Thank you for posting from Friendica on Lemmy, btw! It seems to be showing up great and generating a good discussion here.

I've had this laptop since the early 2000's. It changed hands to my mom for a bit, then came back to me. The Windows 3.11 install is new, as it was originally running Windows XP. #retrocomputing
It's weird, but the battery in this laptop still holds a charge. It has never been changed.
I recently picked up an old Windows 98 laptop, with a working battery for some reason. Ahh the nostalgia. I was browsing an old Facebook retro clone I'm working on. #retrocomputing #win98
MOZZT
MOZZT (Multi-Player Online ZZT) is an obvious ZZT inspired telnet multiplayer game I was working on. It's playable now, but has no real objective. I have no idea whether I'll pick up development again. It's just another of my "dead" projects for now. #msdos #retrogaming

•There are a few reports coming in from this thread. I'm open to changing my mind on any of the following, but the reason why I haven't taken action on a few of the reports is as follows:
I think that it is both valid to question why these people are covering their faces, while also noting that covering your face isn't "bad" in all cases. The same comment ("if they think they're right, why hide their faces") is also used against protestors when they push against the government. Based on the context, I think that's the point that the other users in this thread wanted to make, but did so poorly. I don't think those other users are in support of the white nationalists in the post, but rather they picked a bad example.
The difference between the two situations comes down to why the face is covered and what power that serves. Generally:
- In rallies such as this, the face covering is for intimidation and group identity, and using anonymity to threaten the targeted minority group. It is also intended to hide the person from their community members, because of shame and embarrassment.
- In protests, the face covering is to avoid retaliation from the authority figures that the person is protesting against. They rarely hide their thoughts and feelings about the matter from their community members.
Again, there is some overlap, but that it is why it's usually more valid to criticize the former and not the latter.
As for the second argument, I think there is a misunderstanding between 'human trafficking' and 'human smuggling'. Human trafficking is almost always defined as the exploitative practice, where the person being moved is being harmed. Human smuggling can take different forms, but it is not necessarily harming the person being moved. The example of the Underground Railroad and the networks that help refugees and victims escape harm, those would fall under the label of "Human Smuggling", but the terms are often confused.
So overall I think the issues in this thread come from users making errors, rather than malice, and so I haven't taken specific moderation actions. But again, open to changing my mind and taking action if more info is brought to light.

•The town of Kamloops was where one of the most recent unveilings of atrocities of the residential school system. It was a program to "help" the indigenous people adjust to the colonial usurpation of their lands and way of life.
What it actually resulted in massive mistreatment, atrocities, genocide, and erasure of the students in their care.
A site in Kamloops recently(inside the last 15 years) was revealed to have found another 50 ish bodies that were hidden.
The holiday truth and reconciliation was created a few years ago to acknowledge the problem and it was a big deal because it also was the first time the government of Canada officially acknowledged it

•The Big Three news outlets in Canada pretty much ignored this story until the Kamloops local paper and social media picked it up. Now they're all over it, pretending they were there first.
And they're all missing the crucial point.
Second Sons are working very hard to stick to the rule of law, while instilling fear. They're showing up in groups like this in smaller communities. They're not in Calgary or Toronto or Vancouver, they're north of Edmonton, or Orillia or Millarville.
They show up, dress to intimidate, act to intimidate, but don't actually threaten. They post overt dogwhistle slogans, "Je me souviens d'un Quebec blanc" or "Indian trucks kill canucks") which they could plausibly explain away as something else, if forced to stand on trial.
They're getting bolder, which means they're going to try to goad their victims into acting. They'll obey the RCMP or local police (if the force is sufficient) without hesitation because as long as they keep showing up, as long as they keep scaring people, as long as they are able to avoid consequences for their actions, they'll be able to hurt some people and recruit others.
They need to be driven out by the people every time they show their...well not faces, but cowardly masks. They need to be not shot or injured, but maybe detained until the police can unmask and identify them by name.
We need to publish their names. We need (and I can't believe I would ever say this) to doxx them - to make them fear for their lives if they keep threatening society.
We need to break the back of their movement, and the media isn't helping one goddamn bit.

•While I dislike what those individuals stand for, their attitude and their ignorance, I do not think violence towards them will change things for better but rather aggravate things.
One has to look at the root of the problem. Why are they angry etc.? Fact that we have vast economic disparity within our society breeds this kind of behavior. When resources are plenty and everyone gets their fair share and doesn't need to live loan-to-loan people don't usually care about exclusion of others (well, there are always zealots with loose screws) and those movements to not gain traction. Look at fascism in last century: it has risen on the back of economic collapse of society when it became easy to accept "you can't eat because he took your food" kind of messaging.
Bottom line to stamp out those thugs we need to change our society drastically with a sharp turn left but we're keep on veering to the right with each election, which will end up in violence one way or another. Someone however has to be focused on the target though: political and economic system in Canada is broken and needs to be rebuilt, until then we will be miserable and thugs will proliferate
