Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.

This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.

    As a Swede, I just notice people brush corruption under the rug because what they’re doing can’t possibly be corruption. We’re Sweden, we’re not corrupt. So even though they act corrupt, it can’t be corruption. A very infallible logical stance I see way too often here.

      It’s always important to fight corruption!

      I grew up in sweden (tjänna tjänna!) and it was so 0% corrupt it was wild to go and live in another country.

      Sweden is still extremely not corrupt today too (6th place in the world).

        That doesn’t mean there isn’t any though, there is still plenty here. That statistic seem to mostly exist as a weapon to be used against people calling it out.
