  • I guess this is in reference to the part of the comment:

    He is following a playbook written by others who are evil rather than unwitting.

    I think you’d in this case have a harder time attributing it to stupidity, when so many in this sphere are openly taking about ending democracy in favour of a tech-feudalism. (Unless one categorize that ideology as “stupid”, i guess).







  • I do worry though for a sort of dig in in their policies. Similar to Putin before the invasion. A lot of the far right said that “yes, a strong autocrat, masculin, anti-woke, homophobic person like Putin would be the saviour of Europe”. Now some of them, like almost split in the middle, stopped saying “those things are good, look at Putin”, but lost no support after the invasion. With Trump its going to be a similar thing, is my worry. “Yeah, but Trump is a bafoon, but massdeportation, autocracy, and capital’s control over the government are still important, we will just to ot the proper way” is what it will move to. And of course a lot of europeans, even on the far right, will breath a deep sigh of relief that they can call Trump a bafoon. I think, or worry more like it, it will marginally affect the support for the fra-right, if at all, the liberals that has not already joined the far-right or the socdems will try to shoehorn in a comparison to Trump at every argument, and they will get nowhere.





  • You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules

    This seems… very insufficent as a warning. Or have they formalized conditions at “not be critical of cry-baby in cheif” and similar things which has landed people in detention?


  • This is what Swedish unions did even more directly. A company hired labour from Latvia I think it was. The union showed up and said that thats all fine, but you have to pay them properly. None of them were members. They picketed the company for the sake of non-members wages. Why? To avoid social dumping down the line.
