How The Far Right Conquered Sweden
New York Times ^ | September , 2018 | Jochen Bittner

Posted on 09/06/2018 7:40:44 AM PDT by OddLane

To understand why Sweden, a bastion of social democracy, might end up with a far-right party in government after national elections on Sunday, you need to take a walk with Ahmed Abdirahman.

An American-educated Somali immigrant who works as a policy analyst at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Abdirahman grew up and now lives in the suburb of Rinkeby-Tensta, where some 90 percent of residents have a foreign background, roughly 80 percent live on welfare or earn low incomes and 42 percent are under age 25. It is a violent place: Sixteen people were killed there in 2016, mostly in drug-related conflicts, an unheard-of number in this typically peaceful country.

As we walk along one of its main streets at 7 p.m., shopkeepers pull down the metal shutters in front of their windows, while young masked men on scooters start speeding through the streets. A police helicopter hovers overhead...

The Swedes have a moral obligation to die and let the Mooslims have their country.

The excerpt tells the story of how Islam conquered Sweden.

Is there a headline mixup?

“Far right” = doesn’t want their wives and daughters raped by invading unchecked and unlimited migration.

WE ARE POST LEFT AND RIGHT.

We are now GLOBALIST vs. NATIONALIST.

Trump sees the world in those terms. America First. We win trade wars, protect our borders, love our flag, controlled immigration, American values, American jobs.

Globalists see nation-states as obsolete. They want open borders. They want to wipe out democracies by wiping out the native population. Your vote won’t matter because it will be diluted with foreigners. Corporations only matter world values, cheap labor express, uncontrolled immigration.

That is another reason I like the 2nd Amendment. Those are wanna be terrorists looking for a mark.

I am shocked that the NY Times drew such an accurate picture of a Mooslim no-go zone.

The Times uses a past-tense headline about something that hasn’t happened yet... Brilliant!

In Europe, Hillary is "far right".

Piano wire just below chin level works, too. Pulled taut at just the right moment.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm only about half finished with my mug of coffee, and I got confused.

“On scooters, eh? You just have to lead them a bit.”

Whisper to yourself, “Pull!” and swing past and then squeeze the trigger while still swinging through.

The Swamp is deep in Sweden, too.

No such takeover is going to happen without a bloody fight.

Far right!!!!!!!1 For crying out loud it makes it out that this o muslim lives in fear from a bunch of skinheads looking to kill him, when in fact this is about refugees and muslims who are destroying Sweden.
They were invited in by the radical left, liberals, socialists, and communists and now the left does the same here.

Well if these aren’t reasons to Celebrate Diversity & Multi-Culturalism, then I don’t know what is

It’s an excellent point. Both the GOP and the D’s have been trying to kill us for decades now. So if there is no left and right, what is there?

Globalist vs. Nationalist.

Thing is, there’s a lot to exploit here if you are a ‘globalist’. Nationalism feels selfish and reactionary. Globalist feels, well, like ‘We are the World’.

Don’t like the tilt of the field.

The title is very misleading.

The ‘far right’ didn’t conquer anything, they just got voted in because the ‘far left’ failed to protect the citizens from the immigrant rapists.

Right!?

They’ve spent a lot of effort telling us they don’t exist, then very much show us they do.
