      I really never understand why right wing governments without exception choose to not only hinder, but actively remove green energy. Like, I get hindering it because they are all owned by fossil fuel oligarchs, but actually spending taxpayer money to dismantle it makes no sense whatsoever. It is already there, just ignore it??? There is literally no downside to just ignoring it. If the right shut the fuck up about green energy and just went with it, they could solve half of their impending “immigrant problem” and could focus effort on fucking up and making other parts of the country worse like they want… Plus if climate change ends up not being “a hoax” 🙄, then they get to continue being parasites instead of their nationalism and identity falling apart as the world does.

        They don’t want to solve the immigrant problem, as the fear of the population is what drives their grip on society.

        Our current prime minister Ulf Kristersson has close ties to Exxon Mobil and is probably looking at a position there after he exits politics. Just like another former prime minister of the Moderate party Carl Bildt did for Gazprom many years ago. They should both be in jail.
