I think there's a few of us here that realize Sweden is in dire straits. I'm pretty sure It's been discussed at least in brief before on this forum. Arguing with Bruce though is less fruitful than attempting to barehandedly move a mountain. It's a path many of us have been down before and aren't willing to go down again. In regards to the topic at hand, in short: Sweden is probably #@(!ed.

They lie about almost everything. Including Hitler. Cui bono? I think you know this.

NY Times spins a hit piece on Trump in regards to his ways with women. Female Interviewee cries foul, and calls out the spin. Orwell rolls in his grave, again, as supposed 4th branch manufactures consent.

You're under the mistaken impression the CIA are the good guys and they are working in your best interests. They're as powerful as they as ever were, and they do their job quite well. It's just that their real job isn't what it's advertised to be.

This is some prank, right? I mean it can;t be real.... Why not? Staged or not (I'm guessing it's not),it's fully plausible. Wacky stuff like this happens all the time, it's just not usually well publicized.

I had to read the introduction of the document itself, as it sounded too bizarre and too tabloid to be true. Yup, it's there. This is the spiritual cancer that i have been talking about. Instead of having programs emphasizing on personal redemption and acceptance that returning to normal life is a sisyphean battle, they instead try to sweep it under the carpet so that the crime itself doesn't sound bad and maybe will wither away. It's denial of reality. It's cowardice fit for betrayers. Betrayers indeed. It's the purposeful undermining of a culture and it's values for the purposes of subjugation and destruction. Only the useful idiots are in denial, those that orchestrate this stuff know full well what they're doing. I suspect you've already seen this, but if not, I recommend it: It's the tip of an iceberg. The world is not as advertised in predominant western media.

Are you actually betting on these odds? If so, please pm me how you're doing it. There's just too much money to be made here if there are actually websites out there taking bets on those ridiculous odds.

Not really. I wouldn't label anyone here as an sjw- the most prominent theoretical sjw is just a self admitted troll. I would. Though the warriors aren't here in any great numbers their supporters have a decent population on this forum. SJWs have affected Obsidian Entertainment. Most obviously here.

When you find you have to say such things, you are very probably talking to a social justice warrior.

Some would settle for being allowed to take a bathroom break. Golden age, no doubt. But for whom? It's been documented that some of the large chicken companies import illegals to work at essentially slave wages in their processing plants. One of the big advantages of having illegals do the work is that the employer can largely ignore various labor laws. 'We Feed the World' 'Food Inc' * 'Future of Food' ** I forget which documentary it was (as I watched them all many years ago now), but one of the above addresses the issue fairly well. All of the above are well worth watching. Also, I don't recommend eating chicken from any of the major companies for a variety of reasons. Find a local farmer who is raises their chickens free range style and doesn't pump them full of all sorts of drugs. Not easy in many places (I have to drive over an hour from where I live myself to get such chicken), but the difference in quality is huge, as might be the difference for your health in the long run.

For the puppets, the phrase 'hubris is blinding' applies. For the puppet masters, an argument could be made that it is exactly what they want.

Oh there's a few answers there, abstract and direct. You apparently just missed them. I suggest you read again, a bit more closely. The direct one at least should jump out at you eventually if the abstract ones do not. The illness is yours if you interpret what i wrote as 'morose and somewhat haughty'.

Of course. There are many, though on different specific levels. However, this is quite an open ended and consequently a somewhat subjective question. If you can't point to a time in western civilization's history where some aspects of it were not better than 2016, I seriously question your credentials as a history teacher, and even just as a presumably conscious person who has spent at least a few decades on the planet. Speaking about western civilization overall though is quite a broad topic. You were the one that said we were in a golden age. A notion I wholeheartedly reject. Doing so doesn't make me some kind of 'Negative Nancy' who doesn't enjoy life as you imply, doing so is just acknowledging reality. You yourself might be in a personal golden age, and if that's true, very good for you, but western society at large is definitely not. While there are indeed bright shiny islands of great goodness out there in the western world in 2016, the overall health of western civilization has possibly never been worse, and it's outlook arguably never bleaker. The failure of some such as yourself to recognize the ailments, and focus only on the good is nothing short of akin to a heroine addict only focusing on the good aspects of their drug and pretending their addiction isn't having a negative affect on their life and may ultimately end it. My guess is you're guilty of what many are, and that's projecting one's life situation, be it good or bad, outward upon the world. That's somewhat natural to a degree, but it is anything but objective. The overall picture aside though, here's a semi humorous yet poignant reflection of some aspects of life in western civilization in a song (written during what I would say were overall better times for western civ ): and here's just a poignant reflection...

You guys just spent about a page attempting to logic Bruce. He is impervious!

One of the problems in our modern secularized culture is that metaphor is lost on so many... Golden age? Arguably in some aspects for some, sure. But that's arguable in almost any era of history. For western civilization or humanity as a whole? Hell no.

Well, as she says, men generally are not allowed to say it. They're deemed sexist, misogynist, etc. And in the case of Dr. Smith's surroundings, news companies generally do not hire real men as their talking heads. Only puppet wussies that tow the line, either on their own because they believe the BS or via sold soul. Hell, at the moment the manliest man I can think of that is a semi mainstream talking head is Milo Yiannopoulos, and he happily refers to himself as something we can't say on this forum due to it being subject to insane PC BS. And that said, one cannot lay any criticism on any 'group' or person deemed to be of a 'group' without being called some kind of hater by many of the masses, unless of course one is in that 'group', but then more oft than not one is called a 'self hating X' or something similar. We are in the opposite of an intellectual renaissance, arguably very well on our way to a new dark age. The good news is that the backlash to all the insanity is growing more all the time, so perhaps there is some hope for humanity at large. The bad news is that the cost on society at large, as well as millions of individuals is quite high and very real. The destruction of the western family and relationships between men and women overall has been devastating (whether that backlash is too late to have a real positive impact, is too soon to tell, though I sadly suspect it may be). Evidence of this is everywhere, though probably most easily pointed to in the birth rates, divorce rates, lack of marriage rates, and welfare rates in the west. 3rd and 4th wave feminism have more than a little to do with this, arguably even some aspects of 1st and 2nd. Of course, a lot of folks like to either stick their head in the sand on all of this, or just plain don't understand it. Those folks would probably say I'm sexist, and that's the end of their thinking. Those folks would gleefully and hypnotically watch Nero fiddle.

Don't? They already did...

Did someone do that here? Not that I'm aware of, though there has been blind support for such a person expressed here.

You not of which you speak sir.

You really should learn yourself some history sir. The Nazis weren't near as bad as you make them out to be. You're better to compare the modern insanity to the Stasi, Cheka, or KGB. It is indeed cultural Marxism we're talking about here. That said, we're in somewhat uncharted territory, as the proliferation of much of the modern insanity you're often justifiably railing against has not ever been so widely plentiful in recorded history. Nor is the ultimate outcome of it's use to undermine a society's culture and ideals known. We've had this stuff degenerating the west now for longer than the Nazis existed. In other words, some of the **** that is going on right now would make even a Nazi cringe.
