Sweden is a functional country for the most part, but we are small in a geopolitical context.
In daily life I feel mostly fine, I have a decent job (I am on the bus to work right now), I have a good apartment (if a bit small), just ordered a new desk for my home setup, in general you can feel society bracing against "Drumpf & Puttler's Crazy Wild Ride: The Rise of Ketamine boy".
Biggest news lately, the school shooting in Örebro, terrible shit, and the coward perpetrator didn't have the decency to survive so we'll probably never know his motives which would help us prevent this in the future.
Locally we have had some small scale scandals recently, politicians disliked by most citizens but with connections getting new jobs either barely following the process or outright ignoring it, nationalistic party have their scandal politicians, other politicians scamming money from the government.
We recently had a news story about an islamist being hired as a teacher and raping a student, that guy was rejected by the security service when applying to be a security guard before being a teacher.
Personally this is how I feel when reading the news lately:
As it stands now, I will just focus on myself and my family and friends, the current US regime is dancing to the tune of a dictatorship and I try to stay far away.
