community's request. (They're also switching subs BACK to SFW)

EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!...

skogens_ro,

Marking the sub as nsfw affects their ad revenue, that's is the only reason they care.

Doing stuff like posting pictures of suggestive veg or John Oliver seems like a way for mods to protest without driving as many users away.

skogens_ro,

You're kidding yourself if you think it's a negotiation tactic. When the revolution comes, such revisionism will get you executed by true believers.

But at least you're useful to them for the time being. Someone needs to radicalise the people who will carry out the purges.
