Which film has this scene?

One person talks in front of a crowd, calling out to them:

- "We are all different!"

Everyone in the crowd hums like they all agree, except one guy in the back who shouts:

- "I'm not!"

DFRI-projektet om fri och öppen e-legitimation har två träffar på gång, 10 nov i Sthlm och 17 nov i Gbg,

- Nu ikväll i Sthlm, på Molly Malone’s vid Odenplan. Från klockan 17:00.

- Tors 17 nov i Gbg, på Haket vid Masthugget. Från klockan 17:00.

Båda tillfällena från klockan 17 alltså, men det går bra att droppa in senare för den som har svårt att komma så tidigt.

Alla är välkomna!

@Vysotskij är det denna Vysotskij du menar i namnet?

Många bra låtar, Vargjakten och Ingen mans land är ett par av mina favoriter.

Hej @ErikHelmerson

Välkommen till Mastodon 🙂

Oh and one more thing: the "Liberal" party is part of the new government, so the "Liberal" party is now advancing Sweden's new authoritarian agenda, reducing civil liberties as desired by nationalists.

What does "liberal" even mean then, going forward? Words are losing their meaning.

#svpol

Sadly, the new direction away from civil liberties and towards authoritarianism was not in focus in election debates; big parties were again assuming that people in Sweden generally no longer care much about human rights.

So, Swedish politics is a complete shitshow.

There used to be near consensus in Sweden that freedom and human rights should be protected. No longer so.

Gah. If you can think of anything to make us feel better about any of this, please let me know.

Failure to understand or care about concepts of freedom and civil libirties

The organization Civil Rights Defenders has stated the obvious fact that the new government's plans are not in line with civil libirties, human rights and so on.

Hardly surprising given that the new government is leaning on the Sweden Democrats, a nationalist party with nazi roots, pretty clear that they want an authoritarian society.

Still, the obviously stupid idea of giving money to those who use most energy was supported by both sides in the debate before the election. Nobody even tried to argue what should have been obvious.

Stupidity, continued

Think about the signal this sends to those who were responsible and strived to reduce their energy usage, invested in more efficient heating systems and similar. They are punished, money is given to the most irresponsible people. People will conclude that there is no point in acting responsibly, just keep using electricity and the government will reward you.

5/?

Stupidity

Stupidity: it has been decided that people who have large electricity bills will get money from the government. The more electricity you consume, the more money you get from the government.

Anyone who thinks about this for a minute will realize that it is a fundamentally stupid idea, giving incentives to use more electricity instead of less, at a time when we need to reduce consumption .
