@Eagle:
Sorry mate but everyone in Europe knows about Sweden and its ultra liberal rule, its common knowledge, its also common knowledge that the people of Sweden will be a minority in years to come. The capital Malmo is in a bad way because of mass migration. The links I posted are not cherry picked, they are everywhere. The right are gaining support now, just like everywhere in Europe because of ridiculous liberal rule that is destroying the continent. Just look at the state of Germany now.
Not at all. Yes, it is very socially liberal, but it has been economically conservative during 8 years of right-wing rule. Check it up and you'll see. It's just recently that the social-democrats were reelected. Your links are cherry picked. Just look up actual SWEDISH news and you'll see that you are wrong. Google translate is pretty great.
What is ruining the continent is RIGHT-WING politics, as they feed the flames and make people less tolerant and inclusive. Not the other way around.
QuoteHow can you say its conservative politics that are doing this when only the UK has a conservative government as far as I'm aware. Most Euro countries are of democratic/liberal rule, Sweden has been for years, although that is fast starting to swing, just like in France.
No, Europe has become quite right-wing right now, to say the least. Sure, Sweden just became social-democrat again, France as well and the left in Greece barely made it to power. But Norway elected a conservative government, Finland too, so did Estonia etc. Hungary and Poland are getting more and more right-wing extremist - the list goes on.
QuoteThe migrant crisis has been allowed by liberals, people like Merkel, idiots who don't think about the future. Your claim merely supports the notion that you are simply making stuff up with no backup and no links, typical loudmouth liberal who simply refuses to accept what is actually happening (usually offering excuse after excuse).
No I'm not making stuff up - YOU ARE, HUBBS. I actually check Swedish media (albeit translated), and the sources you present here can be tracked back to right-wing news sources and xenophobic internet hotspots. Just Google-translate these Swedish newspaper sites:
www.dn.se
www.svd.se
www.aftonbladet.se
www.gp.se
Or this Swedish news source in English called the
www.local.se (that's the one my step brother checks out).
QuoteNeither am I bothered what your step brother says/thinks because he's probably just like you and supports this madness (is he even a Swede?).
Of course you don't, Hubbs! You don't care about anything that doesn't support your bigoted views and almost psychopathic intolerance against people that aren't white and western.
If you need to know, my step brother met a Swedish girl and moved there with her. So no, he's not a Swede, but he has lived there for 15-16 years, give or take. He was more right-wing when he still lived here in the U.S. but turned left-wing pretty fast as I recon.

The Telegraph = Conservative media outlet
Breitbart = Crazy right-wing media outlet directly related to freaking FOX News.
Gatestone Institute = Well-known for its neo-conservative and right-wing stance and ties.
You want me to start posting links to Huffington Post, or Salon maybe? That would be the leftie equivalent to your righty sources and links, Hubbs.
QuoteHell their media is known to cover up foreign crime stats, they sweep anything related to migrants under the carpet so as not to damage their open outlook policy to the world (google it).
Sweden also has massive ghetto problems and, again, a well known rape problem, both of which are down to immigration problems and common knowledge around Europe.
Lies, lies, damned lies! All your claims are directly tied to websites similar to reddit, 4chan and stormfront. My brother told me there is one called avpixlat and another one called flashback - they're all hate sites, and the stuff you regurgitate here comes straight from those sources. Don't underestimate internet translation. It's quite easy to dig for info online, just as it is easy to distort facts online.
QuoteSeriously mate, you've got a real identity issue haven't you, you're clearly ashamed of who you are and feel the need to jump on bandwagons to somehow liberate yourself. I actually think you need some help or counselling, how can you even write stuff like that about yourself, Jesus Christ! Anyone who uses phrases like that instantly loses all credibility in my eyes. Are you part of this new young set that have been demanding safe spaces from anything and everything that might offend?
You're funny Hubbs! Projecting hard I can tell!
Your entire response to my post to DeathBearer sounds more like you're reflecting on yourself and your own insecurities and issues. It is when you post blatant crap like this that I get the feeling that you actually are an internet troll lurking here on the AVP Galaxy forums just for shits and giggles. You dare talking about me losing credibility for using certain words and phrases when every single post of yours sound exactly the same as your previous ones. You should read through your posts before you post them Hubbs, because right now you either sound like a clueless moron or a sloppy troll.

I lack the conviction to get into a debate or anything, so I'll just say the last time someone tried to tell me about my "white privilege" they were trying to make me feel bad for being white so I tend not to take it seriously.
It's NOT about feeling bad being white. It's about acknowledging that the Western dominated world we live in is still stacked in favor of white people. The West has dominated the world hard for at least the last 300 years. Denying that that has an impact on society, structures, culture etc. is beyond clueless and dishonest.
I don't feel bad about being white at all, but I do feel bad that people that aren't white are treated differently in more ways than one. Especially black people and Muslims. The past always has an effect on the present, no matter how you twist and turn it. Trying to rationalize, excuse or deny that there is white privilege, claiming that all people have the same chances and are treated the same way is like spitting and slapping a non-white person in the face, especially black people, especially here in the U.S. Things has gotten better, but we still have a long way to go.
NOW, throwing the "white privilege" term around to silence people or make them purposely feel bad is downright terrible and destructive and doesn't change things for the better one bit. So yeah, I totally understand where you are coming from. IT's about acknowledgement, not feeling guilty by default.
QuoteAlso Unions hardly exist/lack actual power in my state so I don't know much about that kind of thing.
You can thank good ol' Saint Reagan & co for that. We're not far away from China when it comes to our anti-union stance. But yeah, unions are cool if you're into living wage, pension, workers' rights etc.
