  • bad behaviour, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organisations.

    Is such a bad summary, and all of the people prasing this law in this comment section as well, fail to mention a very important other “bad behaviour” which is suppose to be included in this law: Being a fucking VICTIM of a crime. They have been saying this since day one. Victims of crimes needs to be deported.

    Their resoning is that someone being victim of a crime is probably living in a social situation which the far-right government deem inappropriate. Like “undeclared work”; is your boss not paying their taxes for your work? You need to go.

    This law is there because it is the first step in creating an apartheid. If you have a single parent born in a foreign country – the far right is even talking about their worry about “third generation” immigrants – they should not be considered Swedish. Punishments for them they say must be different, you must always be threatened with deportation. You should not have access to public services and so on.

    This law is a fucking god-send for neo-nazis. Can you imagine? Immigrants who are victims of crime gets deported. Assault them, rape them, and they will be deported if they say anything. But the neo-nazi can go home and have dinner with their family. This is probably what the current government wants as one minister has an active club neo-nazi son! He is not being deported because he is in an extremist organization! Oh, wait, sorry it is just “kids with an interest in fitness”, as several government party reps have been saying about actual neo-nazis.




  • Not really that simple. Is EM curving space time? Yes. But it does it in a very different way. EM is a force which couples to charges, magnetism, transferred by light. Gravity is a completely different beast. Super weak, but couples to everything. Mass? Yeah. Massless particles (light)? Yeah. The interraction strength itself is not an indication on how it affects the curvature of space (well, EM as a gauge theory is a curvature of a mathematical space, but gravity is one of physical space).

    As far as I know, none of the observed black holes (like in LIGO) have ever observed something that would be a charged black hole, but there is the theoretical formulation of one called a Reissner Nordström black hole. In that formulation you can see how adding charge and mass acts differently. For one thing, EM charge can be negative and positive, but either sign affects the spacetime the same, in a very simple way: the square of the charge appears in the expression. But mass only appears linear. Just as an example of how they play a very different role when it comes to curvature.
