I don't get the sense of "oh my god a country being taken over by feminazis and mooslems" that these pictures seem intended to evoke. Instead I get the sense that Sweden actually just has a sincere belief in the validity of allowing people to express themselves, and that those people expressing themselves are themselves subject to that belief, as opposed to the lip-service NIMBY approach usually seen

Like, "hey, yeah, this school where gendered pronouns are banned. May as well see what happens" or "yeah white women you can wear headscarfs if you want, and even invite people to do the same thing, you do whatever makes you happy" or "huh, this performance artist is evoking serious reflection and commentary with her work" - none of it seems as though there's a legitimate chance of it overtaking the status quo, but you could see it being reasonably accepted if everyone fairly decided it should be.

I mean, hell, can you really say that there are no issues at all with the status quo being a function of the white majority?

Also what the hell Australia that some serious HDI going on

Surah Al-Baqarah posted:

191. And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

192. But if they cease, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

193. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

Surah At-Taubah posted:

5. Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Somebody posted in the latest Köln rapefugee thread that "Sweden is really bad at immigration" and it's true. It's an insular culture marked by social conformism, conflict avoidance and trying to accomodate everyone. It's like we've taken egalitarianism far enough to forget that social hierarchies and negative reinforcement exist for and serve a purpose. Our schools are in shambles in no small part due to the teacher's position as an authority figure having been eroded and him being expected to keep a bunch of hormonal teenage shitheads in line through "dialogue".

If you're a well-adjusted go-getter, you'll do fine in Sweden. If you aren't, nobody will tell you to get your poo poo in order *or else* because that's not how Swedes work through issues. We give them a pat on the head and expect the best of them regardless.

Calling my dick by its name thereafter [the 17th c.] became more difficult and more costly. As if in order to gain mastery of it in reality, it had first been necessary to subjugate it at the level of language, control its free circulation in speech, expunge it from the things that were said, and extinguish the words that rendered it too visibly present.

Second highest on the Social Progress Index, but once those Norrbaggsjävlar are out of oil money, it's smooth sailing.

E: Konung is more fancy-pancy, the king's title is officially Hans Majonnäs Honungen, while "kung" is more everyday speech and/or generic term for kings.

Q:

1) Do you care if wares that you buy were made by child labour?

2) Do you make any efforts to check them?

A:

1) Yes, children have no sense for quality, and it shows on the products.

2) No.

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state
