Vox Day has this happit which the left does a lot and i despise when they do it so it would be wrong for me to accept it just becuase i might be inclined to agree at times. He does this name dropping thing where he quotes a person describe how good or bad that person is to provite a fact or opinion presents the fact and then moves on not explainign any of the reasoning. This drives me nuts because we see the left do this all the time (atleasdt here in sweden) they used titles to avoid arguments and their insidious specialty is corrupting people on the right to their cause. It's easy for the left to offer money and a nice job or whatever to one individual in exchange that they peddle the lefts talking points. Even if Vox day isn't dishonest when he does this he leaves himself and any movement he builds wide open to this subversion. We need the the facts to be able to defend ourselves so please please do follow up questions when he does this in the future !

I would really like a show on polling and how and why they are done. Also which have been correct in the past and which haven't but also what a likely voter is, cause that is a nebulous term.

I laughed so hard today when Swedish media reported that tomorrow the Swedish Prime minister Stefan Löfven (social democrat) will be appointed "Impact World Champion Leader" by the UN #HeForShe campaign. His job will be to round up the men and make them do women's bidding i guess. However the title is amazing ! I can't stop laughing when i hear or think of it, it's the one piece of evidence that feminist's have humor creating a title like that! Only found news of this in swedish papers but it'll probably be in more places tomorrow ! Oh and let's just say that the title sounds even stupider to a Swede the PK media is congratulating themselves ofcourse the rest are ROFL:ing presumably! So since the election last september the new government not only has a "Minister of the Future" we now have a PM that's "Impact World Champion Leader" HA HA HA HA Man the left left is just funnier !

Here's a good example why one shouldn't vote!In Sweden (where live) we have something called personal elections that work completely different from the Anglo-saxon world. Instead of there being one candidate for an small area there's a list for a larger area (like Stockholm County) per party. The one crossed the most on the ballot if over a certain limit overrides the order on the list and ends up on top having the highest chance to get elected for that party.However the Nationalist(light) Sverigedemokraterna has trouble filling it's list because of threats to people identifying with them and had only three names on a town list but they got five seats.This is where the system craps itself. The Swedish Resistance Movement which is a Nazi party by another name wrote one of their guys names on 20 Sverigedemokraterna ballot and since he had the most crosses after the three he got in !He did not belogn to this party at all and was not a member of it. Swedish media is going ape over this as i write.The town is one of the smaller in swedenSo i'm glad i didnt' vote anyway! Apparently this problem is worse then i though in northern Sweden a guy was elected with one vote and against his will because someone wanted to stigmatize him with the "Sverigedemokraterna" label.Yay Swedish democracy!

On a fun note!I'm totally going to steal the idea of "disco lights on tits" for a photoshoot :)Just sounded like an epic image with like disco lights toy racing cars and maybe a goldfish bowl down there and the woman pointing at her eyes like you should look up there

Hi my name is Adrian and i live in Sweden i'm 36 years old.I'm probably one of those who where born a libertarian I've always been able to analyze empathize and smell out hypocrisy in the world around me.It took a while to find the ideology though as i was pretty blinded by state propaganda for much of my life. I remember figuring out that socialism was a lie when i was 7 and the teacher talked about how important it was to share etc but got very upset when as a test i wanted to borrow something from her because that was hers and she got angry!I know I've been above average intelligence by quite a bit i did the Mensa test once and didn't get in but i was only 1-2 IQ points off. I just remeber not being able to talk too adults with my normal analytically personality at a young age and having to run everything through a stupidity filter because the Adults would get angry or upset when a child was smarter then them.I was also very very tall so i looked 1-2 years older so i always had to behave like it with strangers around. My mother was an alcoholic where the facade meant everything so she would be upset if i wasn't perfect but with a mother who's alcoholic and plays the blame game all the time i kind of wasn't. I remember she was very proud that everyone though my parents had a perfect marriage up to the divorce when my father left her because of her rage and alcoholism.When i was like 9-10 i objected to her drinking and she got very angry and told me it wasn't my buisness. Since that I've always hidden my thoughts and emotions from her. After the divorce when i was 12-13 i lived one week with each parent ish but after 16 i moved to my father permanently, It sounds crazier then it is but bureaucratically i had to sue my mother to give my father full custody, never had to be in the court though! Other then that i know a lot of history mainly Swedish, i used to have a huge interest about military stuff but that's very much faded (i've never liked taking orders).One of my main hobbies of late is photography (i'm pretty selfish so i like making people feel happy because that makes me happy via proxy)I got too the liberty movement via an article in a swedish newspaper about Rush Limbaugh so i listened to him for a few years ( i've grown up in socialist sweden we had two TV channels and the government tried to suppress satellite technology like north korea). From that i noticed Peter Schiff (i like details) and from that i got to Ron Paul and the Mises institute.From the Mises Institute i Really Liked Walter Block and since he had quarrel with Stefan Molyneux i thought Great more podcasts i can listen to at work :)I've been trying to consciously work on my personality on and off since i was 29 (get rid of bad habits/thoughts) and found Stefan's stuff really helpful in arranging my thoughts.I got on this forum with the hopes of perhaps helping people with a Swedish perspective and add obscure knowledge thereof, it's the comparative advantage of not growing up in the US :)Best wishes to Everyone

I Studied at Stockholm University to become a teacher for a few months.It basically starts with indoctrination where you learn the "right way" to discuss and view education.If that fails the teacher has so little power they are basically forced to teach the same stuff in the entire country because of the "Teaching Plan".It's not as bad in the past as in the 80's east block teachers thought our system was more controlled then theirs! (every child read the same thing in the same books every week across sweden)
