It's been in the news lately that a young active member of the Nazi brutality-clubs "Active Club" is "linked to a member of the government" of Sweden, according to major news-media reporting. Some "experts" and colleagues dismissed it with phrases like "well, what can you do, we're all linked to so many people", buuut... ...turns out "linked to" may have a bit deceptively vague phrasing, as the person (Gustaf Forssell) is Minister for (actually against) Migration Johan Forssell's... son, also acting as a recruiter for the Fascist youth-group DFSU, reports AFA (antifa) Stockholm in the latest of their consistently reliable releases.
Well, if you know the politics of that minister, you're probably not shocked. My response at learning which minister it was, was literally "ooooh, THAT makes sense".
Attached: 1 image
We made this poster as a comment on the unfolding scandal in Sweden, regarding the son of the Swedish minister of migration being an active nazi.
Latest developments on the matter of the government minister whose son is/was fascist group recruiter and nazi brutality-club activist is that almost all, but not all, major news-media refuse publicly reporting which minister it is, with the claimed reason that the person "linked to a member of the government" is underage, which is of course not even a valid claimed reason for refusing to say which minister it is. The minister isn't underage. They don't have to say anything more identifiable than "a son of the Minister for Migration of Sweden" or even "closely related to the Minister for Migration". I don't think anyone has demanded that they personally identify anyone else than the minister in this matter. Of course if anyone takes that information and digs for more, then they will find it, but that is already the case so is not a valid reason either. Due to the minister's previous statements on how parents must be held responsible for their children's acts, so they may be deported, etc, makes this highly politically relevant and the news-media refusing to say which minister it is actually refuse to do their jobs, obstructing the debate needed for healthy democracy, instead apparently treating people with extraordinary power as if instead extraordinarily vulnerable, marginalized persecuted.
Well, new new development, while I was writing: The Minister for Migration has been summoned to the parliamentary "Committee on Social Insurance" and as a result of that also the two largest evening papers in Sweden now report which minister it is, while Public Service radio (SR) and TV (SVT) still just say "the minister", but Public Service TV reported that "When SVT News calls the government office's on call press service nobody answers, which surprises the government's phone switchboard operator. -Very weird, that has never happened before." (my translation) while when the major evening paper Expressen asked the government if the minister is working they got the response "The Ministers are always in service [as in working]. A minister is not an employee in the sense of labor law, but a paid contractor. To be a minister is a duty which applies around the clock, every day of the year" (my translation). Sooo... huh, what? They also asked if the minister was at the latest government cabinet meeting and just got a longwinded statement on how the minutes of the meeting is not completed yet and they can't say when it will be completed.
Get a feeling they are ducking? Maybe? A bit?
The minister may be called to the parliamentary "Committee on the Constitution", a Left Party member said.

This morning the Nazi-campaigner's dad Minister for Migration (and for "Integration") of Sweden went on TV, after a week of stonewalling the revelation of the son's Nazi-activism. The minister stated that "I wish I wasn't in this situation".
The minister previously strongly promoted refugee-families should be deported if a child "misbehaves", but now said "Parental responsibility doesn't mean it always goes right. Sometimes it goes wrong. […] It is about TRYING to succeed.", which is certainly extremely different now that it's Nazi and own parental responsibility failure.
The minister also used the child as a shield to claim "to protect a minor" was the reason for refusing to take responsibility in the press until now, which is pure bullshit. If the minister had proactively taken responsibility instead of actively ducking, then they could have kept focus on the failed dad, preventing widening of topic.
The minister claims to have "had no idea at all" of the >1 year Nazi-activities, although some was in public through the son's public social media account, which the minister follows.
Instead of taking responsibility the minister exploited this personal failure to implicitly promote banning teens from social media, which would devastate their development for an adulthood with social media.
Now also in English: "Migration Minister Johan Forssell breaks silence on son's connections to extreme far-right movements" Public Service radio of Sweden: sverigesradio.se/artikel/migra…
Furthermore, the State Security (SÄPO) spy agency elsewhere assures the public that they do have their own information gathering, related to that the anti-fascist magazine Expo was the first to inform the failed parenting responsibility Migration Minister, just before SÄPO did (while AFA/antifa has had the person's Nazi-campaigning activities under silent surveillance for a long time). Oookay... I didn't think that spy agency (or any) was without "own information gathering". Now... I'm confused and uncertain? Whut?
Sweden's Migration Minister Johan Forssell has for the first time spoken openly about his son's involvement with far-right movements after revelations ...
"Sweden’s migration minister ‘shocked’ by teenage son’s far-right activism" (you CAN write "Nazi" for Nazi-group member) article theguardian.com/world/2025/jul… has several flaws, incl such a foundational one as labeling the minister's party "centre-right", while it has never been anything close to "center". The party's actual history involves mergers of parties like the 1888 "Protectionist Party" from which it became 1910 "United Right Party", then 1912 "National Party" until 1935 becoming the "The Right" party (as in "right-wing", not "justice"... different words in Swedish), until renaming to the "Moderate Party" in 1969 for PR of the times while not making their politics "moderate" but remaining the most right-wing party in parliament until the "Christian Democrat" (disputed claims) party got in 1985 so both competed for most right-wing in parliament, until as late as 2010 when Waffen-SS frontline-volunteers co-founded "Sweden Democrat" party took farthest right-mantle but both of the previous farthest-right parties in parliament keep adopting recent policies of the more recent more hate-based contender, without which they can't govern, thus dragging everyone down doom-pit of far-right authoritarianism. Just because a party puts a PR-claim in their name does not make it true. Politicians lie.

