that’s a realistic personal fear.

i do mean grassroots change as in people being the change to see in the world. while i’m certain this needs protection from any sabotage (see american interventionism) i know it needs to be an empathic core of pacifism at heart where conflict doesn’t entail violence and competition doesn’t entail polemy.

i wonder if money is the impossibility, since money existed before writing allegedly, or if military power to disrupt is the impossibility- arms dealing is a supply that creates demand historically (broadly speaking, with emphasis on the automated arms deals that ignited cold wars and FOMO all around while warmongerers profiteered- hence divesting oligarch-amounts of money to begin with.)

so it’s systemic and needs cultural activism at grassroots level to truly change the landscape?

i suppose death of such people only inspire such grassroots change after all, not actually changes as much by itself- like directly.

thank you for the clear overview

wack that you and OP get downvotes for stating a sane question and a great recommendation

i’ve been meaning to report on the state of nordic countries alot more. now i did a bit

i encourage you to compose some and share some!

these began without allowance from state. originally barns on ‘bondgårdar’ were dedicated to this purpose seasonally by ‘bönder’, so there was direct source of food and space given on “private property”. these days all ‘folkhögskolor’ have long-courses — spanning a year (august to june) with some for permaculture and other agrarian purposes starting in january — and short-courses, spanning a week. these days most ‘folkhögskolor’ act as hostels and conference halls too in addition to gymnasiums for teens who y’know hate being in state gymnasium. (edit: the oldest students i’ve met are retired 60 year olds. no age restriction on folkhögskolor.) sympathic way forward, my life would’ve been better had i gone this route sooner than later.

i would suggest finding private property owners who can provide a kitchen, showers and space to house people (bunkbeds can be a start before finding everyone a separate room.) maybe you who read this are one such private property owner? /rhetorical question

i would also suggest finding ‘studieförbund’ like ABF, NBV, IOGT-NTO etc. equivalents for funding and mostly as these are a short-cut through paperwork to legitimize the endeavour as an education with legal right to endow grades and certifications. like reading up school grades, becoming a certified plumber, et al.

regardless of if these two are known to you or anyone today i strongly recommend everyone to just travel here on a study visa ASAP. our government hates ‘folkhögskolor’ and are aggressively defunding these. it’s also more and more real-life hidden lore to know of ‘folkhögskolor’. how our entire wellfare comes from educating the marginalized in society at ‘folkhögskolor’. we have 155 still right now, something like one in every city. most are never full because people don’t know they exist these days: so you and anyone have good chances to get in. on the one i am at right now i met with an english citizen, a german citizen, an austrian citizen, an irish citizen and many refugees from war-torn countries coming here to learn swedish. think of this as a boarding school with cheap prices and no barriers to entry. everyone wants you to succeed here.

i would be glad to keep talking of this, compiling & translating & sharing hard-to-discover knowledge on a sub dedicated to ‘folkhögskolor’ and in direct messages- whether here on the FediVerse or 1-on-1 over chatmail (an E2EE email evolution. see the free libre open source DeltaChat & it’s twin project ArcaneChat.)

applause that you move your family off of those exploitative spywares!

GoboLinux ftw

somewhere outside the binary… welcome =)

magnetlink to any linux package repo torrent if you don’t mind?

i don’t wanna scrape since it takes forever and burdens

to summarize the conclusions thus far, as is my secretary duty

amendments to the protocol of this EU directive are as follows in the first line of stallings amendments:

TECO is to be legacy alternative to EMACS and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

ED is to be legacy alternative to VIM and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

up for further discussion: are ideologically united editors such as VILE (VI Like Emacs) middleground or offensive to both parties? is it right of marginalized editors to invoke a non-monopolyculture clause: “will SAM or VIS be up for consideration?” asks [name redacted under GDPR]

oh my gosh yesplease

i mean Japan is increasingly uninhabitable with all the climate change so. makes sense. glad it’s one of the historically original studios fwiw

here’s an address to a sockpuppet account i just made using ArcaneChat and the official chatmail servers, for anyone’s interest in testing it out in vitu

maybe! =)

cool that you are of a mind to contribute to the projects you rely on.

i am personally curious now: are you using another email provider for chatting with other’s regular email addresses? i imagine the deltachat programs are optimized for use with chatmail addresses exclusively- and other email providers either playing nice with open standards or not. for example i hear there is a hassle tuning things to fit proprietary email providers.

be a stickler for rhetoric, i’ll say it how i see it when i read something wack.

idc for the continued argument about whichever topic you threw in there - open borders? so i’m dropping that. nothing personal, don’t take offense.

an assumption that i don’t mean fascist is ‘godtycklig’ here, the meaning is worth clarifying forever though:

fascism is the cultural uniformity of people as enforced by fearmongering and discrimination against marginalized groups of freethinkers by the sacking of the state apparatus for wellfare (education, healthcare and care in a broader sense) and direct communication between populace & governance (rn the situation antagonistic bothways with apathy from voters towards parties and detachement from party leaders who flaunt wealth in Gatsby style… in the 1980s the swedish prime minister was interviewed by literal children about the nuclear question and there was no denying even such journalists interviews & airtime.) Fascism occurs when capital institutions are situated above state apparatus (privatization of government, to begin with this occured most prominently from the IT sector in educational systems being digitized then other parts of wellfare and now collective traffic is at the whims of overpaid & underdelivering tech companies pandering AI features that break critical digital infrastructure for the first time in me family’s lifetime… that is a footnote for future reference, but not for any continued discussion in this thread.)

