  2. For the #silentsunday let's bring forward the silent return of one of the most cruel means of destruction by the modern capitalist States.

    "Back to the killing fields? Anti-personnel mines return from the dustbin of history" alternatives-humanitaires.org/

    Feeling threatened by the expansionism of their powerful neighbour – which is using anti-personnel mines on a large scale in its war against #Ukraine#Poland, #Finland, #Lithuania, #Latvia and #Estonia have confirmed their disastrous decision to turn their back on the #OttawaTreaty. As regards Ukraine itself, the country has announced its intention to suspend its ratification of the treaty. As warfare surges in an increasingly lawless world, these ill-fated choices will inevitably be a death sentence for many civilians.

    Alas, the unthinkable is now happening.

    Humanity’s propensity for self-destruction is as old as the history of warfare, miti­gated only by attempts to regulate armed hostilities to protect non-combatants. What was once called the “landmine epidemic” – which peaked in the 1980s and 1990s with nearly 30,000 new vic­tims each year – was one of its most insidious and barbaric manifestations, but also one of the most ignored or ne­glected.

    By signing the treaty, Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine had solemnly committed to “nev­er, under any circumstances […] use anti-personnel mines” nor “develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile, retain or transfer to anyone, direct­ly or indirectly, antipersonnel mines” (Article. 1 of the Ottawa Treaty).

    Withdrawing from the treaty or suspend­ing obligations in regard to it are a bla­tant breach of the good faith that is vital among the signatory states, with immense symbolic and practical repercussions. Beyond being an insult to the treaty’s other parties, this renunciation will be endured – by the more than 600,000 sur­vivors of these weapons worldwide and the families of those who did not sur­vive – as a betrayal and an open wound, since it was explicitly in their name that states pledged to eliminate anti-person­nel mines from their arsenals.

  7. I remember when I was taught that you could grab any lake water and drink it, then I was told to boil it, then I was told that some springs are ok to drink from still, and then told not to ever drink from natural source without boiling it first, and finally not to drink any of it at all because there could be shit and pollutants that don't diminish with boiling.

    I am only in my 30's.
    I know I was promised hell, but that was supposed to be after I die!

  11. To my foreign pals - if you see lies like "Finland has clean beautiful lakes everywhere", "the education is top notch", and "Happiest Country" - don't fucking believe them.

    We have lakes, and they have beauty, but also pollution caused by climate change and mismanagement of our resources in grand scale. Our education has TANKED and worsened in past 10 years and AI is making it even worse. And The Happiest Country is, and has always been, pure propaganda.

  12. Finland in my parent's time: You can swim in any lake, pond, or river and it is fine and clean!

    Finland of my childhood: You better check if lake is ok to swim in since few of them grow toxic plant life in the end of Summer.

    Finland now: Most lakes are not swimmable mid Summer and government gave green light to foreign datacenters to come and take rest of the good water, and the climate collapse is here thanks to the predator class.