OTD in 1863, Colonel Strong Vincent, a relatively lesser Union leader whose bold stand on Little Round Top on Day 2 saved the Union line, and arguably the Union itself.
On July 2, 1863, Vincent’s brigade was rushed to reinforce the Union left flank as Confederate forces under James Longstreet attacked. Recognizing the undefended Little Round Top—a hill critical to the Union line—Vincent acted without orders, positioning his brigade atop the hill just minutes before Confederate troops from John B. Hood’s division assaulted.
He placed the 20th Maine (under Joshua Chamberlain) on the far left, with his other regiments forming a thin line. As waves of Alabamians struck, Vincent rallied his men, reportedly shouting, “Don’t give an inch!” Struck by a bullet while waving his riding crop, he fell mortally wounded. His brigade, inspired by his example, held firm, with Chamberlain’s bayonet charge sealing the defense. Vincent’s stand saved Little Round Top, securing the Union flank.
Vincent was carried to a nearby farmhouse, where he lingered for five days, dying of his wounds on July 7, 1863, at age 26. he was promoted to brigadier general on his deathbed. Fellow officers, including Chamberlain, praised Vincent’s foresight, with V Corps commander George Sykes noting his loss as “irreparable.” His sacrifice at Little Round Top was initially overshadowed by larger narratives but later recognized as a linchpin of the Union victory.
Strong Vincent’s defense of Little Round Top is now celebrated as a defining moment of Gettysburg. His quick thinking preserved the Union line, enabling the victories of July 3.
@GummyNerds Had the South had defeated the Union at Gettysburg, I think there is a good chance that the North would have accepted terms peace and Southern independence. By saving the day at Little Round Top and allowing the Union to fight on and win the battle on July 3rd, one could argue he was responsible for saving the nation.
First and foremost, the Union was never in jeopardy; it would have continued to exist had Lincoln not fought to deny Southern states their rights. Secondly, Lincoln's war destroyed the Union. Thirdly, Rex Manning can go suck an egg.

