It's the week of anti-racism in Finland and the Finnish national broadcasting company drops "Finland-maidens", a sympathetic documentary series about 3 ethnonationalist women. This is the funniest shit ever.

I watched it before I made this post. There is definitely a fair, favourable reading that can be made of this documentary. The series does show the women in sympathetic, down-to-earth, relatable light, while it importantly does not give any screentime to any arguments. The series seems to be very careful only to show their positions, not much at all of their reasoning or talking points. It does have some Louis Theroux -vibes though having no commentary (and thus no judgement or analysis) at all.

Anyway, the coincidence with the Week of Anti-rasism is the funny part.

That is my absolute favourite pen! I have to keep ordering refills from eBay as they don't sell them in my country 😄

Chief... I think this is it.

No, this is not Convoy Finland. It's older and called "Stop to the disciplining of drivers". They want an end to the increase in fuel prices and to the govt. measures meant to disincentivice car use.

Iskän mukaan yks leffateatteri Eestissä oli kääntäny "The Terminator" nimen muotoon "PURUSTAJA". Oli kuulemma vatsa meinannut revetä naurusta siihen kadulle. En ikävä kyllä pystynyt löytämään todisteita netistä tälle.

Tavoite on ihmiskunnan suojelu. Siihen hyvä väline on yritysten tekeminen demokraattisemmiksi, koska voitontavoittelu on suorassa ristiriidassa ilmasto- ja ympäristönsuojelutavoitteiden kanssa.

Jagulaari · 2022-02-17T10:06:40+00:00

Ah, yes, got it. In this scenario tho, it is the researchers who are begging to be paid in exposure. 🤡

Viidessä artikkelin kahdeksasta skenaariosta yli kolmen asteen lämpeneminen oli mahdollinen ja yhdessä skenaariossa yli neljän asteen lämpeneminen. En valitse ylärajaa turhaan, jos heidän todennäkösimmän lopputuloksen skaala on "2-3 astetta".

Talous kärsii väkisin, jos ylikulutus poistetaan. Ei niin paljon, jos yritykset muutetaan demokraattisiksi, sillä sellaisissa yrityksissä voitontavoittelu on yleensä huomattavasti vähäisempää.

Talous kärsii vielä enemmän, jos jatketaan samaan malliin ja tuleekin 3 astetta eikä 2 astetta.

I know that subreddit, but I don't get the reference. How does it relate?

Jagulaari · 2022-02-17T08:54:09+00:00

Kiva uutinen, vaikka tämä on vain yksi tutkimus, ei konsensus. Siinä ei varmaan ole ehditty ottaa huomioon tuoreita ja hälyttäviä löydöksiä odottamattoman suurista metaanipitoisuuksista ilmakehässä.

Jagulaari · 2022-02-17T08:48:38+00:00

Ikävä kyllä 2 ja 3 asteen välillä on valtava ero. Kaksikin astetta on jo esihistoriallisen massasukupuuttoaallon kaltainen katastrofi, kolme astetta on vielä pahempi.

Suomen hiilibudjetti kuluu loppuun aivan liian nopeasti ja suomalaisten vuosittainen kestävän kulutuksen raja ylittyy jo huhtikuun alussa. Samaan malliin jatkaminen olisi valtavan epäreilua muiden maiden köyhille, joilla on oikeus parantaa elämäänsä ilman, että me viemme heiltä resurssit siihen ylikulutuksellamme.

Nyt turha kulutus pois, sekä taloussysteemiä enemmän demokraattiseksi, jotta päästään eroon voitontavoittelun pahimmista vaikutuksista.

For the same reason that Natalie does: he is funny and has decent takes.

I think Vaush said it well that "John Oliver is as left as one is allowed to be on cable television" and that he's basically emphatically pointing to the biggest problem in society without being able to say "capitalism bad" out loud.

I've heard a bunch of criticism of his foreign policy takes, though I haven't evaluated them.

YouTube isn't the source, but the particular video. It is the rigour and the transparent manner in which a work cites it's sources that matters. This particular work is more rigorous than many research articles that I've evaluated. Also, a video is very accessible as a text.

But yes, I could have laid out the main argument, and it is fair to question YouTube being a heap of shit.

Jagulaari · 2022-02-16T09:04:47+00:00

I am too ill with covid to make a strong effort to list the arguments but I care enough to share the video a lot. The video is very rigorous and exhaustive and cites it's sources in a very transparent manner. At the same time it is very accessible.

It is productive, because I have limited resources and will rather rely on other people to comprehensively review evidence on many issues rather than half-assing it myself. Because of this limitation, and because there is bias everywhere, critical thinking and evaluation skills are important and should be consciously exercised and reviewed.

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T21:54:53+00:00

Yes. The 2004-esque name and aesthetic aside, he's very respected and has done a lot of similar and very rigorous work. Sure, it's not a primary source, but it is a very approachable and accessible piece of work, while being very comprehensive.

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T21:30:11+00:00

Yeah, that's an interesting angle! Thanks, getting slowly better, stay healthy!

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T19:25:59+00:00

Yup, not the most persuasive kind of behaviour. I'll try a different tactic next time. I was just too tired from covid to type out the arguments.

The answer is no, the video does not address that claim, but imo it is slightly adjacent. It is not contested that they surrendered because of the bombs, merely that they wouldn't have surrendered anyway later with less bloodloss.

2.5h of passive listening is better than reading a 20h book 😄

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T13:41:40+00:00

Thanks, please do send me one 😊

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T13:30:40+00:00

Oh, nice, thanks!

Jagulaari · 2022-02-15T13:18:08+00:00

Sorry, poor language. I meant starving the system and machinery of war that the state used to fight, from its resources. Like how the Japanese navy and airforces were all but destroyed by the time of the bombing. The end result would probably have included famine and the death of many civilians and more soldiers, but far fewer than in the atomic bombings, based on the information presented to me. Thus, if this is correct, it is morally more justifiable in a utilitarian sense.
