This is the American enshittification we the US have been exporting since the Reagan giveaway to turn actual societies into piggy banks for the global rigged market capitalist owner class in their insatiable need for growth/metastasis, just as the US is. They only need a few people in the right positions to accept the faustian bargain of "You can live large, in decadence you'd never believe!... All you have to do is betray your countrymen and let us exploit them without mercy."

It works, sadly. There's always a few ambitious wormtongues in the right places willing to stab their neighbors in the back to get into the little sociopath club. The UK has long since fallen to this bargain, the French are fighting, but losing.

I fear for the last shining beacon of civilization when the market capitalist oligarchs succeed in destroying the Nordic societies with our unrestrained greed disease, then they can declare "there's no better way" without a prominent example to the contrary.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
