Judging by the political debate leading up to the election, there is pretty much consensus about this. The larger parties on both sides assume that selfishness is was voters want.

Selfishness

Selfishness: this point is perhaps most obvious in the decision to abandon the rule of 1% of Swedish GDP going to foreign aid. We had that rule for many years, but the new government is now going to abandon that.

Another example of Sweden's new selfishness is the treatment of refugees.

Overall, Sweden remains one of the richest countries on earth but now we apparently started feeling so very sorry four ourselves.

In Sweden we had an election a few weeks ago, and now there is a new government with an authoritarian agenda.

Swedish politics now seems to rest on the following three pillars:

- Selfishness

- Stupidity

- Failure to understand or care about concepts of freedom and civil liberties

I think those three are strongly related, in that the first two kind of lead to the third. Anyway, the situation is really bad.

The requirement for computers is funny: "The machine had

Looking for free/libre (FLOSS) computer games that can be fun for kids around 10 years old. So far, tried #minetest which is great. What else can you recommend?
