I, personally find this lecture very boring, but I would say Sweden is worth some study.
My country is one of the most well functioning on Earth. If not the most.
mmm... Svedka...
“Svedka...”
- “Svedka”, actually, translates into “I give up” in ancient Swedish tongue.
Is this what you wish to declare?
I Declare that Svedka is the Finest vodka in the entire World...
East Texas Martini: Svedka, bacon, and jalapeno...
wash and repeat
Great with Whataburgers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is your immigration policy so totally screwed up, like ours?
Have u been 2 Malmo recently? What is it like?
Islam Taking Over Malmo Sweden~Video
While those in the UK that want to keep Britishness alive are in a fight vs. Muslims and their leftist supporters, the same problem is happening in Sweden. This is a repost from Islam in Action, but a worthy reminder. Islam and its leftist supporters are like a life threatening disease to Western civilization.

“East Texas Martini: Svedka, bacon, and jalapeno...”
- I’m game!
I, willingly, admit my part of the World lacks behind Texas in the field of spicy food, but believe me when saying we Vikings throw parties too..
Raw salmon, newly clubbed cod, eels just having been ripped of their skin and plenty of brännvin/vodka.
Live life to the fullest.
Best of regards!
Wonderful video, but we need to see more of the ugly truth; in every scene, I saw attentive blonde kids eager for Swedish lessons.
A more accurate picture of a school would have been similar to Arizona or Los Angeles.. 1/3 Swedish kids, 1/3 mongrel, and 1/3 Allah-craving Sweden haters eagerly lapping up education funds at the expense of hard-working Swedes.
By quite a margin MOST prisoners in Sweden are those who have nothing to do with Sweden, and sadly are even proud of it. Most women in Swedish women shelters are muzzie recent arrivals, most rapes are by muzzie perps, the list goes on and on.
There is this fantastic Swedish formula, and in just the last 30 years they....seem that they can’t fully relish it until they burn it up in a sudden poof of white phosphorous, on behalf of fatalistic, slovenly clitorectomists from sand-choked hell-holes.
Seems like a lot of double talk. On one hand, taxes are very high compared to US standards. On the other hand, taxes are not high because you get 85% of what you pay back. On one hand, Sweden is the perfect welfare state. On the other hand, very little of the government fisc is paid to the poor.
It’s easy to tell this tale, but does it measure up to reality?
He doesn’t seem to understand the US, either. Doesn’t he understand that we also have social security, medicare, and now Obamacare? Doesn’t he understand that the rich pay the overwhelming bulk of the taxes in the US? Doesn’t he understand that Big Government has run amok in the US? He makes it sound like we are like the Wild West—completely unregulated. In reality, we are one of the most regulated societies on Earth.
I am always suspicious when I see someone compare the US to a country that has fewer than 10 million inhabitants—particularly when the other country has very little demographic variation. Sweden has a population approximately the size of NYC. Sweden is less than 1/30 the size of the US population-wise. Government planning works a lot better when you are planning for 8 million people than when you are planning for 300 million.
Muslim women in Sweden don’t give birth to as many children as Swedish ones do. Therefore, I’m not especially concerned.
This is what a Lutheran city (Malmö and others) looks like:

Yeah, it appears that the Swedes themselves don’t engender a high crime rate. They are generally well behaved (even though by standards that would scandalize more “puritan” countries like the USA) and most of the serious trouble is coming from the Muslim influx that they have naively thrown the gate open to.
On a worldwide scale, the statistics prove that Muslims vastly outmultiply everyone else. Have the Lutherans in Sweden figured out some exotic Christian aphrodisiac?
I did not find it boring in any respect.
I would like to hear a similar short lecture regarding Spain, Germany, Greece, the United Kingdom and the United States.
“He doesn’t seem to understand the US, either.”
- I’d say so too.
I don’t have a say when it comes to American domestic affairs, but if I did, my conclusion would be this; Whatever policy that works or does not work in Sweden will have little impact on American soil, simply beacause USA is not Sweden.
In any case, it’s a good thing Sweden has abandonded Socialism. Sweden was rich 20 years ago alright, but our standard of living is like heaven today compared to 1990 and we no longer support Cuba.
“On a worldwide scale, the statistics prove that Muslims vastly outmultiply everyone else. Have the Lutherans in Sweden figured out some exotic Christian aphrodisiac?”
- No, we just enjoy sex.
WC, have you ever read my favorite popular book on economics, P.J. O’Rourke’s Eat The Rich? There’s a very long chapter in the book on Sweden, and O’Rourke concludes that socialism only works in places that have a powerful work ethic, in which people worked as hard as they would in a completely free-market system. The speaker in the video hints at the same thing, but, being Swedish, is too modest to say it out loud.
From there, it would be inevitable that people would want to start being rewarded for their hard work. Putting in long hours so that a family on “benefits” can welcome its sixth child (while you and your wife struggle to support two)—I imagine that gets old at some point.
Big Ole Red Salmon? iAminos!( Lets Go! ) How about Sept. 5? I have always wanted to fish the northern seas...
Cya, bacon is cooking!
