What does social democracy have to do with hating privacy?
The UK, US, Australia, and other capitalist flagships are all trying to do the same. Not to mention the Patriot Act.

- globalnode 1y agoI guess the human temptation to want to know what people are saying behind your back goes beyond political/economic systems.
- mantas 1y agoSocial democracy is also capitalism. I’d rather word that differently. High-trust societies with little expectation of privacy and valuing community tend to do well with social democracy. Otherwise people end up abusing the system and it’s hard to catch them if privacy trumps community needs. Here in ex-USSR country people are very pro privacy and individualist. At the same time we try to copy a lot of Nordic stuff from our neighbors. It’s a shitshow how those cultures mesh. A lot of welfare abuse, hiding beyond muh privacy to avoid scrutinity.
