Swedish Democrats get 13% of the vote in Sweden elections

[rusvik]

And the conservative coalition decided they'd rather turn power over to the socialists than be backed by them.

If only USA had as much choice as they've got...Those %s look pretty distributed.

Social Democrats 31.2%
Moderate Party 23.2%
Sweden Democrats 12.9%
Green Party 6.8%
Centre Party 6.1%
Left Party 5.7%
Liberal Party 5.4%
Christian Democrats 4.6%

Too bad our media portrays our elections as a 1v1 boxing match and every idiot buys that storyline like a discount of PBR at Walmart.

According to the article there was also the "Feminist Initiative" with 3.1%. They do have a lot choice in terms of parties, but most of them would be seen as "left" or "far left" from the USA political perspective.

Using a single left/right axis for categorization can be insufficient of course, especially when comparing groups from different nations. This is highlighted by the Sweden Democrats being labeled as "far right" due to their views on immigration and whatever, but at the same time they are also pushing for things like :

"More hospital beds
More places in elderly care homes with better conditions

Increase maternity pay to give more women the choice to stay at home with their children
Make family counselling free in all municipalities
More funding for late-night childcare for single parents

Re-nationalize all Swedish schools
Boost grants designed to help schools in need of refurbishment
Increase adult staff numbers in schools.."

Hungary's Jobbik party recently hit 20% of the vote. Now Sweden is on the move. Wherever there's diversity there's conflict. Sweden is no different. They have the 2nd highest rape numbers in the world and the overwhelming majority of rapists are Muslims.

The Muslims should be sent back to their respective countries. Let them rape there.

I am Swedish living in another EU country, and after this election I don't think I want to go home. Back to a social democratic clusterfuck we go!

Did a "Swedish rape" search on Google (btw, doing a "swedish rape" image search @ 9pm EST if anyone wants to skype) and found that a Swedish politician was convicted of a hate crime for posting statistics on Facebook.

Hide stats from the public for their own good. Nice. Thankfully, the media acts as a sturdy condom for left-leaning bureaucratic spooge, lest any change be birthed.

Sweden is a soft dictatorship. As close to Orwell's 1984 as it gets.

Wherever there's diversity there's conflict. Sweden is no different.

Sweden is still not very diverse compared to the majority of nations. Canada is much more diverse, for example, but also has low crime. Haiti has little diversity, but higher crime.

"Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada."

They have the 2nd highest rape numbers in the world and the overwhelming majority of rapists are Muslims.

Sweden also has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world, which tends to be a much more accurate statistic.


Rape in Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"There have been several international comparisons made, placing Sweden at the top end of the number of reported rapes. However, police procedures and legal definitions vary widely across countries, which makes it difficult to compare rape statistics. For example, Sweden reformed its sex crime legislation and made the legal definition of rape much wider in 2005, which largely explains a significant increase in the number of reported rapes in the ten-year period of 2004-2013. The Swedish police also record each instance of sexual violence in every case separately, leading to an inflated number of cases compared to other countries...

Unlike the majority of countries in Europe, crime data in Sweden is collected when the offence in question is first reported, at which point the classification may be unclear. In Sweden, once an act has been registered as rape, it retains this classification in the published crime statistics, even if later investigations indicate that no crime can be proven or if the offence must be given an alternative judicial classification...

The concept of rape can be defined narrowly or in a more expansive manner. In Sweden, the definition of rape has been successively widened over the years, leading to an ever larger number of sexual assaults being classified as rape."

^^^ I said "conflict" not "crime." The problem, for the most part, is due to skin color. Non-whites cannot fully blend into white societies. Even if they adopt the culture completely, they will still stand out because of their skin color. The same would happen if large numbers of whites moved to China. The whites would stick out like sore thumbs. Eventually, immigrants of other skin colors realize this and form their own interest groups. In the US, we have black interest groups, Asian interest groups, etc.

Who jails a politician for posting stats on a social site? Who is behind this and how do they get away with it?

