Yeah that's Sweden's leading right-wing think tank, Timbro. The guy in the photo is Benjamin Dousa, former leader of MUF (Moderaterna's youth wing)

Their latest Thing has been releasing a book on why the gig economy is actually good and desirable

I’ve long maintained that Swedish Twitter is among the most anal and pearl-clutching communities online. Every tweet that isn’t racist screeds is an outraged kulturkrönikör whispering the holy importance of democracy and freedom of speech. And then there’s that ^^ ofc, jokers being tut-tuted by Jokers.

S is going to need to step up their game. If the current government actually does deliver elstöd. Even a late one. Then the propaganda value of "by November" is going to be zero by the next election. I worry that they will keep harping on that one and decorum stuff until then.

THey need to step up the game but attacking the elstöd, even when delivered, is super easy.

For example, there's no limit on the payments.

Also, the calculations are hosed up, meaning that some consumers will be repaid MORE than what they paid for their electricity.

So basically the elstöd will now PAY rich people with huge homes for using electricity. And how much they are getting is secret for 20 years. So yeah, everything is hosed up and a looooooot of voters are getting poo poo (pretty much everyone in an apartment) while the wealthiest are getting money shoveled over them by the government. It's like peak Moderaterna, and is a very simple talking point for tearing down whatever tiny fig leaf of "Nya Moderaterna" that has survived in some dusty corner of their head office since Reinfeldt's gang was cleared out.

https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/...ler-hela-landet

Melin (yeah I know, but sometimes she has a point) covered it here. But yeah, S can easily bang the (objectively true) drum that this is a corrupt way for the government to move money from the average voter to the wealthy without going through the typical route of tax cuts etc.

This extension alone is also costing 10 billion SEK, which will also cause rumblings in the Tidölag as the Swedish economy seems to be decreasing faster than expected (BNP going -0.5 this quarter which is lower than pretty much anyone expected), meaning that there'll be even less money to spend on reforms than the meagre outlook of just a few days ago. Basically there's just not that much real politics you can push when the four parties can't agree and you don't have a booming economy allowing you to fund several darling projects of each party at once.

Yeah some policies are stupid if you follow the cause and effect a few steps, which makes it easier to for those responsible to shuffle the cards and muddy the waters. This is just plain as day dumb in a way that even non-policy wonks can grasp how amazingly unfair it is. This doesn't solve the issue for M and KD, this will stick to their shoes like poo poo for a long time.

Well, 1.8% of those who voted had him as a first choice, not counting people who tactically voted for a safer racist party that was sure to get in.

Her hentyder Vladimir Barbin til den konservative formand for Folketingets forsvarsudvalg, Rasmus Jarlov Han fremhævede for nylig i Berlingske, at Tomahawk-missiler har så lang en rækkevidde, at de affyret fra en dansk fregat i Østersøen vil kunne nå Moskva.

Jarlov er fortaler for køb af missilerne, der også ifølge TV 2 står højt på forsvarets ønskeliste til det nye forsvarsforlig.

Personally, I believe that C has been wanting this for years. But that Annie Lööf was already too entrenched to deliver that for them.

Even ignoring the insanity of attacking Moscow directly, what is the loving point in shooting off weak little missiles like that? I have to imagine everywhere worth hitting has some anti-missile tech for conventional missiles, on top of the supposed nuclear ABM poo poo.

Not really politics but around 200 boomers in a wealthy suburb of Copenhagen protested the restructuring of their favorite high end supermarket chain by linking arms and singing a protest song from their old days in the student revolts of the late 60's.

Blissfully ignorant of the fact that they themselves are now the very "man" they once protested against.

Just lol at capitalists objecting to decisions made by market forces

Not if you're on any kind of budget

But it is definitely insane that coop has had so many different brands; gathering them into two groups (three I guess? It seems brugsen will remain as the name on some of the small kiosk-size stores) makes a lot of sense.
