The moral of the story is that pretty much every country is hosed up in its own particular way.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Even people in sweden, centrists and right wingers in particular think of Sweden as this ultra-leftist hell hole that's just one step away from full communism. Despite they've gotten almost all the politics they desire implemented in the last 30 years and society has seen a huge rightward shift (hummm wonder if that has anything to do with all the social problems that has arisen in sweden since then....). They act as if it's still the 70s or 80s and Olof Palme will rise from his grave any second now and tax them poo poo out of them.

MourningBalls (it's yours for free, Private Eye) immediately becoming its own genre. The weird signage and implications behind it - what is there and what is left off - the bike-rack and the condom machine thing being prime examples - are the condoms not being dispensed because the company that refills the machine isn't bothering (probably one of the real reasons, and that has implications of its own), or are they not dispensing because it's disrespectful to use a condom during a period of mourning (as it seems to imply)? You can't put your bike here, presumably because we don't have anyone maintaining it for now. But if you do put your bike here we might have someone remove it, so something is being done. And removing the bike is some sort of punishment, but only if we feel like it?

It's all very :psyduck: where the craziness becomes fractal.

I'll confess I did briefly consider going to view the coffin, if only cause I've never seen a recently dead monarch before, but I'm not willing to wait for a billion years for the experience.

Also the casket is closed from the sounds of it so you can't actually confirm she's dead.

Absolutely mental - just performative at this point. I'm in no way one to talk and yes this is massively hypocritical of me, but how little must you have going on to queue for days to go look at the coffin of someone who didn't care if you lived or died. You're not impressing your grandchildren with this story! At least if you're going somewhere to look at things, go to any museum, it'd be literally more interesting, engaging and meaningful to your life.

Had a Facebook memory this morning that made me go :sigh: :

Me, seven years ago today posted:

Glad Corbyn has won; it means Labour will be an actual opposition rather than a slightly less overtly evil version of the Tories. How well he'll stand up under the relentless battering he'll get from a press mostly owned by foreign plutocrats and tax-dodging aristocrats remains to be seen, but at least we'll get an alternate mainstream viewpoint to 'austerity is good and necessary and the only possible way'.

Welp. :smith:

My tube driving former housemate has had his leave cancelled for an event we were due to attend this weekend, and apparently things are already completely loving nuts on the tube. So yeah, avoid.
