Three things make watching the current development in the US from Sweden so mind boggingly weird:
1. Swedish media sucks ass, and their reporting is terrible even next to the worst US one
2. Everyone behaves like everything is or will soon be to back to normal. I don’t see how that’s possible.
3. I’m acutely aware of how much more competent Swedish police are at repression and of how little people care. If it happened here, no one would do anything.