This has been brought up before, all major laptop manufacturers have offered linux on their laptops for at least over a decade now. People only noticed it just now since everyone's pissed about Windows 11. It's not new and they're never going to stop offering devices with Windows. It's an option that's always been there but doesn't get attention since few people buy directly from the manufacturer.
@Azur_Fenix SteamOS wont solve the problem, only sidestep it. People will mostly only be willing to use it for games if they're willing to use it at all. It will be a nice uptick in linux usage but hardly a reason for most to use linux overall. Linux development right now has a lot of problems caused by the lack of concrete leadership. I felt like I was having a stroke reading the discussions on Wayland's official development page about how they do not want to add any cross-compatibility functionality for setting a main monitor in case software asks for it (i.e. Windows software running through Wine). It's the kind of feature that users expect to have. Lots of Linux software is full of gaps like that, intentional or not. A good OS like SteamOS cannot fix those kinds of pressing issues unless Valve were to outright take over a lot of linux projects.
phoronix and its consequences... there always has been stupid drama and bike shedding in FOSS (how do you think linus gained infamy) the same way it exist in proprietary software you just don't hear about it behind closed doors and NDAs. the average user does not need to care or know about a protocol discussion, the issue only effects wayland native games anyways which do not exist outside of a couple FOSS/Native games. until x11 truly is dead in +5 years and steam has switched to wayland that protocol will have been long created the same way other essential protocols have like screen sharing and variable refresh rate.
>A good OS like SteamOS cannot fix those kinds of pressing issues unless Valve were to outright take over a lot of linux projects.
wrong. valve can simply implement the code themselves that's the whole point and spirit of free and open source software like they already did numerous times e.g. made HDR on x11 work.
@DarkMahesvara @Azur_Fenix All fair and I don't really think the Wayland situation was that pressing since most DEs handle it instead. It's merely an example of a pointless argument that has been drawn out over a year now that forces cross-platform software (i.e. SDL) to uncross-platform itself for sake of Wayland and only Wayland as it doesn't share a standard that every other platform does for this feature. I got it a little incorrect at first and I do apologize for that. Point was I think drama fucks over FOSS much more since there's far less structure and requirements for any of it. A disagreement can start unrelated to any given project and all of the sudden there's a minefield around with everyone's thoughts and responses. Managers are awful and definitely have issues but there is the benefit of the fact that a manager can force a team to get something users need done. It doesn't matter what happened behind closed doors since the people were paid and forced to make something happen regardless. I'm not championing closed software or anything, rather I'm worried quite a lot of projects have disconcertingly lacking structure. Some would choose to value their political views and arguments over accepting that the guy the disagree with may make good software.
>valve can simply implement the code itself thats the whole point and spirit of free and open source software like they already did numerous times e.g. made HDR on x11 work. This is good but relies entirely on how others react. I imagine most would be willing to also adopt features. I stretched a bit in what I said though. You're right that it'll at least provide something and would likely benefit overall. Not worthless, just not guaranteed to solve problems across the board. Hopefully Valve's contributions can help make others more usable and provide others with what they need. I still stand by SteamOS, as it is being developed, cannot prove to be a good desktop OS. It will need a mostly different build to provide that.
>I still stand by SteamOS, as it is being developed, cannot prove to be a good desktop OS
valve has from the get go prioritized the handheld part with the optional desktop part being exactly that. none of the things discussed here would prevent them from prioritizing the desktop part once they target desktop combined with desktop hardware support making it as good as any other proper distro experience

- Mun tuet, reseptilääkkeet sekä terapia katkesivat yhtäkkiä 4-6kk ajaksi byrokraattisen säästösyyn takia, kun mun asiakkuus siirrettiin yhdestä laitoksesta sellaiseen, missä ei ole jatkolausuntojen kirjoittamisen mahdollisuutta - Jäin toimeentulotuen varaan, toimeentulotukipäätös on nyt kestänyt 13 päivää Kelan kesätukoksen vuoksi (mulla ei ole ollut edes 1 euroa rahaa yli kahteen viikkoon) - Virkailija puhelimessa sanoi kuulevansa ”tätä hätää päivittäin”
@hiljaisuus Kiitos, en osaa sanoa. En voi ottaa oikein rahaa vastaan koska se on kaikki pois toimeentulotuesta (jos sitä joskus myönnetään), ja oon vähän noin muutenkin huono ottamaan apua vastaan, kiristelen hampaitani mieluummin. En siis oikeasti tiedä!
Joo, tämä ongelma toimeentulotuen suhteen on tullut vuosien varrella kovin tutuksi, siksi kysyinkin näin.
Avun ottaminen vastaan ei varmaan ole kenellekään helppoa. Meille on kovasti taottu päähän sitä, että aina ja kaikissa tilanteissa pitäisi pärjätä täysin omillaan, vaikka se on yhteiskunnan fiksaatio, ei ihmisten ominaispiirre.

