I've always referred to them as "Gestapos" myself, but "Karen

In sweden, most people like the concept. Yuck! =(

You'll find that the 'Karens' who live in neigborhoods who are covered
by Karen Factories also tend to like Karen Factories.

Logically I can only conclude that all of sweden is a Karen Factory. ;)

You'll also find a fair number of folks who have not had to endure the
trouble that a Karen Factory will create that think they also like the
concept.  Of course, they are thinking of it as "my neighbor won't be
able to start a lard rendering plant or glue factory next door".  Once
they buy in, and get trapped, they learn that reality is that the
Karens are measuring the length of their grass blades with a ruler and
fining them $862.00 for the blades being 0.020 inch longer than the
"approved length".

Yuck! It would not be good for my health to have such a person close by. Sounds as if it could escalate to violence fairly quickly if a Karen tried to measure my grass blades.
