    There’s enough money to be made in any market to have them grease the right palms in government to ensure that never happens.

        And what makes you think that? SD (the Swedish equivalent of MAGA and the descendants of the Nazi party) pulled in over 20% of the vote last time and the right-wing parties making up the coalition have all shown to be more than willing to cater to SD’s base (edit: Although, to be fair, that’s also because they have a confidence and supply agreement with the SD).

          Do you have anything to support that SD is taking bribes or are willing to take bribes? Or that they have a close relationship with tech companies? Personally I wouldn’t compare SD to the MAGA movement. Maybe AfS, but not SD.

            I mean the xenophobia alone allows one to draw parallels, but here’s an example of the party harbouring the same wildly unscientific COVID vaccine stances and unscientific claims in their ranks: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/5Ey2eW/obehorig-sd-politiker-i-riksdagens-kammare

            And thanks for reminding me of the existence of AfS, it truly takes something extraordinary to be too extreme for SD to the point of getting kicked out and starting your own splinter fraction.

              Sure, they share some opinions, but I see no evidence that he’s getting paid to be a vaccine sceptic. I can only assume that’s what he truly believes.

        I would have thought the same for New Zealand too. Our current government is shamefully cheap to donate to.
