BigglesSWE posted:I forget, did Hanif Bali manage to slither away from Bulletin before this or is he still associated with them? If so, I wonder how he will internalise this with his “can’t fail only be failed” self-image. On a personal level, I though it was hilarious joined on as their auto correspondent after he nearly ran me over on his phone.

jeebus bob posted:Somebody please elaborate on that convicted triple murderer thing It's like, not even an exaggeration. He shot three guys twenty years ago, in an attempt to steal their car after luring them to an abandoned spot. He then studied in prison, picking up nine (!) university diplomas. Including one based on a thesis on flaws in psychopathy treatment in Sweden. He's been writing for a big legal magazine before he was headhunted (lol) by the Bulletin leadership because hey, that hole fiasco needed to jump the shark a third time that week and he was just sitting there.

One of the funnier moments is listening to the recording made of a dispute in Bulletins editorial office between mainly Tino and the journos. Tinos voice and rhetoric does him no favours. Heated discussion among the people on the board meeting but Tinos speech just doesnt command any authority or respect. He sounds like a angry petty little man while really trying to sound assertive.

I'm lightly amused that this is the first I hear about Bulletin at all. Maybe I just don't read enough Swedish news any more because it's all either banal or depressing.

With that said, they should've stripped her and her family of everything. They were all in on it, and it has hurt untold thousands of the poorest and most downtrodden people. E: And you just know she or her children gets to have a book ghostwritten about this whole thing. THE BAR fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Feb 19, 2022 |

I just think it's funny, the Benefits Service can garnish your tax refunds if you're on welfare, but not money that was literally stolen from the state. I think a lot of people would probably exchange 6½ years of their life for 117 million.

They can still take her money in the usual ways the state can get money out of people from fines or taxes or whatever. Like they confiscated her house and sold it. She still owes 117 million. Once she gets pension payments they can take an amount every month (but they have to leave enough for reasonable living expense). They just cant take away her legitimately earned (though 40+ years work) pension without taking the normal steps about it. I agree that probably a lot of people would make the trade of 20 great years of unlimited consumerism vs 6 years in jail and then being poor’ish the rest of the time. Especially if you have nothing to lose.

My five öre on the whole Bulletin thing is that this is what you get when you mix money, people with massive egos and a lack of overall plan. I have seen a similar thing happen in academia. I guess one good thing coming out of this is that a fair number of conservative egos got exposed and probably blacklisted. Arpi seems to only run on substack nowadays. Gudmundson will probably walk over to another newspaper once the money coffee is empty.

When Kvartal (Bulletin 1.0, lobbying organization masquerading as a media institution) was founded the people involved where clever enough to keep the seed capital massive (five times that of Bulletin) and the staff numbers low. As such, even if a complete commercial failure it can just keep on going for over a decade with no new outside financing. It made some of the same mis-steps (notably the failed poaching of VBK which can't have been cheap) but has since then comfortably been one mans vanity project. Now Bulletin had thread favorite and delusional idiot Tino at the helm. Who seems to have envisioned that this was his big startup break, and conned a few rich idiots into believing that vision. I mean the idea that Bulletin would ever stand on its own legs when it paid thrice the going rate for mediocre writers (who are traditionally hired for their ideology rather than their consumer appeal) is just laughable. Similarly gathering a bunch of attitude writers who live for clout, drama and racism under one banner was just asking for trouble.

In one sense it is hilarious they never figured out how to do the same grift that ETC have been doing for ages. Which Kvartal and Nya Tider managed, but I guess lesser number of egos explain a lot.

the funny thing about bulletin is that there's actually a pretty large amount of money sloshing around for right-wing think tanks and prestige magazines, they would've just had to not be an immediate failure and they might've been able to tap into it but no, someone decided that this had to be extra stupid and now that's how it is

Anyone in here in Hemvärnet? Im thinking maybe i ought join. Anything worth knowing beforehand? Also, whats the chance of us and Finland going the NATO route? A week ago id say it wouldn't happen in my lifetime, but now? Who knows. E: also, do they drugtest? Im rather fond of uh, "herbs" Gedt fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Feb 24, 2022 |

I hope that Finland joins Nato and Sweden won't, then as Putin is looking for vulnerable targets he has no other options but to invade Sweden. Then Finland intervenes by sending "peacekeepers" to Tornedalen and correct the error of 1809  Gedt posted:E: also, do they drugtest?

