  • American: I have been to Jutland! I love Jutland.

    Visits Midtjylland only 🤡

    Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Midtjylland is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of Jutland and especially Vestjylland where the oldest viking town is, where Dronning Dagmar died, where witches were burned, where old fisheries and new energy tech stand side by side, where beautiful beaches are littered with crazy nazi bunkers, where you can go north and surf or go south and see the flattest fucking place in the world, walking across the Vadehav to a literal island at low tide.

    But no no. mIdTjYlLaNd is Denmark. The one place in Jutland where no one speaks Jutlandic, lol.




  • I guess there is some cultural nuance - my impression is that for some people, sexual exclusivity is understood as an impossible virtue which it is important to appear to uphold, but where breaking it is kind of like sneaking a cigarette after having quit.

    Which doesn’t make them untrustworthy necessarily, they just have a different understanding of how big of a deal it is.


  • I’d say symbols are a constant negotiation between meanings. The swastika is lost, but other symbols like Nordic runes are only fully lost if we surrender them. We must fight to insist on the meaning of the symbols not yet lost to evil.

    “From the river to the sea; Palestine will be free.” This is the slogan I hear. I hear no violence in these words, only a call for freedom for all Palestinians in what used to be Palestine. I can’t help but think that the misunderstanding of this slogan is willful.

    If this slogan is surrendered to evil, how long before the accusations start against the next slogan? Is waving a Palestinian flag the same as condoning terrorism? Is saying the word “genocide” an act of aggression against Israel? Shouldn’t we defend that when we call for freedom, we mean that and just that? And refuse those who would make such a simple call for freedom illegal and associated with evil?

    We can be part of controlling the meaning of these things, not only evil can do that.


  • Why does Hamas get to decide what the slogan means? Psychos in the US are using the punisher logo, does that mean that Marvel is promoting what they do?

    Part of freedom is to not relent when you are being told to shut up, to change your message, to obey. If you are fighting for the freedom of oppressed people and the cessation of violence against innocents, and the people hearing you say “stop saying that, say something else”, you don’t obey, you say it harder until they listen to what you’re actually, clearly stating: all people deserve freedom and a life without violence.














  • Sometimes you think you say the right thing, but you didn’t, and you’ll have to live with the consequences. This is a major part of the Witcher games, that your actions have possibly unforeseen consequences that you’ll have to live with.

    Accept that Triss has made her choice. If you don’t want to be with Yen, then don’t be with anyone, that’s completely fine.
