Is Sweden becoming nazi?

Post Reply New Topic

I've read in the Danish news that Swedish Nazis are very popular these days.

Why does Sweden support the nazi movements? Why do the Swedish people allow Evil?

The Sweden Democrats: previously Ethno-Nationalists now terming themselves Cultural Nationalists (they had a falling out with their own youth organisation, who continue calling themselves Ethno-Nationalists). They have had a big surge in popularity, rapidly becoming the third largest party over the course of a few years mostly owing to the ineptitude of the established parties rather than to any measurable degree of competence on their own part. They're pretty much a party of discontent; voting for them (or saying that you're going to in the polls) is a middle-finger to the established parties refusal to acknowledge that while the solutions that SD themselves propose are ineffective at best and outright absurd at worst, the issues that they raise about immigration (and the EU) are valid concerns that need to be adressed. If someone has a problem with the EU, the only options are the farthest right or the farthest left, everyone inbetween is pro-EU. And no one wants to even acknowledge how badly they've screwed the pooch trying to handle immigration in the last decade or so, so the Nazis have a pretty solid stick to hit the establishment over the head with, and all they can do in return is sticking their head in the sand and call them names.

It's all very farcical, but I'm more annoyed with the established parties than I'm worred that I'll wake up one day and suddenly the Nazis are in charge.

In practice, everybody to the right of Bernie Sanders is a Nazi, according to the mainstream media. I guess it's the same in Sweden, and perhaps worse.

And that's where you swing and you miss. Not only will that make it more cool and rebellious to do so, but it will also alienate everyone who thinks freedom of thought and freedom of speech are important principles to adhere to, which is a substantially larger group than the actual Nazis. You don't stop Nazis by using 1984 as an instruction manual.

Because a) the goverment does not have mandate to vet thoughts or opinions for acceptability. It may punish me if I take an illegal action, but it may not punish me for having an illegal thought. And b) because in protecting their right to free speech I also protect my own right to listen. I have a right to hear what they have to say and accept or reject it on its merits, and I will not outsource this process to the government. That way lies tyranny.
