Comment on Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

Ah yes, Klarna. The proof that not everything is all right with Sweden. Proof that Nordic countries, too, are capable of incredibly dark things. …Do I need to continue?

Capitalistic assholes are everywhere. As long as you keep them in check, you can build a good system.

I assume you’re not from Scandinavia if you need Klarna as proof

  I’m from Finland so technically not from Scandinavia. But yes, we do have multiple proofs of the strange and disturbing things happening in Sweden. Here, hardly a week goes by without someone asking “why is PostNord?”

    You’re one of us then! ;)
    
    But no, I just mean, between things like Northvolt, Think Pink, mines on Sami land etc it doesn’t take Klarna to show us that many things are amiss up here. And there are many crappy companies like Klarna; Lundin Energy and Embracer Group/Savvy Gaming just to name a couple. IKEA destroying ancient forests.
    
    Not to mention that Sweden is essentially a wealth haven ruled by old aristocrats and a few oligarchs.
    
    I’m impressed we were able to maintain such a good reputation internationally. I guess the whole world just sucks!

Sweden is one of the main exporters of Neoliberalism outside of its own borders.
