There is a common thread running from Woody Allen’s neurotic and slightly confused film character to the multi-diagnosed activist Greta Thunberg. These are people who are in therapy and have all sorts of mental conditions, and they are not ashamed of them, but rather publicise them. In addition, we have countless celebrities who come out and talk about their problems,   …  

The EU is a bureaucratic regime, an elite project that does not serve the interests of the people, but rather irritates them with a mass of meaningless laws and regulations. Democracy is also a mess; anyone who explains how Ursula von der Leyen was elected EU president will have to answer a series of difficult questions. Let’s face it, this   …  

Several European countries have adopted stricter refugee policies, with guarded borders and departures from the EU’s general approach to migration. Recently, Meloni in Italy joined the more restrictive countries, along with Germany, the Netherlands and formerly Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, the Baltics, Portugal and others. I’ve discussed this before, it’s probably a case of reality slowly creeping in, the situation   …  

E-commerce is thriving like never before, with people ordering all sorts of things from various websites around the world. However, small cracks can be seen at the delivery stage.

The media tells us that the far right   …  

When it was socially beneficial for people to be “norm critical and progressive etc”, society stopped being successful and capable of development. This contemporary mentality is very different from previous mindsets, which helped Sweden develop into one of the most successful countries in the world.

Sweden, Germany and other northern European countries are known for being well-organized, where the people and their leaders demonstrate good planning skills and attention to detail. The proof of this is countless successful industrial and infrastructure projects. This ability has contributed to both wealth and high living standards for the individual citizen.

And this was at the beginning of the war, before all the horrors we know today were unleashed. The British had very few resources in 1940,   …  

What an extreme time of conflict we are in; everyone realises what is wrong, some want to turn the ship around, but the captain insists on continuing into the storm, just because… Well, who knows? Maybe it’s cognitive dissonance, when the captain refuses to accept the cause of the problem, which should be very clear by now. It’s funny how   …  

There is a very good article by Dan Ahlmark (in Swedish), which describes how our politicians often sneak through laws because they know that citizens would not like them wholeheartedly.