my sources are three generations around a family dinner table, friends and guests for the past decades.

now i’m closing the discussion from my end, but i am glad about getting some anecdotes written down & shared online =) ✌️

we are sparsely populated and have the world’s best agro-forestry policies in place. alot of room for improvement, like Lübeck style forestry…

still collective traffic is in chaos from AI scalpers urging services like AI reading of bus- and trainstops. since the pandemic. unbearably bad pronounciation and insane costs. for the first time cameras are put up in public spaces and immense amounts of private security guards are patrolling. on collective traffic’s budget cost. no income, just expenditure for worse services. because refugees and racist politicians appealing to a “social media” radicalized society of sleepwalkers. yes, nordic country has sleepwalkers. safe big wellfare bubble. people still await Olof Palme’s return. that’s what right-wing fash propaganda is appealing to: the old socialist wellfare ways. yet it’s ironic and insincere.

https://www.sustainabledevelopmentindex.org/time-series

for anyone reader’s interest: here’s an insider look into what the graph tells of the Nordic countries.

the reason all of Nordic countries were at the top was because after the 2nd world war we held the world’s highest class-mobility. to create educative children’s shows was the highest social status among artists. to go to ‘folkhögskolor’ was the norm. none of this wellfare was funded on a war-machine but high taxes (think 1/3 is taxes on anything) and Keynesian economics (think tax the rich, make being a worker into a social status symbol, reward loyal workers with a middle-class life like lifelong income stability and luxury goods like free vacation homes from the workplace. as thanks for loyalty. we called eachother “SJ barn” if we were children of a family working in swedish national railways, it became a status thing and a league of it’s own to work generationally for a workplace. strengthens bonds internally.)

now coming off of seventy something years of charismatic “left-wing” party leaders, our prime minister was assassinated in an alley one night in 1986. Olof Palme was dead. public shock. no one wanted to believe it.

i am at first glance surprised the chart shows Sweden peaking into net-neutral climate emissions per this index in 1993, because after the assassination we had the weakest government in Sweden’s history, but at second glance i am not surprised. it was the culmination of almost a century of “left wing” politics. Sweden was riding that wave before the unorganized “right-wing” realized opportunities in this weak government’s place. the following decades for Sweden was and has been increasingly cold “right-wing” politics. it took thirty years but now austerity politics has defunded and cut down the wellfare system to be on the level of efficiency of other countries and our climate politics is at the lowest it’s ever been. there is no political courage and no party politics: only individual politicians managing perception, vainly, in polls. Sweden is a polar opposite today in political government than in the wake of Olof Palme’s assassination. we see that reflect in the worsening emissions. i’d go on to say sweden is less diverse today when racists in government go out to say “we"ll pay you tax money to go back to where you came from, immigrants”(!!!) compared to our 1970s 1980s when television quota was “every fourth child shown on children’s television must be representative of marginalized people in swedish society” so we had a quota. americans cry about DEI whatever. we had that in the 70s 80s while educating about Iran Iraq and children forced into labour in chinese factories and breaking toxic gender stereotypes of “brutal boys” and “gentle girls”. read the documentation from someone who was there in the television inddustry: Malena Jansson - när bara den bästa TV:n var bra nog åt barnen. (when only the best TV was good enough for the children.)

USA to the west, Russia to the east, nordic countries in the middle - especially Sweden led that way. Olof Palme was everyone’s favourite prime minister.

as for Norway… they began drilling oil… once oppressed by Sweden & Denmark since just after the viking ages, suddenly financially strong and independent. it was good for them and they’re deserving of freedom from their colonized oppressors. i know there is more sea-based wind-power in norway these days than anywhere else and that the oil rigs are kept up to the highest scrutiny for pollution filters in the world. still, a stronger nordic economical union would lower that need for them to drill.

idk what happened for Finland to drift into emitting so much pollution. my educated guess is increased military tensions at their border to Russia since Olof Palme died. the european peace agreement between nordic countries and Russia was named after Olof Palme. thirty years later only scandals and tatters from the dropped ball that was de-militarization and peace activism on state levels. these states used to hold other states accountable peacefully while leading by example. it used to be that this one part of the world enforced other parts of the world to follow suit. now no such standard exists. our literal government handed Greta Thunberg over to Israeli torture themselves. i am not surprised if the current Prime Minister enjoys that and has paid any money for humiliating footage of her from the five days she was kept there. five days of swedish diplomats walking away from their in-person interviews with her and downplaying the degree of torture to family members through their teeth. Ulf Kristersson (of “the Liberals”, a party formerly named the Christian “Democrats”) & Jimmy Åkesson (of the Sweden “Democrats”, formerly of the literal youth nazi party) are crooks just like Nixon & Reagan & Bush. Not like Trump level.

welp They are not my politicians. nordic countries are at an all-time authoritarian & short-term-profit crisis after thirty years of weaker political leadership. i’d say we didn"t enter the network era gracefully, as per Manuell Castell’s terminology, after being the world’s finest states in the service era.

are you right in the head?? the first link you send is to the racist shit the most fascist government in nordic state’s history are up to - “our” politicians are out on the streets beating up refugees without getting smacked some sense into.

i’ll reply more when i see what other links you’re sending
