  • Drag attends biweekly rallies to protest against the genocide. These rallies have effectively changed the government's stance on the Palestine issue and begun a shift in public and political opinion away from ties with Israel. Netanyahu says drag's country have betrayed him and we're all antisemites.

    Drag also told Americans to vote for Harris so that things wouldn't get worse while we direct action doers solved the problem. Unfortunately, Trump won the election, so it looks like it's going to be very difficult to end the genocide no matter how much direct action we do, unless we put a bullet in Trump's head. Thanks to the US's decision to ramp up financial and military support for the genocide, we've had to change priorities from stopping the genocide, to just getting refugees out and a safe place to live. It sucks.

  • is popularly considered to be acceptable political collateral damage and both the people who want to stop it and the people who stop participating because of it are blamed for it.

    It seems to drag that a genocide being horrible is not a reason to stop participating. A genocide being horrible is a reason to fight to stop it. Drag thinks it's entirely reasonable to blame people who choose to do nothing about genocide.

  • Drag can see a completely clueless player escaping with Ralof, receiving instructions to go to Windhelm, obliviously walking past Segregation Lane, and swearing fealty to Ulfric without using any critical thinking or caution.

  • Drag's second person pronoun is drag, yes.

    Thank you for the information. Drag is currently on a Dutch law research bender and has questions.

    Is blocking the street a criminal offence against public authority?

    Is assassinating a CEO a criminal offence against public authority?

    Does the act have to be illegal in the Netherlands too, or does it just have to be illegal in the country where it's being incited? For example, would telling Saudi Arabians to have gay sex be opruiing?

    If the law against the behaviour exists in the Netherlands, but the illegal act is done outside Dutch borders, does opruiing apply? Like, is telling a brit to assassinate King Charles opruiing?

  • Drag has been researching Dutch law for Luigi related reasons, and stumbled onto this story. A Dutch actor tweeted about a peaceful protest by Extinction Rebellion, and the Dutch police showed up to arrest him for sedition, or "opruiing". In the Netherlands, it's illegal to encourage any kind of criminal behaviour. Violent or nonviolent. As far as drag can tell, telling people on lemmy.world to torrent pirated movies would legally qualify as "opruiing" and earn a sedition conviction. This is bad, guys.

  • Section 141:

    Any persons who commit public acts of violence in concert against persons or property shall be liable to a term of imprisonment not exceeding four years and six months or a fine of the fourth category.

    Section 141a

    Any person who intentionally provides opportunity, means or information for the commission of violence against persons or property shall be liable to a term of imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fine of the fourth category

    141 is about committing and being a direct accomplice to violence. Your AI is hallucinating. Never trust an LLM to interpret the law.

  • Here's a translation of the relevant Dutch law against violent speech:

    Article 137d: "He who publicly, orally, in writing or graphically, incites hatred against, discrimination of or violent action against person or belongings of people because of their race, their religion or their life philosophy, their gender, their heterosexual or homosexual orientation or their physical, psychological or mental disability, shall be punished by imprisonment of no more than a year or a monetary penalty of the third category."

    Is being a CEO a religion now?

    (Fun fact technically irrelevant to our discussion: being biphobic or aphobic is allowed in the Netherlands)
