 @7ea6f088 He looks and sounds a lot like many middle and higher management (politicised) bureaucrats here in Sweden. Boring, pompous nobodys that are formed in the political culture. Maybe he is even an idol for many of these. Around my age or a bit younger. It's like they come from a factory. Stoltenberg himself was prime minister, and he is a child of "top" politicians. These people have a certain arrogance and robotiness over them. And if you contradict them, they can get really nasty.
