The Hansa were active supporters of the Swedish break-up from the Kalmar Union, especially Lubeck. By that time Swedens and Denmarks foreign policy interests had diverged. No longer di they share any common enemies. Friendly relations with the hansa was in Swedens best interest (salt imports from Luneburg was very crucial), and their prospective enemies were the Teutonic order and Novgorod to the east. Denmark oth wanted to curb Hanseatic power over the baltic trade, expand their influence in northern Germany, and had no qualms with the teutons and novgorodians (even selling Estonia to the teutonic order a century earlier). The Hansa benefitted from a weaker Denmark, and without the aid of hanseatic gold, ships, cannons and mercenaries, the outcome of Swedish secession would be very much in doubt.

Stumbled upon Aron Flams twitter and good God, few ultraliberals are as annoying as him. Mostly due to his arrogant rhetoric and what i interpret as a very inflated opinion of his own intellectual prowess and perceived underdog status in contrast to his supposedly indoctrinated sheeple opponents. If "gymnasial" was in a dictionary, his face would be on the entry.

Katt posted:I like the Greek thing where in court the jury was like 500 randos that direct democracy voted on your guilt by majority vote. And jury placement was drawn from a hat so no one knew who was going where or when. Not an oversight, as replacing experienced commanders after only a few years can be a detriment to military performance. Experience matters alot especially in Classical greece where many soldiers are amateurs and Athens realised this early. Athenian strategoi were subject to revision of how they handled their duties and performance, and if put up to vote could result in their sacking, or worse, condemned to death. Like when an Athenian fleet scored a great victory but in the aftermath failed to perform a rescue operation due to a storm. 8 generals were put on trial and executed.

Dude has shifted over the years and he likes his pretentious labels. He was more libertarian in the past but nowadays is more some weird flavour of contrarian alt-right. He has been reflexively contrarian most of his public life, alt-right stuff is more recent. Extremely arrogant and the kind of person who thinks very highly of his own intellect relative to others, annoyingly pretentious. Got famous as a musician and music producer and since been on TV, either for his dumb political takes or in music talent shows. Falukorv fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jun 13, 2020 |

There’s also the raccoon dog, from east Asia that the soviet introduced on purpose in a bunch of places for fur trapping/hunting, most introductions failed but it did well in the baltics where it now threatens local wildlife, and since spread to Finland and eastern/Central Europe. So far, incursions into northern Sweden have been limited with some success by directed hunting. Radio tagging castraded males is a good reverse honeypot to find them.

Moved to Sweden when I was six and apparently I was folkbokförd with my second name as tilltalsnamn. an oversight stemming from my first and second name being in the reverse of the most common order I’m guessing. For a long time I got used to listening for my second name during roll calls/blood donations etc until I wrote to Skatteverket to change it and got fixed immediately. So now I get called out by my first name but it’s a more difficult name to pronounce, having my second name was easier.

Yeah i remember Filippa Reinfeldt (whos government opened up for the general privatization of the stockholm county healthcare m.m) and that health care center that the county privatized for literally the price of the building and the material in it, less than a million kr, and got resold for a cool 20 million. And after resigning got a cool well-playing gig at the private health care provider Aleris. Stuff that just makes my blood boil. And now he have Svinonius and her scandals, among them the limitless county budget for consultants for the construction of the new hospital NKS, while her husband was the lead of procurement for that. For that conflict of interest her response was that they simply dont talk about work at home. Stockholmers keep voting for these bloodsuckers though.

There is also an obvious conflict of interest regarding the wolves and the reindeer herding rights of the Sami. If you would just look at a distribuition map of wolves in Sweden it looks odd. They all basically exist in middle Sweden, even though they are the descendants of migrated finnish and russian wolves. But there are basically no wolf pairs in Nothern Sweden, which covers more than half the country and stands between the Swedish and fennorussian wolves. Samis are typically granted skyddsjakt permissions as they threaten their reindeer herding. If they havent also been illegally shot any point wolves have crossed over. Right or wrong, it is a rather odd situation for the wolf populations. All of Swedens wolves are in middle sweden, closest relatives otherwise exist in norway, finland and russia. But the vast expanse of boreal forest and mountains in the large stretch of the country between finland and swedish wolf-territories are essentially wolf-free. Tricky situation with how things stand with the Sami especially with Swedens historical wrongdoings in mind. But i can imagine it can be a hard pill to swallow for e.g a rural Värmlänning having to tolerate wolves while insuring that vast tracts of suitable habitat are kept wolf-free. And yeah, this issue takes culture war dimensions, while personally im more concerned with the state of Swedens forests when it comes to national nature conservation, which is another huge can of worms regarding economical stakeholders.

Seems also that "hyggesfritt" continous forestry is being discussed and implemented more in Finland but more opposed in Swedish forestry. And not as hot of a topic among the public as it should be imo. And the largest forest owner in Sweden is state-owned Sveaskog, and they should be able to set a far better standard than they do.

Speaking of the earlier forestry talk, i can recommend the recent "Vetenskapens värld" special mini-series about the huge conflicts of interests regarding Swedish forestry and conservation. "Slaget om skogen" on SVT or SVTplay. Pretty depressing though to be reminded of the scale of things, only seen the first episode so far.

V. Illych L. posted:honestly the value-progressive tendency to assume that the anglophone liberal common-sense of things is Correct sits very uneasily with me, mostly because it inevitably involves trying to solve a problem by turning it into a regulated market, if it has any prescribed solution other than personal virtue I think this is evident with prostitution, where often the American progressive view clashes with Nordic model supportSuburexers among European left feminists. And aside from philosophical differences, make some assumptions about effects of legalisation which evidence often doesnt bear out (trafficking increasing for example with more demand of an inelastic supply). Also regarding gateway drugs it can happen by accident. Have a friend who during the epidemic lost access to his local weed dealer and has to resort to buying from a domestic darknet market with Bitcoin. Anyway, the seller mixed up the order and sent my friend a few pills of Subutex instead which is a pretty major mixup. Falukorv fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Oct 14, 2021 |

Im amazed that kratom is still legal in Sweden. Technically illegal to consume, but legal to buy (and is sold openly online) as long as they state that it is not for consumption (usual cover is as an homemade soap ingredient). Some EU countries have banned it wouldnt expect Sweden to lag behind, but maybe its not as widespread and visible? Falukorv fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Oct 21, 2021 |

Yeah articles with people bemoaning electricity prices and you read the small print about bad isolation, heating with only direktverkande el and windows all over the place. Like that DN article with a photo of a guy sitting in his heated “altan” with mostly windows facing the outside facade. It is the 1000 dollar candle meme irl. Not saying all examples are like that but some expect all the advantages of a house with none of the responsibilities and energy mitigations.

I am feeling more defensive about this culturual trait of ours now. loving judgemental southerners. Exactly, depends also on what people imagine as "guests". Often it is your friend who lives close by that hangs out at your place and vice versa like every day of the week after school. Often with their own dinner times, otherwise you would end up just eating dinner at the friend you spent the most time at during most of the week. You usually check with the other kids parents before having them eat dinner at home.
