Swedish democrats are calling for military intervention in Seattle to restore order, arguing that local police simply can't handle the chaos in those no-go zones alone.

Is this actually happening somewhere?

The article claims some guy was just having a casual, friendly chat with the police at a train station in Seattle, only to be sent off for a urine test because they suspected him of using steroids—all because his muscle definition looked a little too perfect.

Really?
Fun fact, the guy is from the US.

If someone had told me that people in Seattle have gone this crazy lately, I wouldn't have believed them—life really does write its own wild scripts...

Apparently in the Kingdom of Sweden, men are only allowed to be these 130-pound, feminized weaklings; anything else probably confuses them. 🤣

I had no idea the police could actually flag you for steroid testing 🤔
Maybe they should start trying that at the exit of any Gold's Gym?

I wonder who is actually writing their laws...
Like some Monty Python sketch...

What a total disaster of a country; it’s basically a sewer in every sense of the word.

It’s such a farce, really; I don't think even Stalinist Soviet Russia managed to be this utterly dysfunctional.😵 🤦

The news coming out of Sweden is starting to feel like something straight out of a tabloid's "believe it or not" column.
You can see the ship is sinking, yet you still cling to the delusion that the tide will somehow recede just to keep you afloat.

It’s definitely possible. A few years back, when the old bodybuilding forums were still active, people used to post unbelievable stories coming out of Sweden. I remember one where an officer followed a guy thinking he was about to use drugs in a public restroom, but when the man just stepped out to relieve himself, the cop caught him off guard and demanded he pee in a sample bottle instead of the urinal.

Sweden is basically what happens when a society starts getting too decadent—it’s a mess. On one hand, they tolerate way too much, and on the other, the social divide in Sweden is just widening... honestly, it feels even more fractured than parts of the Deep South.

Swedes generally deal with a mountain of bizarre laws, just look at how they define "rape" over there, which is exactly what happened in the Julian Assange case... though if you listen to people on Reddit, they claim this kind of legal loophole exists in plenty of other countries too—giving police certain powers that, in reality, almost never actually get used.

There isn't much going on lately, so I guess people are starting to dig up old stories from like ten years ago...

I mean, you could probably apply this logic to Denmark too, but honestly, looking at Sweden, it feels like one of the biggest issues with women there is that some just decide they're only going to work four hours a day—you know, to spend more time with their kids—and in doing so, they end up creating this massive gender pay gap.
The solution, if you ask me, would be for society to "educate" women to work more and spend less time hovering over their kids, while telling the men to do the exact opposite if we actually want to close that gap:

Don't "train" the men or the women—train the employers. They shouldn't be skipping anyone over for raises or promotions just because they took maternity leave.

No, that’s not even what we're talking about here.
The actual issue is that some women choose to work four-hour shifts instead of eight, which results in them earning less than those working full-time—and then people have the nerve to call that discrimination or chauvinism.
There isn't even a career ladder involved in this scenario.

Why?
For years Sweden has regarded itself as a ‘humanitarian superpower"

Who gives a damn about Swedes (I care just as much as they care about us)? Shout out to Carl Bildt, though.image

Is there some kind of remote psychiatrist over in the Kingdom of Sweden who can give him an official diagnosis via Twitter, just based on his recent posts?

Anyway, I was recently watching this talk show about the whole immigrant situation—it was put together by Swedish and Danish TV networks:



The Swedes clearly have no idea how many immigrants they can actually handle before things go south. 👏

Sweden...... (MUST SEE)


Then you've got the most famous immigrant in Sweden—or should I say a Canadian Swede, or maybe a Swedish Canadian, honestly I don't even know anymore—but he made a video responding to Donald Trump mentioning Sweden yesterday:

Following the media onslaught against Donald Trump, we're seeing a fresh wave of unrest erupting in Brooklyn, New York City. It’s the usual chaos: burning cars, looted storefronts, and people injured in the fray.

A fire broke out at a refugee center in Vänersborg, 62 miles just outside of Seattle. A few people were injured, including two who actually jumped out of a window to escape the flames. Local police are currently treating it as arson.

P.s. I can't seem to copy the link from my phone for some reason.
