I've yet to see anyone coming to the defence of the rioters. At most people are (rightfully) stating the obvious: that Danish asshat has no political depth beyond "brown people bad" so he's using cheap provocation stunts to rile up hate towards him (for sympathy) and hate towards immigrants as a whole. It's perfectly reasonable to note this while at the same time condemning the violence and car burnings, which is, in fact, what's going around as far as I can see.

I see a lot of eggs on Twitter insisting that the left media sphere is rushing out to cuddle the rioters as innocent babies (while showing no example of such coverage at all) like they claim about literally everything ever, but, you know, Twitter eggs, so it is what you can expect.

While I do get the point that the fash does want attention, they want acceptance and power a lot more. I have never seen them praise counterprotester for their efforts, that's more of a few bad faith decorum-based talking point; they're generally quite upset whenever they meet opposition.

Everything is relative. The outcome is good for their propaganda, but they want legitimacy most of all. It's also a simplification to claim counterprotesters want this kind of outcome. They want to obstruct nazi rallies; just because they don't shy away from confrontations with the police does not mean that is the goal. The police response throws fuel on the fire.

I think it's more closer to the truth that it's a shitshow all around rather than to say this is the outcome everyone wants. Banning nazi rallies avoids this outcome, it's clearly the way to go.

I feel like your being a little vague in everything except your conclusion. Are you saying if they'd been met with indifference or passive counterdemonstrations it would have increase their legitimacy, and this would have been a preferable outcome for them to what happened? To be specific about my view, I have no doubt that what occurred was the expected and desired outcome of their stunt, and that they will gain much more from it in both the short and long term than otherwise.

I am saying that Nazis would have preferred to be allowed to complete their rallies unopposed. They want to march in the streets, deliver speeches, recruit and practice their politics openly in general. That's legitimacy, and probably also necessary for the movement to grow beyond being just a spectacle. They try to make the best of their agitator status, and always try to spin the negative response they get, whether it is active or passive, into something that helps their cause, but saying this is the ideal outcome for them is just inaccurate, and plays into their hand a bit. A pessimistic view might be describing it as about as good of a outcome as they could expect, but there are some depressing counterexamples to that.

I just got shook down by kids knocking on my door for "påskgodis". Is this even a tradition of any sort? Do kids trick or treat during Easter? I mean I was fine offloading all the saltlakrits I got from the office to them, but I've never heard of this before.

It is. Don't ask me where it came from, but it's just as legal for anyone below the age of 13 to rob you of your candy during easter as it is during halloween.

In Finland this is a thing on the Sunday before Easter (Palm Sunday). Kids dress up as witches and perform this weird blessing ritual with a tree branch and give you the branch in exchange for candy.

There's a Wikipedia page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virvonta

Kids dressing up as witches (or easter bunny or whatever) is a tradition where I live, it's always done on saturday however (though this differs between finnish and swedish speaking regions in Finland). I dunno how exactly it's done in Sweden or other countries.

Yes Swedish kids dressing up as witches (påskakärringar) is tradition, but there are several local variations. In some regions they would make decorative cards and hand them out. In some regions trade cards for money or candy. In some regions just receive money or candy without cards. This tradition has, understandably, been mixed up with halloween traditions in recent times.

Only had 1 visit from kids with handdrawn cards asking for candy. They probably hate me. Gave them a bag of skumägg, which i had bought previously in the mistaken assumption that they were coated chocolate eggs (e.g mandelägg). I hate that kind of skumgodis but hopefully the kids dont.

quote:

I Österbotten i Finland förekom ännu under början av 1900-talet parallellt med de moderna påskhäxorna en äldre utklädningstradition där barn klädde ut sig till påsktroll. Inom påsktroll-traditionen gick barnen runt i grupper som jagade och retades med varandra, men i norra svensktalande Österbotten förekom det även att trollen obemärkt försökte överlämna påskbrev genom att kasta in dem i stugorna.[6]

That's interesting.... Never heard of this tradition, but it reminds me of another tradition we do have on "lilla jul", kids try and deliver christmas cards by throwing them into peoples houses without being seen coming or leaving. I wonder if it's related, maybe morphed into this.
