How do you combat against misinformation / yellow press? I feel like that’s the main problem in Germany. Whenever someone starts a sensible campaign to move things forward, it seems that the BILD launches a month long smear campaign; just to avoid any progress whatsoever.
Though I’m sure Russian meme networks are doing their part too.
Currently the party doing best in polls is the populist right. They were in government a few years back too, but the conservative/liberal/right populist coalition got replaced with a labour/agrarian populist coalition after the last election. Next election in September 2025.
I think we’re just kinda lucky we don’t have Springerpresse or Murdoch etc running publications here. And something like 25-33% of the population seems to be pretty solidly populist, only switching between the various populist parties. Our Labour and Conservatives don’t seem willing to go for a GroKo to keep the populists out either.
I’m curious how y’all are so inoculated against “brown immigrants bad” compared to say Germany. It definitely seems to still be a thought, but y’all have like 3-4x the migrant population per capita and are doing better than they are.
I’m not so certain we are all that inoculated. Most of our migrants are swedes and other Europeans, too. I’m not versed in specific differences of migration policy though, so I’m not going to start speculating about financing immigration classes or whatever.

Not a problem in Norway?
