velvetmaker3 said:Putin hit the nail on the head. If we actually started using "not knowing the language" as an excuse for committing crimes, the whole system would be wide open to abuse. For instance, if I robbed a bank, I could just claim I didn't understand what the tellers or the security guard were saying, so I had no idea they were actually trying to stop me from robbing them. Or, I could claim I didn't realize the woman I kidnapped and assaulted was saying "no" just because I couldn't grasp the language. Where is this crazy European Union even heading?
It’s been settled there for quite some time now... ☕
Nicole Nelson8 said:Honestly, in this dysfunctional country, if you actually dare to deny a criminal his sub-human rights by trying to defend yourself, you're the one who ends up screwed. These people only understand violence; there's no way you're stopping them with mere words. It's the same garbage in most of Europe. Heaven forbid someone from a lower caste like me accidentally injures a member of the high-caste criminal class while acting in self-defense or protecting someone else.
It wouldn't be an issue for me personally, but for most people, it is—because we're living in such a total parody of a state that even Jonathan Swift wouldn't have dreamed up.
There were two specific instances mentioned here on the forum a while back, though I don't really feel like digging through the archives since it was probably two or three years ago... In the first instance, someone stepped in to protect a girl from two idiots attempting a sexual assault. In the second, someone defended what I think was a niece from some violent local thug... In both cases, the defenders were stuck dealing with the legal system, while those criminals were essentially treated like victims...
I was scrolling through YouTube yesterday and came across an ABB commercial, where I caught some subtle jabs being thrown at certain Swedes in English... one part even suggested that Sweden wasn't truly a civilized nation until recently. It seems like all those loud advocates for multiculturalism and political correctness always happen to live in strictly white neighborhoods anyway...
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if something like Mossad started running operations within Sweden, or if the CIA suddenly labeled Sweden a nation that supports global terrorism...
I don't really have the feeling that they're going to push for those famous 40% quotas for women... And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up recruiting former ISIS veterans too, knowing how liberally insane they can be...
It’s really no surprise at all. They've spent so much time burying their heads in the sand, blinded by political correctness and those outdated Marxist utopias... they'll probably just cook up some new scheme to distract everyone, just like they always have, but there is one thing they will never be able to bring themselves to do: Actually admit they were wrong and that the other side was right all along...
I’m reading through this and I honestly can't wrap my head around it. Is this actually happening?...
From the report:
Staff at an asylum center have been prohibited from holding a memorial service—essentially a Protestant version of a funeral mass—for a woman who was murdered. On top of that, social workers in Kiruna were told they aren't allowed to fly the flag at half-mast as a gesture of mourning and respect.
And there is more to it...
According to the details:
The service eventually took place at a nearby church in Kiruna, but the staff members who were on duty at the time were explicitly told by the board that they couldn't leave their posts to attend the memorial for their fallen colleague. They weren't granted permission to go.
Perhaps the narrative would be handled differently if it had been a secular event instead of a religious one...

The way to fix this seems pretty obvious, but there just doesn't seem to be any desire to actually do it...
It honestly feels to me like the administration has turned itself into an Orwellian Ministry of Truth.
And looking at TV, it seems like there are more PR lobbyists zealously praising the editorial policies of mainstream media than there are actual Redditors...
What exactly is it they want us to say about Sweden? Should we talk about Ford, IKEA, the Eurovision Song Contest, or maybe ABB... or perhaps just those overly polished, propaganda-style tributes painting Sweden as this perfect bastion of gender equality and feminism...
It feels a bit disheartening that this story was broken by Daily News, especially since they aren't exactly known for their integrity, while everyone else seems content to just look the other way...
