A very interesting video! I totally agree. I want a modern Bob Dole to take over the Republican party. Maybee Kinzinger or Steslow? But that'll not happen as long as the base isn't listening to facts. Politicians should not argue with science. They should argue about the solutions.

Question could you do a reactor video to ijustwanttobecool?

covid without any countermeasures would've killed at least 20 million americans. In a year. Even Trump managed to save a lot of people, by not standing in the way of the people actually saving others. Trump didn't give a fuck, if i he had cared he would be the president, elected with a landslide. Covid really would've been his trump card but he just.. does not care.

I'm a swed and I like it. By the way, what part of Sweden do you live in?? 🙂

It's a big differences between social democracy and democratic socalist. Another aspekt we are royalist and christian but compare a swedes christian believes with USA is really hard.

In sweden we have a Demukratur. So the Socialists bind you to benefits, To work and make money is not the way. The Socialists want you to depend on the state.

​@@broderperduraboDo more research on socialism

Come on over and please help us maintain it. Too many of our swedish leaders are trying to remove and scale back our social structures and move towards American culture and ways of thinking in order for the rich to get richer.

Then get the hell out

It kind of is a misconception and kind of not. The Social democrats actually were democratic socialists until the neoliberal wave in the 80s. During the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s they tried to begin to socialize Swedish corporations trough Löntagarfonder (Employee funds). The original proposal from LO economist Rudolf Meidner was that workers would own 20% of the corporations they worked for trough Löntagarfonderna. The proposal met such massive opposition from large and even small companies that the Social democrats watered down the proposal until the workers would own 1%. But the ideology and will for socialism was genuinely there. The thought in LO and in the Social Democratic party was that the employee funds would be the beginning, a road to socialism. This was the plan until the neoliberal wave with its massive opposition to socialism and social democracy, and the tragic murder of Swedish Social democratic prime minister Olof Palme. There is no doubt that the Social democrats are not democratic socialists today though. It is even debatable if they even are Social democrats.

@@marcusappelberg369 Absolutely, thank you for clarifying that as I hadn't. I was referring to modern social democracy and SAP.

@@marcusappelberg369 Interesting try the Swedes did back then - but as you say it didnt go well - anybody knows why? The idea maybe wasnt that stupid. We have in Sweden and Norway Cooperatives that are still going well - farmers and foodshops here in Norway and foodshops in Swedes as far as I know - owned by members where you get out some profit every year. And also in the housing market .

@@kvalvagnes It didn't "work" simply because of the massive opposition from corporations, the right wing and even small companies that bought into the spin of the right wing. So they never really tried the idea seriously.

You are wrong my friend. (In the sense that you don't take into consideration the meaning from an American perspective.) The American meaning translated to a Swedish word would be "blandekonomi", at least if you talk to progressive in the United States. Generally speaking, however, in America, ANYTHING that the state does on the people's behalf (finances by taxes) is considered to be democratic socialism (if we are lucky) or even worst, communism if the audience is conservative. In other words; I do agree with your interpretation if we use the meaning in the rest of the world, but we need to understand that he might want to change hearts and minds in the USA and therefore uses their vocabulary. It's pretty easy; We need to understand who he addressing, right?! To me, it is conservative people in America as well as anybody else who agrees with him on this issue from the rest of the world. The lather group understands what he is saying even if he uses the words and meaning of the words in America. We have to understand that the group he addresses, the conservative, this particular group needs to relearn about Sweden in small steps - The first step might be to understand that we ain't the Venecuelian "socialistic dictatorship that they are told by Fox News and other right-wing media groups, right?! (The next one might be to relearn socialism in a different form in the way that you explain it) Small steps my friend, small steps! 👍

There are homeless people everywhere, some people simply refuse to follow the social norms of wanting to work for things (All the drug and alcohol abuse that most have aside). The more you take away that incentive the more people will feel the drive to not work and the massive amount of people defrauding food stamps and Welfare in the US is a good example. They are there to be a supplement during hard times, not a free pass to live off of.

@@SilvaDreams So you take on homelessness is that people WANT to live on streets. Wow that is another level of stupid.

@@bf2840 You would actually be amazed. I have been homeless twice and most simply don't want to work for their basic needs, they want you to give them everything. BUT I have known a few who simply don't want the responsibilities of having a home or the daily grind but they weren't the ones you'd see constantly begging for hand outs either, they were kind of the modern day hobo and moved around and worked odd jobs for money.

@@SilvaDreams Typical ignorant conservative belief. You too need to move abroad to expand your mind.

@@Dominique03 Welcome to reality, I've lived it and been homeless twice in my life time. Those who truly don't want to be homeless can and will work their ass off to not be so and get away from the conditions that put them in that place.

Absolutely true. Personally one of the biggest things that have grown me as a human, have been traveling.

I have thought about this as well and I feel like the right party in Sweden have started to shift to this type of thinking (and people in general). It is scary and I think it is clear that a change has started and I am worried about Sweden’s future. Im sure this sounds absurd to a lot of Swedes, but during my, somewhat short life time, I have seen a change, from progressiv to very regressive and hateful thinking and attitudes. The 1930s Germany didnt have the internet, but we now have, and it influences people so much.. I fear what the futures hold.