That's what I wanna know.

So you're saying that skin color is a bigger factor in failed (or difficult) societal integration than cultural perception is?

GTFO. None of your links seem to substantiate that claim whatsoever.

The only reason skin color matters is because it's often associated with a particular culture.

Nobody sees a black guy and says, "Ew. I hate black skin, and therefore reject this individual. He doesn't have the same skin color as me or my friends. He sticks out." This doesn't even happen on a subconscious level.

If anything, it's - "Oh, there's a black guy." If you associate black skin with an aggressive, violent, and anti-social culture, you're going to pre-judge the individual based on your perception of the CULTURE his skin color is attached to.

It's all about culture, bro. Skin color just makes it easy to estimate someone's cultural affiliation.

If it's all about culture, then how come Asians, Mexicans, blacks etc that have been in the US for generations need their own ethnic/racial interest groups? Something is preventing them from feeling 100% American. They can learn the language, customs, and habits but their race prevents them from 100% assimilation and they know it. That's why they have their ethnic/racial interest groups.

This is interesting and I've thought about it a lot, I will share something.

I had a couple of kids in Mexico with my wife who's native Mexican. Both my kids took my skin color and turned out ghostly white.

When they end up in the USA they will be looked at and thought of as American because they are white, but in fact they are actually Mexican American (technically speaking).

Had things turned out differently and they ended up dark, people would have looked at them as Mexican American.

I think appearance shapes perception and skin color is a big part of that.



tl;dr infiltratin' 'merika with a new half-breed of border-hoppin' spawn and ya'll can't stop me cuz you can't tell the difference muuuhahaha!

Something is preventing them from feeling 100% American. They can learn the language, customs, and habits but their race prevents them from 100% assimilation and they know it. That's why they have their ethnic/racial interest groups.

1. African Americans (blacks in the US who are descended from slaves) are 100% American. They're arguably more American than many other lighter-skin ethnic groups that hopped off a boat 100+ years after the slaves were cattle-prodded off theirs. Black culture is a facet of American culture, plain and simple. Black history is a part of American history. "American culture" isn't this white, homogeneous, WASP-ish blob you might see depicted in a 1950s PSA.

2. When you say "feel American," what do you mean? If you're referring to non-white ethnic groups who feel they're at a distinct socioeconomic disadvantage, their sense of disillusionment and rejection might stem from the fact their culture isn't compatible with conventional American expectations, or they just don't know how to adjust (OR don't want to adjust for fear of losing their cultural roots).

3. You act as though only non-white individuals have special interest groups here in the US, when in fact German-Americans, Greek-Americans, Norwegian-Americans, Albanian Americans, Jews, and Italians all have their own recognized ethnic interest groups. [Source].

Culture, culture, culture. Skin color is just a signal. In fact, some times even skin color fails as a signal.

Case in point: Many "native-born" white Americans used to abhor Irish immigrants and depicted them in the same way Negros were depicted (sub-human neanderthals).

I don't think anyone can name a Norwegian American, Italian American or Greek American special interest group. If there are any, they're mostly for cultural days and don't fight for Norwegian rights, handouts, etc. You see, when Norwegians, for example, spend a couple generations in the US, very few people can tell they're Norwegian. They blend in completely. You could stare one in the face and not know they're Norwegian. Same for Irish, Germans, etc. No matter how many generations a black or Asian family is in the US, you will still know they're black/Asian. They know it, too. Hence, the reason for their special interest groups. If they felt completely assimilated, they wouldn't base their interest groups on race like groups like La Raza.

Up until the 1960s when the Immigration Control Act was passed, America was about 90% white. The overwhelming majority of Americans have been traditionally white. That is a historical memory that will persist for a long time. It's only recently that America has become a hodgepodge of races and cultures.

Just imagine if there were hundreds of thousands of whites in China, do you think they would ever blend in 100%? It would never happen. They would always stick out and whites would probably have the same kind of interest groups thats Asians, etc have here.
