So, the dinner served porridge as one of the dishes.

The Democrats, the "We're not a Nazi party just because we happen to have lots of Nazis" right-wing party immediately denounced it as a "woke" sop to vegetarians and other undesirables, and an affront to traditional Swedish values.

Apparently the "traditional Swedish values" party had no idea barley porridge is an iconic Swedish dish, and a staple food for over a millennium.

@jannem
More and more I have the suspicion that it's not that these parties don't know what they're claiming is false, but rather they knowingly claim the false things loudly as dog whistles.

@chunshek
Of course. Or - in this case - they really don't give a damn about traditions one way or another; it's just a foil for keeping brown people out of Sweden.

@jannem They're not snowflakes getting all bent out of shape over identity politics, you see.

@jannem
This is both sad and hilarious.

It is also quite telling that among those who truly are trying to preserve and develop traditional Swedish culture (i.e folk music, slöjd etc) SD is despised.

@jannem I take it they’re still not invited to the party, eh?

@gufo @jannem Sadly the Nobel Committee started letting them attend a couple of years ago and haven't reversed that decision afaik

@Mabande @jannem Right - they even made a show of turning up their nose and refusing to attend. These snowflakes…