Yksi ihminen, kuullessaan että oon tänä vuonna kärsinyt nälkää köyhyyden vuoksi kertoi mulle myös oikein avuliaasti, että voisin hengen pitimikseni myydä seksiä ”vaikka tuolle herralle tuolla”. Toinen rikas kertoi, että taloudellinen tilanne on vain mielentila, että ei raha oikeasti vaikuta elämään vaikka sitä nyt sattuisikin olemaan.
Tuntuu vaikealta edes selittää oman elämän realiteetteja hyvätuloisemmille, me eletään niin täysin eri maailmoissa.

ainoo mahdollisuus taitaa olla kääntyä kunnan/kaupungin puoleen ja hakea sieltä (täydentävää) toimeentulotukea. Yleensä tarvitsevat kelan ttt-päätöksen ennen myöntämistä mut toisin kuin kela, nää voi tehdä poikkeuksiakin. 😮💨
Sitten myöhemmin tänään silmiini osui tämä: hs.fi/mielipide/art-2000011316… Että voivat ihmiset olla tyhmiä. Se ettei erota vankilansa luonnollistuneita muureja tekee siitä *pahemman* vankilan. Vasta jos muurit näkee, voi yrittää karata.
About 70 Jewish settlers attacked #IDF reservists near #Ramallah, throwing stones, choking a commander, and damaging military vehicles. Israeli media outlets described them as “Jews,” “citizens,” or “settlers” in headlines. The same outlets call #Palestinians who throw stones “terrorists.” The analysis in the Seventh Eye compared coverage from #Kan 11, #Ynet, Channel 13, and other major #Israeli media, showing different terminology for the same actions based on who commits them.
[…] And how did the main media outlets in Israel describe the incident? On Kan 11, not a media outlet considered a propaganda mouthpiece, this headline was given: “Jews attacked reserve fighters, six arrested.” “Jews.” Not terrorists, not hooligans, not even rioters. What a whitewashed definition for a violent and dangerous incident against IDF soldiers.
[…] When it comes to stone-throwers who are not Jewish, the treatment is completely different. For example, the headline on the “Israel Hayom” website for an article that referred to Palestinians throwing stones at Israeli drivers was “Stone-throwing terror.” When Ynet wanted to report on a case of stone-throwing by Arabs, the headline was “Terrorists threw stones at a bus in Samaria and fled, Israeli citizen injured.“
“Judea and Samaria” (occupied West Bank) in #Ynet and most Israeli media is of course another example of a a cognitive framing which tries to change reality, referring to an occupied land using biblical reality denying terminology.

