Shorthand: If someone expresses that US Imperialism is a stain upon the earth whose sin can never be washed clean, but Soviet or Chinese imperialism is either acceptable or just didn't happen, you're talking to a tankie.

Someone who is openly apologetic/denialist for left wing authoritarian governments committing atrocities. Originally it comes from people defending the Soviets sending tanks into Hungary and Czech in the 50s-60s and people defending that. It's expanded since the original definition.

Just eilen keskustelin, miten äärioikealla analyysit vasemmistolaisesta ajattelusta eivät koskaan perustu mihinkään konkretiaan, vaan äärioikean omien asenteitten ja pelkojen heijastukseen. Turkkilan twiittama ketju oiva esimerkki. Miksi kuunnella palestiinalaiskativisteja jos voi keksiä asioita?

Onko muuten politiikka aina ollut sellainen, että kaikki osapuolet näkevät kaiken olevan romahtamassa vai onko tämä nyt sitä polarisaatiota?
Vihreät - Vasemmisto: Ympäristö (ja fasistit)
Kokoomus: Valtionvelka (ja kommunistit)
Persut: Maahanmuutto, naispoliitikot (ja kommunistit)

I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should

Sure… but have you done the numbers to show how much food you can actually produce if imports are disrupted?
Finnish farm lobby has used security of supply as the reason for subsidies for decades, but as far as I know, haven’t done that. In fact they’ve actively resisted anyone doing the numbers.

The Federation of Swedish Farmers is already campaigning for that 1.5% civil defence spending.

I have dreamed about an agricultural subsidies auction, which would combine the nation security of supply, healthy diet and environmental effects and price.
The winners of the auction would get the subsidies and rest of the agribusiness would have to survive as any other business.

Absolutely mind-boggling series of events.
- Netanyahu's team wants to leak a document to discredit protestors
-They can't leak it within Israel because all Israeli journalism must be run through the army's censorship department
-So instead they leak it to a far-right German tabloid

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.
this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

On ehkä vähän tulkinta kysymys, kannattaako Stubbin toteamus tulkita kannanotoksi geopolitiikan pysyvästä luonteesta vai pyrkimykseksi vaikuttaa tämänhetkiseen tilanteeseen.
Onko tämä joku geopoliittinen selviö? Että moninapaisuutta ei voi olla yhdessä sääntöpohjaisen järjestyksen kanssa?
President Stubb: we either have a rules-based international order or a multipolar world. The latter would be disorderly.