Gedt posted:Anyone in here in Hemvärnet? Fitness requirements are non-existent, but if you're too out of shape, they will wear you out until you quit yourself. If you did lumpen and want to join as a rifleman then you just decide what battalion/company you want to join and email them. Expect this to take about 6 months If you want to join as a specialist (medic, staff, signalist etc) you need to join a Frivilligorganisation like Försvarsutbildarna, sign an utbildningsavtal and then take courses to learn your speciality. Expect this to take about 12 months If you did not do lumpen then specialist is your only option, and you need to do a grundutbildning för frivilliga plus your specialist training. Expect this to take about 18 months. Every step starts with picking a home guard battalion and emailing them. Tell them your background and what you want to be. Personally I'm on a 6 hour notice so this is my couch for the forceable future.  Gedt posted:E: also, do they drugtest? Im rather fond of uh, "herbs" They do not drug test you, but if you get convicted for using herbs, then they will kick you out.

I'm leaning closer to the idea that Sweden probably should join NATO. I'm not fond of the idea of Swedish troops being sent to die in Eastern Europe. But on the other hand, we probably have 3 volunteers for every available slot to do that. So more power to them, I guess?

I am a trained Undersköterska, so ill go medic then I suppose. When I mönstrade, they rejected me 'cause of my bum knee, will that be an issue? I work in hemtjänsten and i dont drive, so im used to being on my feet and running around like an idiot, 6 or so hours a day, granted without a 10kg backpack. I also got some minor, but noticable on an x-ray, wear and tear on two discs in my lower back. Also, whats in hemvärnets purview if poo poo does happen? Ive always assumed itd be sit around and guard poo poo, so as to allow the actual army to do more important poo poo E: as for NATO, previously it has been my opinion that we should've opted out of being even just a partner country, but as of this week, ive been starting to reevaluate that. I havent yet actually come to a conclusion on where i stand in regards to joining, as of typing this, though im starting to lean towards we ought join.

Sweden and Finland need to join NATO so we have an easier time creating a Nordic nuclear umbrella under the noses of the Americans.

Gedt posted:Cool! Thank you! Nah, at the mönstring they need to weed out 85% of the people going there, so they'll use any reason to remove people from the pool of potential värnpliktiga. At hemvärnet it's usually the opposite in my experience, that they don't have enough volunteers and will be a lot more likely to find a spot for you if you're interested. In a war the bulk of hemvärnet would basically sit around and guard poo poo while the army does the main fighting, yes. They'd also take care of civilians, make sure that infrastructure don't fall apart, etc. But they also have troops that would do pretty much most of the assignments of the army, from surveillance to more or less guerilla warfare. They also do other useful things during peace time like help with floods and digging people out of snow storms etc when needed.

Gedt posted:Cool! Thank you! It shouldn't be a problem. There's 50+ year olds with double bad knees who get in. If you're a nurse you could also join as company nurse. Each medic group has around 5 medics and a nurse. Gedt posted:Also, whats in hemvärnets purview if poo poo does happen? Ive always assumed itd be sit around and guard poo poo, so as to allow the actual army to do more important poo poo It depends on what kind of company you join. There's the motorized Insattskompani and the static bevakningskompani. Bevakningskompani are infantry guard units, they are expected to do 6 days a year in peacetime. In war they guard only. They have no vehicles, so the regular military or an Insattskompani will take a point. The bevakningskompani will then come in with civilian transport vehicles and occupy that point. Insattskompani (the kind I'm in) on the other hand are heavily motorized and depend on rapid movement. They attack and defend. We're expected to do 8 days a year but also get paid more as a result. During war, the regular military acts as a spearhead and Hemvärnet then moves in and fortify those positions. As well as guard key objectives and harass the enemy with superior local knowledge of the area. There are a lot of misunderstandings about how many days you are expected to deploy in case of war. The real answer is until the war is over.

Yes, but the important thing is that you aren't legally members, meaning you don't get to ...have a Swede as the figurehead? Also you get to pretend to be neutral, unlike Denmark, which is mostly just ready to go to whatever war USA wants.
