RE: Bellman's lullaby
We'll at least he didn't commit suicide like the theatre man in Sweden who was later completely rehabilitated. The Swedish press is really crazy these days. They accuse people without having even the slightest prof. Now the guns have finally rotated towards the newspaperswhich is completely justified.
BTW - I am listening to Ringström and it is fun that he calls us xenophobic when 15-20% in both countries vote for national conservative and anti-muslim parties. The only difference is, I think, that the Swedes do not discuss it... yet.
That's terrible about the suicide, I hadn't heard about that. The West has absolutely gone nuts. Europe xenophobic? Wake me up when something like this takes place ;-)
It is about the divide between being practical or principled - Denmark is more to the practical side i guess - like: what if I could be prime minister with the votes from the Danish People's Party - but also how do we include the fifth of the population who are afraid of Muslims... calling them racists is not really leading anywhere.
And here is an article about the sad case of Benny Fredriksson: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/high-profile-death-prompts-backlash-against-metoo-in-sweden-1.3444849
Oh man that is sad about Fredriksson. To me it seems like practicality is the only way to get out of our current worldwide malaise. Nowadays much of what is deem principled is in reality partisan gamesmanship.
Aftonbladet and Expressen the politically correct Swedish equivalent of the Sun and The Daily Mail - has been quite silent recently. It does them honour that there had to to be a dead body and massive criticism before they stopped.
