For example, why didn't Sweden lockdown during COVID? In the years prior, the country had a huge conformist culture for wokism, just like San Francisco.
And why did Japan hardly do lockdowns? Why were they able to speak strongly against forced vaccination?
Same for Italy. How did their populist prime minister get elected?
Good question.
First thing to consider is the nature of the beast which you call WEF. Then compare this to the Wallenberg Family, basically, one of the biggest employers in Sweden.
This is not to say that this family is behind the WEF. I see too many different factions and interests.
Then there is something else: Never mistake sense of community with socialism. Then, looking at the infrastructure ....Good luck locking a country like that down. It is quite feasible in the cities, perhaps, but the rest?
And then there is the culture itself. It is totally different. Imagine a country where access to nature is a basic right. You can see it in the way things are being worked out and implemented, how people cooperate. It is typically not Yankee/British commerce.
It still is a headscratcher why they allowed this mass-immmigration to take place .... which is now being questioned, though the consequences are they simply were in the process of committing suicide on their country and way of life. This thing is so atypical.
