personally getting into politics is an underappreciated way of enacting change. but you need to organise and think unconventionally

in most swedish municipalities, the local branches of most parties that have political representation on the city council are TINY. in many cases it's like just that one elected politician and their mother. that's the local branch

in most cities, you'd just need like say 5 friends to take over the local branch of most of the parties with political representation

there are enough queer people in sweden to do this to the sweden democrats, the nazi party that's also our second largest, in EVERY MUNICIPALITY. and once that's done, you control the party completely.

obviously the nazis will move on to other parties, but there's a momentum that will last—i believe—over at least two elections, where people will keep voting for it even though it's nothing like before politically

that's one way to do it.

now, imagine what you could do with a party that's a lot closer to the politics you want! where your group could fly under the radar, like in a leftist, green or centrist/european style liberal party.

i once stopped a clandestine coup like that, by some right-leaning liberal people who were appropriating feminist and climate action language. it's a thing that happens. you can do it too
