I (a European jew) usually tk about assimilation and struggling against assimilation. I don’t know, maybe anti-assimilationist?

That’s actually pretty cool.

Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.

Wesley Crusher : But William James won’t be on my Starfleet exams.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.

Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy…

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.

I think some local context is worth it (I’m Swedish). This is a result of the fairly new parliamentary coalition in Sweden between the right wing conservatives and the fascist party. The position of the fascists range from that climate change is a hoax to climate policy doesn’t work. The conservatives have generally just used nuclear power as a copout so they won’t have to acknowledge that they lack any climate policy. They also have several open climate change deniers in parliament.

Since they took power, they’ve been shutting down project after project, budget after budget relating to climate policy (edit: especially when to comes to solar and wind power, and deforestation), especially after completely shutting down the department for environmental policy. So my guess is that this is mostly a way to cancel the old plan to make Sweden fossil free.
