I actually started playing Bioshock yesterday because I want to throw DBD in the bin.
Its the anniversary event and killers are horridly sweaty.
I can play killer and be not sweaty and farmy, but I like playing with my friends and killer is a solo experience.
On todayâs peeve, I wish people in my country could stop being hateful for longer than 5 minutes.
Thatâs every country. D=
I mean this time its someone new with a background from iraq, spices it up.
Unfortunately it is still a hateful thing he will be doing.
I can on one hand understand his reasoning, but there are so many better ways to make criticism towards problematic aspects of faith or his country. All this does is upset everyone, and makes the smelliest population(the racist) really happy.
Especially since he didnât just do a typical protest/just burned it and instead did some very sus things. He also took time to do it outside a big mosque in the capitol, at the time of their praying, at the start of a holiday/event, and also wrapped up all of the stuff in pork.
And also gathered a bunch of fashes to his support for it.
I feel like Iâm missing context. What country? Whatâs going on this time?
Iâm in the UK, so the news is always either transphobic, classist or racist. Be nice to have the variation of a different country for a change.
See all I got in my news about it was âIraqi man will burn a quran for the first time in half a yearâ.
None of these other stinky details or mentions of these smelliest people.
This would be in Sweden, which has quran burnings here and there after Rasmus Paludan started doing it here in Denmark.
Sweden. And a guy signed up for approval to burn a Quran on the most famous public square in the capitol. It got approved.
The full details is that he did it outside the mosque at âPlattanâ(the most popular/known square in Sweden in the capitol), during prayer time. Itâs also the start of a muslim holiday today. And he wrapped it in pork while saying some really suspect stuff before burning it. And alot of the co-protestors are members of the alt-right.
Ah, I guess I donât really care about organised religion. So itâs not a huge issue in my mind. But still a shirty and disrespectful thing to do.
Wait⌠you have to get approval to do hate crimes against religions?
Wait, people accept those?
I am so confused.
This big stink-pile did it here last year aswell. Which caused protests from the swedish muslim community.
In response to the protests, Ebba Bush, leader of the christian party said the police should have fired with live ammo into the demonstrators for disrupting the peace during easter.
Basically, you are allowed to make public protests/actions, but if its too bad, youâre obviously getting into trouble. If you apply for a permit for a protest, you are more or less scott-free as the police gave you permission to do whatever it is you do.(You have to declare your intention for the protest).
He specifically asked for the right to do all of the above and got approved by the local county police. Which is kind of an issue.
Burning books isnât a hate crime or, really, even a crime*.
Wack? Certainly, but nothing near criminal or illegal.
*If you are the owner of these books
Iâd say Iâm more on the side of, âmehâ to religion⌠but burning their books is a terrible thing to do, it only serves to upset people.
But Iâm going to guess this guys hatred for the religion doesnât come from a place of a dislike of the philosophy behind beliefs forcing rules and raising people with negative outlooks and beliefs toward others. Eg discrimination. And moreso he just doesnât like the people with different skin who speak other languages.
From an educated guess based on what youâve said about the guy so far.
I was thinking from more of a sociological standing, rather than a legal one.
Obviously Iâm arguing in swedish law/thinking here, but it can definitely. Itâs not the action but the intent of the action behind it. But that is also hard to prove at times.
For a counter-example, burning the bible on its own is not a hate-crime. Burning it to deliberatly target/upset christians because they are christian & or while making derogatory comments towards them, would very much be a hate-crime.
Our previous events have specifically been in the second category. The one today the guy claims to do it to criticize the religion, but when Pauldan did it he openly admitted a couple of times that it was because of just sheer hate and spite
Well as Aldru mentioned, today it wasnât just an alt-right dude upset about people existing, but a man who escaped from Iraq and claimed to do it as protest towards the country and its leaders.
But he also did it in a way that impacts more common people+rallied together with others who just do it for hatredâs sake.
I just think overall its really stupid way of going about things, regardless of intentions as it only serves to atagonize people.
I either have to wait till Vaush does a video on it, or see if any of the other channels I subscribed to and forgot to click the bell on have done a video on it.
My sources of news lately have been diminishing. Relying on youtube isnât ideal, the creators very often turn out to be far less than ideal people.
Peeve: morality.
I hate moralityâŚ
Iâm playing FFXII, thereâs a bangaa (Lizardman) who wants me to give a package to his friend outside the gate.
Thereâs no reward, but I could sell it for a 150 gil.
Now⌠hereâs where morality comes in⌠I canât sell it, or Iâll feel guilty.
Iâll feel guilty, that I sold the useless item that the useless fictional lizardman gave me⌠Instead of giving it to his friend who doesnât reward me.
Apollo, seeing this post: Smiles in Prophecy.
If I were you I would take careful note of the most famous account of book burning, who did the burning and what specifically was being burned - all very important contexts in any discussion of book burnings
I believe Dekarn is just mixed up by the word âcrimeâ, thinking of it only in a legal sense.
Legally, he can do what he wishes. Itâs his property. And he even has a permit.
The way in which itâs a hate-crime. Is the intent behind it, the action, the reasoning. Heâs not just burning a book in his back garden to clear space in his shed. Heâs doing it to attract the ire of a certain people. And thatâs where the issue lies.
To them itâs not just a book, but a message, a symbol of an important thing in their culture and religion. TO burn it, with hateful intent, to them, is a crime.
To burn something in general is a very volatile thing to do. It is such a strongly specific thing and often, very much so historically, carries alot of weight to it. Usually bad.
It is a very absolute way to demonstrate strong, generally negative emotion towards whatever is being destroyed.
