badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

And now you may think I hate that phenomenon for nationalist reasons. No. I hate it on the meta level. Because I think its a fucking psyop to make racism more popular.
Because everyone else hates it for nationalist reasons, like "Oh I don't want a fucking swede telling me what to do". But see i think that's tbe point. I think they invite these smug as fuck journalists over from some newspaper that used to have a eugenics column to do little lectures on how Swedes would never do racial profiling in policing or some other lie specifically so that that policy becomes more popular here. Or at least the left ends up being discredited in the debate by looking less sympathetic and the right looks way stronger by just pointing out some of the obvious lies.
This is how Swedish people are used abroad. Someone who will be for something that is good but does it in a condescending, self-satisfied and annoying way so that the people hearing it double down on not doing that. One of the reasons that hearing the Swedish accent in English (in Swidin wi donnt do dat) makes my skin crawl. Even if they are not actually being condescending, self-satisfied or annoying they will be framed as if they are (such as Greta Thunberg).
It is either that or the classic bikini babe.
Do you think the journalists doing these media appearances know that's what happening?
No, they embody the condescending, self-satisfied and annoying stereotype. It is a real phenomenon. Carl Bildt may be the apotheosis of that specific kind of guy (though he also genuinely sucks 99% of the time). The people filling that stereotype in Swedish media are preppy Finnish people.
The reverse is kind of true for Danish and Norwegian politicians or police in Sweden where they are invited to tell us why we gotta get more racist and get hailed as truth tellers for saying it.
