/*Är ARG och BITTER*/

So.

The racists got into the parliament in Sweden. I am angry, disappointed and goddamn afraid. The US is already too far right for comfort, Europe is having an incredibly worrying upswing in the far right fringe taking place in parliament after parliament. I worry about my family - I don't want my grandmother to have to imagine a repeat of the 1930-ies for us kids, I don't want to have to consider changing my name if I ever want to attempt the open job market again, I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITH A PARTY OF FUCKING NEO-NAZIS, XENOPHOBES, HOMOPHOBES AND WOMEN BATTERERS IN THE PARLIAMENT.

I do actually hope the blue and green parties can come to an agreement. The reds and blues can't, of course, but (speaking as someone who voted green with a hope of a left-green victory) I would be deeply disappointed in the politicians if they couldn't work something out.

Now I shall work, pack my shit and re-read the Harry Potter books. Excuse me, world, but I don't want to communicate with you right now because you stink.

Så besviken på valresultatet. Jag hoppades förstås på de rödgröna. Alliansen vid makten i fyra år till känns trist nog, men sverigedemokraterna i riksdagen är ju rent ut sagt för jävligt. Jag tror och hoppas att de inte kommera att få något större inflytande på beslut eller på det politiska klimatet men det känns ändå otroligt tråkigt.

Very late, but: sympathizing, same thing happened in Belgium at least fifteen years ago, didn't really get better. It sucks. Too many navel-gazers who are so bored living in the richest countries in the world that they have to invent problems and convince each other that their lives will be even more comfy and privileged if they can just make this or that other group of people go someplace else. Have some comfort food of your choice and don't give up. :P
