sweden is great, the bureaucracy openly talks about the use of ”påtryckningsmedel”, which is literally “means of [exerting] pressure”, to encourage compliance. for example, fines. a delightfully clinical word; ”medel” is also used for “bleach” (”blekmedel” ~= “bleaching agent”)

@hikari I'm working on appraisal of evils, trickster natures, maliciousness inherent to various cultures to understand how they can be subverted or channeled to various ends

@hikari like the riot spirit of malicious frenchness. Or the kabouter prankster energy of the Dutch evil

@hikari or the Academian Anglo demonic occult wizard evil