@Sixgunner dot org I think you can still be heavily criticized while being LGBT, just not for. everyone should be able to criticize everyone for their opinions and trains of thought, such as political and ideological reasons, but not for being things that cannot fully change, like because of chronic diseases, of different ethnicity or LGBT. There is a difference between criticized for and while being. Also EVERYONE deals in propaganda. The left, the centre, the right. Anyone expressing opinions in a convincing way is propaganda, so absolutely EVERYONE. Btw gays are heavily discriminated against in the US south instead of being treated equal as they should. Not privileged. TLDR; Opinions are changeable and should ALWAYS be criticized unlike unchangeable traits such as being gay. All sides use propaganda and everyone (including you and probably me) is biased. It all depends on geographic location, but being gay is frowned upon in certain areas, especially by conservatives. I respect your opinion if it does not discriminate against anyone. (also you are a little late on this thread, it was 2 months ago)

​@Sixgunner dot org 1st of all, I am LGBT, can take a joke and constructive criticism, and it is quite simple for your last question, I simply put in "Same sex marriage support in the US map" into google and looked at a bunch of maps. While the situation is improving, the maps are almost unanimous at the fact that the states Alabama and Mississippi are majorly against having gay marriage be supported. Everyone should be criticized regardless of race or sexual orientation, and the fact that you ae challenging liberals for having a double standard is good, one flaw of liberalism is them not knowing that they can be a part of the problem, as I assume you are trying to say. The only thing is all ideologies have flaws, including socialism and conservatism too, and it is good to understand that. Just keep in mind that there are extremists that are truly horrible people in the republican party when it comes down to equal rights.

@@doth8600 In todays Republican party, they do not care about gays at all.. They do care about how the democrats(lieft/liberals) view the Trans issue, where they think it is a good idea to castrate boys before puberty just because they say they are female. There are so many issues with that, not to mention that most ppl who are trans realize they are really gay instead when they pass 18-20 years old.

@@nkari8971 I said it was correlation, not causation. I do agree with you on that point though.

Just want to say that you are more than welcome to move here.😃 Sure, as a lot of things in life there are some good and some bad things with everything. Sweden have its “problems” but looking at what’s going on in the US I’m sooo glad I live I Sweden. I have 6 weeks of every year. My daughter have had to have a lot of health care through here life and will continue to have and well… can’t even imagine what that would cost in the US. Can’t understand why Americans seems to be so “afraid” of public health care? It’s not like we are “controlled” by the government or anything. Sure, we pay more in tax but the “security” that brings, especially when it comes to health care, is very healthy cause we all know that we will be taken care of if one become sick. Sure, it’s not “fantastic” but it’s there when you need it. So again, your welcome when it’s the right time in your life.

External factors that are beyond your control, like loosing your job in mass layoffs or other unstable people in society wielding high caliber weapons introduces uncertainty or the sense of a lack of control. Absence of (or less severe occurrences of) threats like those means it’s easier to maintain a sense of control and regain footing. Now the US is tricky of course when it comes to guns, since the society is already saturated and you kind of need one for the mere fact that everyone else has one.

Basically my basic point of view. Thank you! And also, no matter what sort of society we chose to build, there will always be those who simply don't fit in at all. We will need to figure out how to keep them happy enough not to ruin everything for everyone else. This mindset is what benefits the vast majority, and is hence in reality a political non issue. Which ofc does not mean that there will not be a ton of people rethorically questioning it. But still, what's best for the most is the common denominator for all political parties no matter what ideology. What differs is how they percieve it should be accomplished.

My gf made it.

Yes! Thank you!

A "capitalist" system that taxes the shit out of the poor, in order to make them dependent on the state subsidies and to feed the ever growing political class that teaches us the only "correct" political ideas from "kindergarten" and up. If you have other ideas, you are satan. That's no democracy.

More than 60% of the electricity bill is pure taxes (that you have to pay with what's left of your already double taxed income), the bensin/gas price is 70% pure taxes, and so on.

You are conflating two separate things. The "warm period" was about a thousand years ago and ended in the middle ages. Caused by the tilt of the Earth and somewhat closer orbit to the sun and it is a natural occuring event, yes. But. Global warming on the other hand is caused by increased emissions of green house gases that are trapping heat within the atmosphere.. As it is now. We are seeing high temperatures never before recorded in history. And that can only be explained by global warming. There is already scientific concensus about this. Which means that the scientific community is in agreement about global warming and that humans are causing it. So there is no debate. Other than stupid people not wanting to believe evidence.

@@swedishmetalbear it wasn't caused by the tilt of the earth, but increased solar activity and less volcanic activity. I don't deny anything, science is very political though. I just don't think there is any reason to panic or to believe that earth will be too late to save by 2030, like your prophet Greta says. UN has been saying we've got 10 years left since the 70's. Scientists 100 years ago claimed indigenous people were less intelligent, and they had evidence to support it. A healthy bit of scepticism towards science is good.

@@Aeneiden You've googled it I see. But you haven't read the scientific papers about it. Warmer climates in the past correlate directly with solar orbital progression. And you left out the bit where it says " Moreover, we clearly know the cause of this natural warming, and we know without doubt that this proven "astronomical" climate forcing mechanism cannot be responsible for the warming over the last 10 years" Our prophet Greta? She is just stating the obvious.. It may already be too late to do much about Global Warming. Science is not political in fact it is the opposite, because if it were political it would back your claims wouldn't it? A lot of what you are claiming anyway is standard Republican anti-intellectual propaganda.

Here is my Expat in Sweden perspective. There are less "free loaders" in the US, however it is easier to not be a "free loader" in Sweden. Jobs in Sweden are not as toxic, there is less unpaid overtime and wage theft. Once someone has worked for three months at a job there is much more job security than in the US. Child care is available and more organised. For single parents there is a strong social service to help. Every job, including part time includes vacation and disablity benefits. There are not any tax loop hole benefits to employers for offering only part time work like Walmart does, since they have to pay the social tax benefits. When my husband started a consultant agency, we didn't worry about losing health insurance, and there was far less risk of going bankrupt than in the US. There are people that take advantage of they system, but there are less companies that take advantage of workers and the tax system. Sweden also has a much smaller percent of the budget going to "protecting" foreign interests with the military.
