Today's the day I put the extra furniture I need for this place together, so that'll be a bunch of fun. Though I can post some links here and there in the rest breaks.
Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Last week's discussion post.
A wildcat strike among bin men north of Copenhagen has lasted for four days. 60 bin men in four municipalities are striking over overtime of up to one or two hours every day.
Usually households has their bins collected every 14 days but some households pays for having them collected every week. On normal collection days where every household on a street had their bins emptied two men and one garbage truck can empty 100 bins in an hour but the weekly bin collections are more spread out and the two bin men are only able to collect 20 bins an hour. As the bin men are paid by the bin this negatively affected their hourly wages.
Bin collection is hard work. When bin men carried the garbage to the truck in paper bags a bin man could easily walk 15 kilometres a day. Today they walk twice as much as the plastic bins used today had to be rolled to the truck and back again.
Through the bin men's union the employer has offered an increase in pay per bin, using iPads instead of paper for route information and creating a committee with participation of the workers to plan work more effectively. The bin men has rejected the offer in clear terms.
The bin men on the other hand accuses the employer of adding the weekly bin collections on top of their normal quota and demands that the employer puts an extra truck in service, dedicated to only do weekly collections.
The labour arbitration board has declared the strike to be "illegal" and ordered the bin men back to work.
Okay when the revolution comes these people definitely :gulag:

It's not even a real law. Danish labour law is mostly unregulated by the state. Instead a system of collective bargaining and binding arbitration, and a prohibition of industrial action outside of contract negotiations was set up by the labour movement and organised capital following the defeat of the labour movement in the 1899 lockout.
This system is what is called "the Danish model" and it almost have the same status of unquestionable dogma in Danish politics that speeding has in Germany or guns have in America. This system works very well for politicians who mostly get to wash their hands on labour issues without having to pass unpopular pro-employee legislation and avoid getting hounded to pass popular pro-labour legislation. They will however intervene if a "legal" strike becomes too destructive to employers and pass contracts into law to stop strikes. Also, limited legislation on labour relations do exist for groups of workers like office or retail workers who are deemed to have too little class conscience to organise in unions and have stuff like termination notices and severance pay regulated by law. Regulation also exist for workplace safety, paid vacation, parental leave and protection against discrimination.
Remember when the bin man was hard?
