How it usually works here is there’s two blocks plus the Swedish Democrats. You have the Socials, Greens and Lefty party as one block and then the Center, Liberals, Moderates and Christians as the other block. Whoever gets the most combined usually forms the government. In the polls both currently have around 38% each meaning they’ll need the Swedish Democrats to support them (which they’ve all said they won’t do) or they do what they did last time and basically agree to not be a true opposition for 4 years so the Swedish Democrats have no influence. Another scenario is the traditional blocks breaking up. The Voters of the Moderates and Christians are very pro working with the Swedish Democrats so you could have a situation where those two agree to form a coalition with them and the Center and Liberal parties have no part in it.
:nod: And Geert Wilders' party is currently polling 22% in Holland. And the AfD are polling 17% in Germany (up from the 12.5% they won at the last election), while people in East Germany are taking to the streets in their thousands because they'd actually quite like their government to give a shìt about the impact immigration has had on them.
Seriously, what did these fùckers expect would happen? :shrug:
Record wait times at hospitals. Gang violence out of control. Oh and let us not forget all the raping. A recent investigation showed 58% of all rapes in the last 5 years were done by immigrants (52% by immigrants from outside of the EU). A fraction of the population doing 58% of the raping.
:nod: And hand grenade attacks having gone from pretty much zero to something that require their own Wikipedia page.

If they'd actually set out to destroy one of the most peaceful, prosperous and law-abiding societies on earth, they couldn't have done a better job.
:nod: It has been weaponised in such a way that anyone addressing a subject that has any racial element in a way that puts non-white people in a bad light is routinely called racist, dismissed and ostracised. Thus it has simply become a means whereby non-white people are rendered exempt from criticism.
Point out that violent crime is disproportionately perpetrated by black youths? Racist.
Point out that Child Sexual Exploitation is overwhelmingly perpetrated by muslim men of Pakistani origin? Racist.
Raise a concern that the number of prosecutions for FGM remains at zero? Racist.
Question why the Notting Hill Carnival continues to be allowed despite rampant criminality and the need for 7,000 police? Racist.
Etc, etc, etc.
Racism's descent into a meaningless blanket term has been part of a very deliberate strategy to avoid the asking of awkward questions about race.
It wasn't c*nt actually. It was tw*t :)
70 years ago it wasnt racism because we didnt know what that was. We were just suspicious of foreigners and darkies because we didnt know anything about them.
That excuse hasnt been valid for a hell of a long time. At it's root, if you are disliking people because of where they are from, regardless of what they are like and before you bother to find out, you are a bit of a dickhead in my eyes and it is going to invalidate anything else you have to say. Unless you are joking of course.... then it might be funny :)
I am aware that someone is about to say that I hate women but that is different. I know what they are like, all of them :(
Oh, they're still nationalist, anti-immigration, anti-Schengen and none too keen on the bumders, so don't go away with the idea that they're the LibDems or anything.
Also, they've got some issue with the Sami. I've no real idea who the Sami are, though. Are they Santa's elves?
What if you live around a bunch of people for years and just decide that you really don't like their habits, culture, ideas, the way they behave and think and would really rather prefer it if you didn't have to put up with them?
Is that racism or just bitter experience?
That's just life, isnt it? I feel that way about pretty much everyone.
On a serious note, I would find it difficult to feel that way about, for instance, an entire nation of people, or everyone who is attached to a particular religion. I have never witnessed a culture, country or faith that is that consistent.
For example, I met a French bloke the other day who was genuinely good company. This reaffirms my faith that one day I will meet an Australian that I can abide.
I have to work with the Chinese, every day. Let's not beat around the bush, they are, in the main, a ****ing pain in the arse and they do some weird stuff that sickens me (sharks fins, tigers etc).
I couldn't actually dislike them. I have met too many that are genuinely decent people and more than a few who are thoroughly admirable.
Easy to say when you've got somewhere else to go, I guess. My wife grew up poor as a young white girl in a predominantly Pakistani part of Bradford. She had no option but to stay, work hard at school and eventually get to university.
Many would probably describe her views of the muslim community in Bradford as racist. However, they are based on her years of bitter experience of living amongst a closed-off, unhygienic, misogynistic, lawless, deeply exclusionist and bigoted culture that regarded her as rather less than human purely by virtue of the fact that she was white, non-muslim and female.
So, when all your experiences of an ethnic group tell you they're cùnts, is it racist to think that maybe - just maybe - they are cùnts?
There is a Pakistani waiter in a Bangladeshi restaurant near here.
He has hair that would make Mikel Arteta's look like Brian May's.
Such an immobile, lustrous, nylon quality to it.
He seems like a nice bloke.
Not sure about the rest of em. Either in Pakistan or the restaurant.
It kind of depends. For example, if we were looking at importing half a million people from a lost amazonian tribe who had never met other humans before it would be reasonable to raise concerns about their ability to integrate.
If you objected to people from Trinidad coming because you don't like blacks then it would probably be considered racist (and quite ignorant, given the size of their asian population).
In the middle ground, it kind of depends what your objection is. If it is integration, it is probably legitimate. If it is sheer numbers and concentration, the same. If it is religion, its questionable and if it is purely skin colour, and nothing else, then its racist.
THe problem is your objection is likely to be a mix of different issues. Its best to just put up with it and trust your government to make the right decisions. :)
The word 'all' is doing a lot of work there. It would of course be absurd to say that all pakistanis are cùnts. However, it is quite reasonable to say that, based on your experience and those you have met over years of exposure to them, pakistanis are generally cùnts and that - from that - you have extrapolated a generally negative opinion of them as a whole.
You raise a good point here. Food is a great way for cultures to integrate and appreciate each other.
The problem with your proper muslim is that they have rocked up in a country that is built on pub culture. If you dont have a beer, nobody is going to trust you or take you seriously.
How about sticking with the facts? She ****ing hates the Pakistani community in Bradford and for bloody good reason. As you know, I could show you both a very different type of pakistani community that I doubt she would hate.
If you are able to recognise that possibility then you are at least open to an experience that would question your current feelings towards them. I think that is probably fair enough.
