I appreciated your well articulated responses. I was merely in my last posts trying to find something measureable and a definition of safe we can both agree on but as you say, lets agree to disagree. Lets hope everyone keeps safe in these times. Best of luck to you.

Being a criminal is also affected by ones social status so you’re pretty much contradicting youself here. I know what gang-related crime looks like as i was raised in a suburb with majority mena-immigrants along with having worked as a correctional officer to pay for my living situation while studying for my university degree. Jews were not part of that culture, because frankly they were quite hated in those parts of society. My statistics from the crime-prehentetive counsil in sweden mentions that it amounts for about a third of violent deaths, while the larger part of the rest is the second and third category. It might be lower in some areas in europe like portugal and maybe portugal don’t have many killed jews at all. I don’t agree with the metric because you can still be unsafe even if your life is not on the line consistently, but you might still be approached on the street, assaulted and fear terrorist attacks, which definitely have happened. Perhaps that is where our points of view differ to much to come to a common conclusion.

I honestly think that might be a pretty bad metric because most murders belong to three categories.

  1. Gangrelated
  2. Domestic
  3. Spontaneous (often psychological problems/alcohol-drugs involved).

For 2 and 3, i don’t believe any ethnicity is exempt.

All that statistic will show is that it’s far more dangerous to be a criminal wifebeating drunk than the average population and i haven’t heard of many jew-gangs.

Example- a gang fight causes 100 people to die. One jew is killed from an antisemitic crime. Now, if the jewish population is 1% of the total population, we would have an equal amount of jewish deaths as the average population, but criminals mostly kill eachother so it’s still obviously more dangerous to be a criminal than a jew but the antisemitic crime weighs more compared to the non-criminal population. So we would have to exclude a whole bunch of murder causes to get a reasonable result and define those, or you know, just use the antisemitic deaths as a factor from the start.

Can i count attempted homicide? The problem with violent death in europe is that it’s quite skewed by terrorist attacks, like in france 2015, 31 were “homecide or attempt” but it doesnt split that statistic into two columns which it should i.m.o, and also most countries don’t seem to register anti semitic killing seprately (maybe some because there were none/few?) Are violent attacks not a valid reason to be afraid for your safety? That looks easier to look up as many countries does register that statistic.

Maybe we need a different approach. As you don’t trust the numbers like i presented before where antisemitic hate crime reporting is 10-20 times as high as islamophobic hate crime reporting, what is a sufficient, or acceptable matrix that you would trust? I’m sure we can find out something we can both agree on. I’m prepared to accept whatever result, maybe i’m full of it but if there is no metric that you accept, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to debate in good faith.

Apparently they have brought back some of their production to sweden as of 2020 but don’t ask me which models, because i don’t know. I know production moved to china 2006 after not having any at all since the 80ies and they probably still make a lot of their new guitars there. Ive only played on a 70-80ies something superswede.

I respect your ideal and i think its a good basic value to have, but lets be honest. Reddit has always had content moderation in one way or another but had very high level of tolerance. I remember when every second post on reddit was a huge ascii of pedobear and they had subreddits with legal yet very untasteful pictures of underage girls and bullying fat people had their own subreddit. At some point it became large enough to get large investors that doesn’t want their name next to a barely dressed 14 year old. Then TheDonald and other right wing subs was banned, so it has mostly upheld free speach for what is popular among its users for the longest of time but has never been a free speach platform. Even 4chan today is nowhere near what it used to be, for good reasons i think because i think no sane person would look at it and think, this is free speach in its prime.

Of course there is. Maybe in your line of work and set of “standard” tools there is no distinction, and everything is a world of simple rules. For me, handling an error based on a response is what you are supposed to do. If you do not differ between them, you’ll just spend time to figure it out by hand.

Same here . Obviously it does feel more like actually driving a car instead of a toy but to be honest, electric is here and they don’t shift. Today when i feel like doing some driving for the sake of driving- a motorcycle is much more fun anyway.