Wikipedia's fine; it usually sucks but it is convenient. But it was written during the Perpetual Now, and it's more interesting to look at contemporary sources. Before the establishment of the Perpetual Now by paywalled newspapers and shitty goddamn blogs that want to ruun 6MB of JavaScript for engagement farming, there was Usenet and public mailing lists and bulletin boards for discussion and because of bandwidth constraints, "publications" that weren't on physical media were on really lightweight text files. This sort of thing is easy to pass around, it's all viewable regardless of operating system, you have your choice of software. Searching through text and processing text, these are really well-understood pieces of computer science, there are standard tools for doing it on any operating system, and they are so well understood that when you build search, the first thing you do is reduce everything to text; this is the point of software like Tesseract. Even HTML is more or less serviceable (provided you follow Fielding's advice on document structure). But someone babbling in a TikTok video or some four-hour Youtube ramble, a paywalled news site, that's all huge, heavy on bandwidth, and most people don't have a way to view RealMedia videos, soon enough they won't have a way to view .flv files. Nobody worries about this.
I'm not saying this because of nostalgia or anything like that: it is interesting that for that period of history, we have very good records, but it's just that window. Whatever is going on now is all broken links and paywalls and a morass of content-marketing, right, you are at the mercy of major commercial search engines, which are opaque and censored and then further censored in a way that varies by region and then gamed by people trying to make some cash, blogs have to have these massive header images. So one era of history has this really machine-friendly way of recording itself and that was rare before and after: you can read code and text from really old systems but say the bulk of it, the heyday of text files, maybe the mid-80s to the mid-00s.
So I have been reading up a little on Operation Sundevil (I'll probably have some more things to say about it), having gotten interested in it after reading about it in old issues of 2600. If you are not familiar, in 1990 the Secret Service coordinated with local law enforcement to carry out about thirty simultaneous raids across 15 cities and seized BBSs, floppies, etc., but ended up with very few actual arrests, and there was a lot of rhetoric in press releases from law enforcement and it was pretty apparent that they didn't understand the tech. The EFF was founded as a result of a raid that (coincidentally) happened at the same time as the Operation Sundevil raids: Steve Jackson Games was publishing cyberpunk-themed tabletop games and the feds seized the company's BBS because they believed the tabletop game ruleset "GURPS Cyberpunk" was a "hacking manual", they seized half the company's material for their upcoming game (due to be published a month later). All of these independent public communications systems were scooting along, people were dialing in and sending each other messages and then out of nowhere, the cops showed up. The reason someone running a fedi instance should be interested in how that event unfolded is obvious; the German government just arrested that old lady for posting thumbs-up emojis at a joke about a news story. Do you know what it will look like in real-time when they start to *really* notice fedi?
Of course there's a Wikipedia page ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operatio… ) but the contemporary accounts of it are very interesting. Wikipedia is written in retrospect: what did the people that were There say about it while it was happening? Fedi actually matches the culture around the BBSs really closely, so when (or "if" for optimists) this sort of thing happens to fedi, what will it look like? Contemporary accounts of it give you a better feel for how it unfolds. People over- and under-reacting, how you perceive these things with the fog of war (so to speak) in effect.
So, here is a tarball of text files. Phrack is a phreak/hacker publication (was distributed on BBSs and still available as text files) and was one of the targets; FidoNet was the biggest network of BBSs and had a model that caused some really similar inter-board dynamics (read some of the old FidoNews, see if it doesn't resemble fedi instance drama) and they had FidoNews published periodically. Note that spelling varies: "Operation Sundevil", "Operation Sun-Devil", "Operation Sun Devil". I was generous with the grep and it is probably going to be a footnote rather than the main topic. But because they're text files, I could just grab them and use grep. (And, of course, this stuff is what got me to write that uudecode thing in awk: I've been reading these on Plan 9. git.freespeechextremist.com/gi… )
I am below going to break one of my own rules; not an ethical thing but a "I really shouldn't". I try not to say "someone really should": I think you either do it or support someone else that is doing it but "someone really should" is terrible. I am going to be terrible.
And, kind of related, maybe there should be something like FidoNews for fedi: a kind of neutral publication that is independent of any given instance or project, information and announcements for people running instances or using fedi, open submissions, editorial from the staff, maybe interviews, maybe transcripts of the interviews in the Fedi Files podcast, something that people can download and have. It is, at present, easier to understand FidoNet's history than fedi's, because of FidoNews. Fedi has itself (good luck searching) and scattered blogs, and if I decide to shit some awful fedi drama onto the FSE blog, there's not an editor that will reject it: I'm the editor of my blog. That's fine for a blog, but a fedi-wide publication with a couple of editors, you know? I'm sure on the non-ideologue region of fedi there are some people that'd do a reasonable job, I'd be happy to help or send some material, but I am really not fit to be the editor, among other things I am too stubborn and I will spend my time arguing with people about their submissions instead of just publishing them (and aside from that, being the FSE admin carries some baggage that this publication shouldn't have to deal with). Tom Jennings (creator of FidoNet and main editor of FidoNews for most of its history) is on fedi and I would be surprised if he wants to be the editorial staff for that but you can probably ask him for advice (and probably should because I have *never* dialed into a FidoNet BBS but FidoNews is still an interesting read). So, sorry to "someone should" but someone should.

Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality. The Mexican flag doesn't represent a race, it represents a country. Hispanic is not a race, it's really just people who share a language. Which really isn't a shared culture at all.
Mexicans claim their Hispanic ancestry from... Spain. And last time I checked, Spanish people are... WHITE and... EUROPEAN. And most Mexican Americans are... WHITE.
Americans aren't prejudice against your race, they are opposed to illegal immigration. Coming from Mexico. Which is a corrupt, shithole country that produces ignorant people. It's also slightly socialist.
Being born in American, you have the luxury of abandoning that identity and becoming the proud people you see yourself as. But instead, you choose to identify with the dregs of humanity.
I am libertarian, and I am probably a little bit more socially liberal than other users here. But all commies can go to hell. If you insist on subjugating yourself to Marxist identity politics, then you have no hope, and you have no sympathy from me

so i'll just roll for her and not her weapon.
