what, exactly, is a batongliberal? noticed it in the comments section of an article about L wanting to put a kiddie lock on phone usage past kl23 (lol, lmao).

I can find the term in use when I google it which has narrowed down what it could mean, but not exactly a definition?

You know when many of the Swedish liberals says that personal liberty is the #1 most important thing, which is why taxes is bad and restrictions on private schools is bad etc, but also everyone moving to Sweden while being brown needs to integrate by 100% learning fluent Swedish or get booted out and also stop and frisk is a good thing and more jails and harsher punishment is very important, and actually SD has very good ideas on restricting islamic symbols etc. etc.? Yes? Those are batongliberaler. People who outwards say they are liberals but mostly champion very conservative policies. The dictionary should have betongliberaler as an illustration of cognitive dissonance.

Historically I think the language tests has been one of the major batongliberal policy over the years, and then they've just become more and more influential in the party as they have had to abandon most of the liberal ideas to jive with the Tidö agreement. A lot of the internal opposition to it in the party have left or been beaten into submission.

You should read that article SplitSoul linked. This was a deeply lovely dude. If he was your personal friend, I can see being sad, but I don't see any reason everyone else should rend their garments.

Here's what Pape thought of the genocide, some twenty thousand Palestinian corpses in:

He wanted to propagandize schoolchildren because young people don't support Israel.

quote:

Jeg får beskeder, der tager udgangspunkt i, at Israel brutalt myrder civile, og at vi alle lukker øjnene for dette, særligt når Israel er en besættelsesmagt, der har taget palæstinensernes land. Jeg har ikke tal på, hvor ofte jeg hører dette. Det har fået mig til at tænke, at enten er historieløsheden total, eller også har nogle en helt anden dagsorden, der handler om, at Israel ikke længere skal eksistere.

Vi har i Det Konservative Folkeparti foreslået, at der nationalt udarbejdes et nuanceret og objektivt undervisningsmateriale, så vi sikrer, at der undervises i dette emne, og at lærerne forhåbentlig tør undervise i dette. Også i områder med stor muslimsk population.

He states that Palestinians have no right to the land, because it belonged to the British who stole it from the Ottoman Empire, and so on. It's free real estate, a victimless crime really.

quote:

Jeg tror desværre, at virkeligheden er den, at mange (primært) yngre tror, at staten Israel blev dannet med verdenssamfundets accept, og at man for at give jøderne deres eget land efter Anden Verdenskrig tog et land, Palæstina, og gav det til jøderne. Det lyder i debatten, som om mange faktisk tror det. Ikke noget med, at det faktisk før Israels oprettelse var et britisk mandat og så videre. Hvis man så aktivt advokerer for, at et land er stjålet fra nogle andre, får man hurtigt skabt en offerfortælling. Vi må og skal have nuanceret og gjort klart for alle unge (og alle andre), hvordan historien rent faktisk er.

Just completely unsubstantiated propaganda claims about the war crimes Hamas are doing, and how that justifies whatever Israel feels like doing in response. I'll remind you, this was published in December. This is not some fog of war thing, everyone knows at this point what Israel is doing.

quote:

Men husk nu, at Hamas ikke spiller efter reglerne. De gemmer sig blandt civile og bruger civile som skjold. De er kyniske, ondskabsfulde og mennesker uden hjerte, som er fuldstændig ligeglade med deres egen befolkning i Gaza. Hamas må og skal udryddes. Der findes ikke en fredelig løsning med Hamas.

Og der findes ikke en tostatsløsning, hvis det fører et kalifat med sig med Hamas som de ledende figurer. Det er i alles interesse at bekæmpe Hamas, og det må være uden for al diskussion, at Israel må forsvare sig selv. Inden for krigens love naturligvis.

That little ending note is ridiculous asscovering, in light of when this was posted. Pape knew very well that Israel was doing a genocide at this point.

This dude wouldn't have pissed on you if you were on fire, why would you care about him? Just because he came around to Trump being bad eight years after the fact, when his opponent has shown himself to be worse by almost every metric?

