(46,866 posts)our immigration/refugee policies. Especially Denmark. I have posted on this a lot in the past.
Now about COVID-19:
I am in probably the most fucked up EU nation (Sweden) in terms of how they are dealing with COVID-19. Our fucking government is paralysed by fear of action (so typically Swedish there, lol) and thus listening to fucking IDIOT epidemiologists and top level health ministers who have huge social agenda conflicts (they are rabid far Left Wing apologists for the disastrous immigration/refugee policies that were in effect until 2016 and helped to fuel the rise of the far right white nationalist Sweden Democrats scum to surge in numbers in the Riksdag, our parliament) and are doing EVERYTHING possible to keep the entire country OPEN. They also, like Trump, are trying to stop all testing.
They do not want to admit there is anything going on now, as they ridiculed all the other EU nations who closed down as racists and reactionary for weeks now!
You would have to live here to truly understand how delusional and willing to outright lie and suppress info that some are here, and it always involves immigration in one way or another.
The closest I can come to describing it is take Trump, make his number one priority to bring in 50 million (population adjusted for the US that is how many refugees Sweden has taken in over the past 17 or so years.) refugees into the US and then do ANYTHING to justify it, anything to cover up any systemic issues, use ANY tactics to quash dissent (including the outlawing of speech that is critical of Trump and the government for his 50 million refugees), bully and intimidate the press with the police, lie hundreds of times, cover up (via top level police lies and top level police covertly threatening the press like common gangsters) insanely brutal crimes systematically done by gangs of refugees, and then he, Trump would say if possible, he hopes to bring in 50 MILLION MORE.
Now, mix that all up with COVID-19 pandemic, invent a meme that makes it racist (I am multiracial part black btw) to want testing and to want workplaces and schools to shut, and you have Sweden atm. I wish I were joking, but alas, I am actually UNDER describing the outright lunacy here.
One the worst assholes is our State epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell. He has been HORRIFIC with misinformation, disinformation, straight up lies, bullshit normative scolding and completely baiting most other EU nations. He has laughed at people who said it (I am NOT joking on all that follows) was contagious. He said Norway, Denmark, Germany etc etc were all racists for closing down. He publically tried to shame the CEO of Spotify and all the Spotify workers on state radion for closing down and ordering the workers to telecommute. He calls people who want to shut the the schools racist and fear-mongers, and that the schools need to stay open so that immigrants do not have to go and stay at home. He called people who did not want to go out and shop or dine at restaurants cowards and SD (the far right Sweden Democrats) enablers. He said for weeks that it was basically IMPOSSIBLE to catch CPVID-19 and it would all go away in a few days to week (see, I did say reverso-world Trump). He is a fucking lunatic!!! I hope he is brought up on criminal charges after this is all done. He has probably killed hundreds if not thousands alone by himself. The most mild-mannered of many of my Swedish friends (and when I say mild-mannered in a Swedish setting I mean MILD MANNERED, lol) are raging about this fuckstick.
