  • For context: It isn’t, and the underlying misunderstanding is fostered by the reporting on what is going on.

    The proposed changes are about to what extent all hospitals have to offer treatment types. There’s basics that all hospitals have to offer either way, but for some treatments you want highly specialized departments, both in expertise and in equipment. The underlying issue is basically:

    Is it better to have a mediocre [something]ology department in every hamlet, with corresponding constraints on quality of care (as well as higher infrastructural redundancies) or is it better to have better equipped specialized centers that have to cover a larger area (with the corresponding issues of having to transport patients across relatively larger distances)?

    It’s complicated with genuinely important trade-offs to consider, but the minister whose face is associated with it also became a target of right wing weirdoes and newspapers over corona stuff and the cannabis “legalization”.













  • Those of us are wrong, then. Fascism isn’t some inherently abstract force of nature, it’s people and organizations of people. Those social structures can be disrupted, and the major question whose answer determines the means of disruption is whether the earlier responses were appropriately timed and powered.

    I prefer the situation where fascist-attitude people are individuals who need treatment rather than one where fascism is not just an attitude of individuals but a structural problem requiring e.g. law enforcement involvement or even a full-societal issue requiring outside military involvement.



  • The ease with which they can build such structures would go down. Building while hiding is harder than building while not having to hide.

    Having central coordination, for example in the form of a party or some other form of organization, means that strategic goals can be planned for and resources acquired and allocated in a more efficient manner. The previous bigger neonazi party, the NPD, fulfilled that role for quite a while.

    Organizations and people are not that interchangeable for these purposes. Workflows, institutional memory, leadership all matter. That’s why targeted assassinations of leadership even in cell-like structures can meaningfully disrupt e.g. terrorist organizations’ effectiveness. Similar things can be accomplished by simply disrupting business-as-usual.