Which was the extent of my sympathy and original point. I genuinely don't care whether he lives or dies, and simply added the point about denouncing Trump for flavor.

I told you to grow up because celebrating the untimely death of a relatively inconsequential politician (unless directly caused by their own hubris) is not something I would expect an adult person to do.

writing that out makes me realize it sounds like a tone-policing lib sentiment so I guess I'll have to sit with that for a little while

You're free to do as you like, but refusing to performatively shed tears for a contemptible shithead is not the same as celebrating. It's been wall-to-wall coverage of "Søren Pape was a good and decent man" since Saturday, I'm just using his own words to illustrate that it really wasn't the case. He also constantly exploited his ex-husband's purported religion to promote Islamophobia, and he more or less single-handedly saved the gently caress-the-poor-party from total obscurity, so I'd hardly call him inconsequential.

I can't really read the Danish quotes, but from what I'm hearing about this guy I kinda think he might have deserved what he got? Not from a retribution standpoint either, but from a "dead men can't do further harm" standpoint.

Like from a Swedish standpoint, if e.g. Jimmie Åkesson or Ebba Busch died in a similar manner I honestly do think I'd be cheering.

I wonder how things went at Bæredygtigt Landbrugs (farmers association) general assembly last week

Altinget posted:

Arrangementets helt store gæst er økonomiprofessor Michael Svarer, som også uofficielt lægger navn til den nyligt præsenterede ekspertrapport om en CO2e-afgift på landbruget.

"Inden du kom, sad vi og snakkede om, at du egentlig er modig. Havde det nu været 1824, så havde vi i formiddag været ved at bygge en galge ude bagved," siger landmand Holger Iversen til Michael Svarer efter oplægget.

Altinget posted:

Et medlem foreslår, at de omtrent 400, der er til stede i salen melder sig ind i Danmarks Naturfredningsforening og "får den lukket." Et andet medlem bakker op og fremhæver, at han udelukkende er medlem af provokation.

Altinget posted:

"Maria Reumert Gjerding (præsident i Danmarks Naturfredningsforening, red.) ser altid så glad ud. Hvad med at invitere hende til vores sommermøder? For vi skal eddermaneme have skovlen under hende," lyder det fra samme medlem.

Tidligere godsejer Jens Haubroe stemmer i.

"Det med at invitere hende til et sommermøde er en rigtig god idé. Jeg vil foreslå, at man holder mødet et sted, hvor der er en voldgrav med stejle kanter," siger han, og salen bryder ud i højlydt latter.

Fem minutter senere udråbes selvsamme Jens Haubroe til æresmedlem af Bæredygtigt Landbrug. Han inviteres op på scenen, giver formanden hånd og holder en takketale.

Nah it's not just Ukraine. I was surprised that when my wife studied at an international school in Denmark, March 8 was "Every Female Student Gets a Rose Day". That was it. A very watered down messaging that men should appreciate women in general once per year. Not a single word about gender inequality etc.

This one was a pleasant surprise, but it's proper sparkling, so the feel is way different than other meads.

Other than those two, none of the other meads I've tried have really stood out enough to remember. I know Valhalla Mjød is the one mead most Winemonopolies in Norway stock, but I've never been a big fan.

This is like saying you don't like burgers after going to McDonald's once. And I also don't like mead, because it's too sweet and not enough other stuff. Maybe I could find something flowery to try sometime though?

Also, drinking mead is considered an offence to Brygger Jacobsen, Inventor of Modern Beer.

There is such a thing as dry mead, but my preference is a balance below what you'd normally think of as desert wine.



Here's a spicy mead, metheglin. Christmas flavours (cinnamon, allspice, cloves, orange zest), mildly sweet, stored minimum 1 year before consumption.

I recommend you make an ancient orange mead as your first mead, it's very easy, low effort and a great intro into basic sterilization and sanitation practices (which you should always follow regardless of what the recipe says). Then post in the homebrew thread about it.
