In Sweden, some of the policies about to be implemented, being evaluated, and lauded:
wtf that is super messed up and very wrong. I'm just thinking that people in my country would literally riot if the government tried to implement changes like this. But then again the governments always introduce these types of laws in very sneaky ways in order for people not to take notice.
You'd hope. The only one of these that sparked some protest was the one about public servants. Many unions protested that one, I think it was something like enough unions to represent 30% of the population or something. But what seems to be happening is that they'll single out one group, like teachers, and excuse all others from the law, they are too weak to put up enough pressure by themselves. Then they go on to the next.
The rest no one really cares about. In a quite segregated society, search zones will not target many ethnic swedes. So they don't care.
Then the largest opposition party is trying to trump the rightwing parties in how authoritarian and xenophobic they can be, so they mostly say nothing.
The good old divide and conquer. It's frustrating that it always works so well everywhere.
