Sweden's riots raise questions about inequality

"Sweden has the very best economy in ALL of Europe."

I think Norge is better.

[SCHROLL]

It’s not about inequality, it’s about the mob demanding more and more they haven’t done a damn thing to earn.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The issue is never equality, which reality refutes on a daily basis; but exclusion of those who do not and never will belong except for pretense on the part of the host nation.

” - - - Sweden has long been a bastion of generous social welfare - - - “

Duh, what could have possibly been a bad idea in the first place?

STOCKHOLM IS BURNING: Muslim Youths Torch Police Station, Nursery and School

"Overall, about 15 percent of Sweden's 9.5 million people were born abroad, compared to 10 percent 10 years ago. The influx has mostly come from war-torn countries such as Iraq, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Syria."

This is a textbook case of a culture destroying itself. It is the suicide of liberalism, born of arrogance and stupidity. Because of the decline of the native Swedish birth rate, in 5 years the Muslim percent will be 20%, then 25%, and - probably within 35-40 years - more than 50%. Sweden is already doomed, the tipping point has passed.

For some, the real reason for the unrest is the high unemployment and isolation of youths in the southern and western Stockholm suburbs where the violence occurred -

Good ol' AP! Couldn't resist the old myth...

It's not the Mass-Murdering-Culture (MMM) that's to blame.

It's the victims'

[SMARTY]

“...ones who see little future for themselves or access to Sweden’s prosperity...”

They can always go home and try that stuff in THEIR homeland. Let’s see if they can get away with burning, rioting and everything else back there!

[Steve_Seattle]

As the Muslim population grows, the native Swedes will hear demands for more of this and more of that. there will be more violence and more intimidation, and the sociologists will insist that Sweden still hasn’t done enough. At some point, native Swedes will know they are doomed to Islamic domination and will begin to leave, accelerating the inevitable. Then the Muslim mobs will rape and kill the stupid sociologists, who will be the only native Swedes left.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Youths" = Moslems, right?

[publius911]

They can always go home and try that stuff in THEIR homeland. Let’s see if they can get away with burning, rioting and everything else back there!

Only once.
In Sweden they can repeat atrocities over and over.

They're animals; but not stupid!

[BenLurkin]

The stupidity — it burns!

[SMARTY]

How about this?

Why don't these Liberal and so well-meaning people who support ME types and others coming into their country, go and live in THEIR neighborhoods and not just wait for the immigrants to ‘make it’ in their hew home.

THAT would be good for ALL concerned. The immigrants could make friends and socialize with their host neighbors and the Swedes could get to know the people they have invited and help them to assimilate!!

Would THAT work?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Time and disastrous events will establish whether or not the native Swede has any power of resistance remaining in his being.

[jmacusa]

Wow. That is a stunning contradiction in terms if ever I’ve seen one!

[PetroniusMaximus]

“Time and disastrous events will establish whether or not the native Swede has any power of resistance remaining in his being.”

I think Western Europe is a dead tree rotting from within.

Islam is only the termites.

[GOPJ]

Swedes see themselves as 'caring' liberals - good people. They expect immigrants they've accepted to their beautiful country to be grateful - not resentful. That's delusional.

Muslim immigrants don't feel gratitude - they feel their home systems are superior but their leaders were corrupt. If it weren't for that 'detail' their countries would be just as powerful as they were hundreds of years ago. That's also delusional.

Liberal Swedes reap the benefits of Muslim cheap labor - workers to prop up a welfare state top heavy with old people. For a price. A price getting higher every year. Muslims wanted to enjoy the benefits of Sweden's modern culture while assuming they could force changes on the the Swedes. But Swedes have ZERO interest in going back to the middle ages..

It's a mess.

[JAKraig]

ah... the STRENGTH of diversity.

Ain’t it grand!

There isn't any diversity, it's all Muslims.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agreed. The rotting European tree requires radical tree surgery cutting out the rot and resultant termites if it is to survive. It will, of course, have scars from the radical surgery but at least it will live!

The problem is certainly one of inequality.
