I'm fairly certain if Jesus is the same person described in the Bible, he would not be on "your side". 

He would go to the refugees and offer to wash their feet and give them food while you would spite them. 

Wow, I guess my soul is at risk then.

Thankfully you're not a theologian though, Soundwave.

What makes you think I would spite refugees?

By the same logic you'd tell Swedish rape victims how pleased you are.

So you put faith in a theology while really not giving any crap about the meaning of the theology itself. It's just a tribal construct that you ascribe to basically.

Which is pretty consistent with my experience of people who advertise loudly how religious they are. They don't actually give a real crap about the theology itself, just the standard idol worship of it. You want to loudly proclaim your "Christainity" while being nothing like Christ himself. 

I read something like 1/3+ of Swedish women say they are sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. That means there also must be a lot of white men doing raping too, yet I doubt you really care about any of those cases. Do you make asperations about all white men when there's a case of white man raping a woman? It's only when a colored person rapes that it "sound the alarm" time. So really I don't think you give two farts about women who get raped, you just like using it a trigger point for your agenda.

The Merkel and Macron are planning for a tighter knit union just as we speak. EU is constantly working towards increased integration between the members. The unified currency was just one small part to achieve this. The ultimate goal of the EU elite is to remove the governments at the state level, and replace them completely with the EU Parliament.

In parallell with this the UN will probably be the organ which in the future will tie the EU, USA, Japan and whatever else we have then together into a super-state.

The UN has no real power.  It's not a form of government.  The UN is basically there to stop these things from happening.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

That's literally it.  There is no push to become more and more part of the UN.  We are not all going to be part of one giant world wide country.   

It's correct that Swedes are still in majority looked at the country as a whole. But if you look at youngsters in big cities, they're minority. And with our current rate of massive immigration it's only gonna take a couple decades until people under the age of 30 are in massive minority.

Out of 10 million people in Sweden today, 3.5 million have foreign background. Recently our statistics office released a projection that by the mid of this century, Sweden will have 14 million people, from which less than 6 million are ethnic Swedes and most of whom will be old, and there'll be 8 million with foreign background made up of young people. Among children and in the child-bearing age groups, ethnic Swedes will be a tiny minority by then.

People accept immigrants because they have been brainwashed and lied into believing that immigrants actually would have been killed otherwise. Which they wouldn't. The vast majority coming to Sweden are economic migrants, and the few who come from persecution of sorts could instead have fled to a different part of their country, or to a safe haven in neighboring countries. Not a single person had to come to Sweden to save his life.

Your segment about what is considered Christian and un-Christian I will save for another time.

Scientifically and religiously, all people are of one species. You don't know that not a single person did.   You don't know what it's like in their countries.  

I just wanted to show you that social change covers the terms institution and values in a very obvious way. We're going through an enormous cultural revolution that encompasses all levels of society. But you don't seem to be very aware of it, perhaps due to your young age.

"
Literally no one wants to destabilize our institutions and values."

That's such a weird thing to read in light of everything I've witnessed changed socially and when it comes to values and institutions in so many areas, even during the short timespan of the late 80s to 2017, when I've personally been able to follow politics and change in society.

Destabilizing has nothing to do with changes.  The entire history of the world is filled with changes.  Changes in politics, language, lands, people.  The last few decades have been relatively stable by comparison.  

1. But you don't deny that the EU is slowly working towards a super state, the United States of Europe. If the UN won't be the organ for the global government I am sure they will come up with an alternative. There are many thinkers, politicians, visionaries, ideological movements who envision a world government at the end of this century. I also believe that many regular politicians and activists are dreaming about such a thing semi-consciously, in a more vague manner, about the ultimate goal of mankind's utopia. Some people argue that the world's inability to effectively prevent climate change will require a world government of sorts. Socialists on the grassroot level argue and agitate against nation states all the time.

Obviously this project will take several decades, but I can imagine a totally different world in the year 2050 when such plans could start taking form, and it will certainly be easier if nation states have been made powerless by then and all their peoples have been mixed together.

2. Mankind is made up of one species, yes, but it's also divided in multiple races and in ethnic groups based on race, history, language and culture.

3. Actually I do know a lot about the countries where migrants come from.

I do acknowledge that a few thousand people die each year because of war and persecution, atrocities and organized crime. This is fact. And I do acknowledge that the lives of a few thousand people are saved because they are able to flee, to move away from danger. But it's never ever because they came to Sweden.

The tens of thousands fleeing from the war in Syria saved their lives because they moved to another region within Syria or to a neighboring country, often to live in a refugee camp. The 200,000 Syrians that came to Sweden had already saved their lives long before they started their long migration through Turkey, Greece, Makedonia, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Denmark until they finally crossed the border to Sweden. Not the poor ones though, only those with at least $10,000 per person to pay smugglers. Remember also that many Syrians weren't threatened by the war directly, but they saw quality of life falling in a wartorn country and decided to seek a better life in the West.

Same with the 150,000 Iraqis we have accepted. Same story as the Syrians. But only those with at least $10,000 per person to pay smugglers.

The 50,000 Eritreans Sweden accepted fled from being recruited in the Eritrean army. All of these guys also had >$10k to pay smugglers.

The 50,000 Afghan "unaccompanied youth" we let in actually most of them come from Iran. They're all economic migrants who feel they don't have a bright future in Iran as they belong to the despised underclass of Hazars. Again, only those with >$10,000 could come.

The 100,000 somalis we have went through half of Africa before they even reached Southern Europe by boat. Their other options were to move to a safe region in Somalia, to live in a refugee camp within or just outside Somalia and wait until the war is over (which it is now), but they decided they wanted to come to Sweden instead. Not the poor ones though, only those with at least $10,000 per person to pay smugglers.

