European leaders have now not only lost faith in Donald Trump’s U.S. presidency, but also in America’s hegemony as a whole. But short-term challenges make an immediate divorce unwise.
We’re alright in a lot of ways, and incredibly conservative in others.
We have a war on drugs; it’s the one thing all our politicians agree on. We also have some of the highest death from overdoses in Europe. Meanwhile, they’re all in parliament coking it up. See, drugs were measured in the wastewater from parliament, and none of them want to be tested.
Chat Control? It was spawned by the Social Democrats, a lady called Ylva Johansson. You have Sweden to thank for that.
Our current goverment is vowing to double the amount of surveillance cameras by 2030, and our police is expanding their use of Palantir.
Nazis? The Norwegians still are a bit sore about the fact that we let nazi Germany use our railroads to invade them. Fair, I feel.
Speaking of the nazis! We were super into eugenics until around the time Germany lost WWII. Back in 2013 we got rid of the eugenics law that required trans people to be sterilised. Oh yeah, the second largest party in parliament right now, Sverigedemokraterna, were against that.
Sweden was nice because we had a solid welfare bought by the blood shed when the military shot demonstrating workers during the great depression, and the ensuing decades of pro-worker social democratic politics. The modern social democrats are abandoning their roots in favour of sucking up to the bourgeoisie, and as such the entire left block is losing out.
That or a vast portion of Swedes are actual nazis because they keep fucking backing the nazi party.
The other month, when me and my dog went home from the vet, we took a path we haven’t done in a while. Passed through an area where we used to live some years back, after I fled an abusive family member.
It’s a miljonprojekt, not a massive one though. It is one of the larger ones of the area, and because it’s historically been cheap, that’s where a lot of immigrants have ended up. It’s a nice area though, and some money has been put into improving both the buildings and the surrounding area past few years. It’s also where a fairly large elderly care home is located.
When passing by the nearby church, there was a large fuckoff mobile surveillance tower right on the opposite street. I froze in my tracks, seeing it was incredibly uncomfortable. I’ve lived in the area for well over a decade, and never felt as unsafe as when I saw that.
What?! Sweden was supposed to be the progressive country. You were the chosen ones!

Sweden also just voted in a law that allows the police to use AI for face recognition in real time…
