While their elderly are suffering

It's a city government

These guys arent really connected to the federal government of sweden

They're just local politicians doing something rather silly

doesn't city governments get tax money as their funding?

Yep

Sort of, the exact system depends on country

They often make their money from local taxes

thats still taxpayer money?

They also had new feminist period art installed in subway stations

Well yeah

But the point here is that you cant really say 'The federal government is wasting money'

Better example. Just look at the administration of Universities.

Pretend tuition is taxes.

Not quite a whole state, but I think it's what they idealize.

@Deleted User Why do they have jam coming from their undies wtf

suppose to go on your toast

Government officials in Sweden fund their parties with tax money too

pls answer question

There are places in the US that do this. It always ends up in the hands of incumbents somehow.

@Franken the answer is in the post.

It's a fucked up government

But it hasn't gone full social justice yet

Canada is pretty close too

I dunno about that.

Trudeau can be a goon, but overall i really dont feel our government has gone SJW.

That's why I said *close*

I dont really think we're close either

To be clear

@pratel but why jam

Canada will probably become more right wing next election.

I kinda hope not. Im really not a fan of SJW like shit, and some of Trudeaus antics, but im even less of a fan of the conservative party here.

I got this weird feeling a reaction to Trudeau is building behind the scenes.

Trudeau is a Social Justice PM and he's moved policy in that direction. ("feminist budgets" and things like denying funding to pro-life groups for summer programs being key examples)

But it's being met with growing resistance.

He has, but as far as ive seen its almost all been very token

Hence why im still just very meh on him.

Man i miss Jack Layton

NDP is electing shitty leaders, Conservatives are pretty shit right now, and the liberals are Trudeau

I just find myself really not being a fan of anybody

It's a less extreme version of how i feel about US politics

I think that's the new normal for everybody at some level.

Furthermore, coalitions shift.