These are just the largest migrant groups here, but in summary:

* not a single person fled for his life when they entered Sweden

* they're all here instead of a UN sanctioned refugee camp, or another part of their home country, like the regular tens of millions of refugees out in the world, because these individuals demanded a better quality of life and had the resources to do so.

If Sweden had a sane immigration policy not a single person should have been allowed to come. Literally 0 migrants. Because it's totally pointless, just a bizarre theatre for some Swedes to show how humane we are. But in reality a theatre that is very destructive and negative for Sweden and the original Swedes due to the enormous costs and social consequences, de facto completely transforming the nature of Sweden into something else.

4. To destabilize is a form of change, so you're semantically wrong here. It's funny though, you're using one of the most common arguments that are used to silence people who are sceptical towards immigration here in Sweden. "Oh, but the change!", "Society has always changed", "Migration has always been a part of mankind", "Don't resist change", "People are just afraid of change" (a classic).

As if that was an argument for anything!

Those are really unintellectual arguments, it's really scraping from the bottom, and should be seen as really offensive for any intellectually honest person. My blood gets boiling. That I'm forced to live in such an anti-intellectual society.

Basically:

These aren't particularily intellectual pillars, they are part of the primitive human mind. Our cousins, the chimpanzees, operate on this logic too. It's nothing special, requiring any particular rational intellectual thought. We think we're so smart and different.

Actually it's morally wrong to accept any migrants into Sweden because those resources would be so much better used elsewhere, closer to the area of crisis!

The ratio is somewhere around 10:1 and 20:1 when it's measured in economic cost, even if you go by numbers published in fake media. But the de facto ratio is much higher. For each refugee who has dragged himself to Northern Europe society could help at dozens and dozens of people on-site. The yearly cost of immigration is $20-30 billion to Sweden according to conservative estimates (our nation's total GDP is $500 billion), and we accept roughly 100,000 third world migrants each year. As a comparison, UNHCR's budget is only $5-6 billion to assist tens of millions of refugees in the world.

The UNHCR refugee program is chronically underfinanced and they're repeatedly crying out to the world community asking for more resources, and yet Western countries ignore it and have the stomach to put ten times more money into this migration farce. A bizarre farce where people are dragged from half across the world to receive Western standard of living, where you have to employ all this staff of social workers, administrators, interpreters, security, lawyers etc to run this carousel (not to speak of the more indirect social and economical consequences with strain on infrastructure, police force, schools, healthcare, increased domestic crime etc). Usually under the pretence of a web of lies. 90% of arrivals have dropped their Identification papers, many lie about their age, their origin and obviously about the circumstances that would grant them asylum.

And on top of all this, the knowledge that it's practically only the strong and resourceful people who are able to come all the way to Europe and Sweden. The weak, poor and truly suffering are left behind. That's such irony. Pure black comedy.

So it's all a big joke.

Guys, let us put the migrant discussion to rest. This thread is about CNN and the Russia narrative, so get back on topic.

I'm saying don't delude yourself into thinking you're being intellectual here. A chimpanzee would have no frame of reference for things like art, technology, science etc., but they would understand the concept of being afraid of/hating "other tribes" 100%, lol. They totally get that. We are very much alike with them (sadly) in this regard. 

That's a basic, primitive line of reasoning at its core, you can put all the lipstick on that pig you want, it's still a pig. 



So in the meantime Van Jones admitted it as well, calling the entire Russia story a nothing burger. I personally am appalled by the pure amount of comedy/jokester attitude he had when he said it. It showed me he knew exactly what he was doing and how it was tearing the country apart, but it didn't matter. It seems as though CNN's credibility at this point is far lower than it ever has been before. It's bad when I honestly think the National Enquirer is more honest than CNN at this point.

Trump lied for 2 years about Obama's birth certificate story. Was there a thread here about that? And then he lied about giving money to charity if Obama produced his birth certificate. 

This is a legitimate investigation, they never were going to find anything conclusive, Russia is not dumb enough to do anything that could be easily traced back to them. It was always going to be circumstantial stuff at best, Russia is not stupid to leave a smoking gun lying around.  

The fact is Trump had many pro-Russian cabinet choices, people were right to ask questions. If Clinton's internal staff were all choices who had worked for Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabian hackers were hacking into Trump's emails and trying to get him to lose the election, you don't think that would warrant an investigation? 

Also that Van Jones comment is taken out of context, he just wrote an editorial on what he meant. He meant not that there isn't anything to the Russia Trump stuff, just that Democrats shouldn't be fixated on that and should focus on their own agenda.

Are you seriously going to ignore that basically 1 in 2 threads in this discussion are anti-Trump? As far as my time on this website I've only seen Trump been covered in a fairly negative way all over. This is honestly the second thread I feel I could have a discussion with being called a racist sexist biggot. So keep complaining about a point that doesn't exist. What's next, are you gonna bash the media for covering Hillary Clinton unfairly?

Secondly, there is no evidence. Since the logic in this country is innocent until proven guilty and there's absolutely nothing after 8 months of looking, what is there to find? The media themselves have said even if there was anything, it would have been leaked by now. Wouldn't the Russians want Hillary to win? After all, their economy flourished when Obama was in charge and Hillary had already shown her incompetence in giving the Russian government tons of uranium for their military. Why then would they want to elect someone who promotes putting America first and not the world first, seems to me they would have more to gain in the world approach.

There are too many flaws of logic and no proof to where I don't even know why people continue to present this. Just because they're looking into doesn't mean there's anything to it.
