“Proposal to Allow Wiretapping of Children Under 15 Without Criminal Suspicion”
https://swedenherald.com/article/proposal-to-allow-wiretapping-of-minors-without-crime-suspicion
@aral I wouldn't count Sweden - their centre right government has been working with the far right for some time now.
Yep and the leader of our far right (originally pretty explicitly Nazi) party sat in an interview and straight up said people should be able to be JAILED without suspicion of a crime. They are in government in every way but in name right now, because the liberals "refuse" to collaborate with them unless they are nominally not in government.
@aral the kids are the worst - you have to stop them before their parents get involved
@aral Yeah, we're not too happy about this, as one can probably imagine... 
Our current government is a corrupt bag of baby-von Papens.
@aral
Sweden is also a pretty nice place to be rich in. We don't have taxes on real estate, inheritance, wealth, gifts. The tax on corporations is lower than in the US. (Girig-Sverige, Cervenka 2022)
We also have an excellent system for funneling public money into private pockets through the welfare system. We have a system of publicly funded but privately owned private schools that has made many acquaintances of former politicians rich.
The public image of Sweden at least is a bit old.
