    The average Swede emits less CO2 than the average Thai. If Sweden wants to halt reforms while waiting for the USA, China, and the rest of the world to catch up that seems fine to me.

      Nope. We have Swedes flying across the world on holidays to ”authentic” places where they expect at least the same levels of comfort and more luxurious experiences because it’s ”cheaper” and more money gets us more. We expect to be able to buy ultra cheap clothes and food, get ultra VIP treatments, ultra disgusting censored extravagances across the world and then come home and complain about only being able to afford to take four weeks off in Thailand at an all inclusive resort, while Thai and Pilipinos are coming here to be treated as slave berry pickers, masseurs (with happy endings) and ”au pairs” (domestic helpers with ”all inclusive”).

      The not-far-right of us are trying to make an effort for us and for the world. But the far right have the wallets on their side and can lie without caring if they get caught.
