Another aspect of this is that most of the guys "on the floor" are immigrants, but rarely any manager, bosses or mid-level-managers or office staff. So low-level workers also have this "leverage" towards their managers. If the manager tell you to do X, the manager is racist...

Ok, so we mostly agree. The reason I named this thread "Bitching..." is to spotlight that conversations like these mostly are seen as bitching, and I can agree with that to some degree. I was in part being ironical. But in another perspective, yes it's up to me to take on the new competition. Another problem in sweden is that people don't seem to be able to think, and this leads to mostly bitching. Some might see the problem but can't or won't verbalize it in any meaningful way. I think this must change before any major social change can occur.

I will attempt an answer despite the fact that you still aren't very specific, and also obviously aggressive. What I want to do about immigration in Sweden, currently is to stop it. Continued immigration doesn't solve anything, it only creates more problems. And I also understand that immigration merely is an effect of open borders combined with generous welfare, so more precisely, those are the things to change.

What are you supposed to feel towards those who you sought help from that either made things worse, or just wasted more years of your life? Shit happens? How self deprecating was I to not understand that I didn't get better? How come these "proffesionals" didn't understood or cared that their patient didn't get better? "Well, I'm not getting fired, so I must be doing a great job!" I'm not writing this to fix my past, I just think it's a shame that public healthcare is allowed to fuck peoples lives up en-masse. Bad healthcare is invisible in a bad society. The disregard of human life. Stalin would have done a little cossack-dance out of pure glee. Awareness and knowledge is a direct threat to societies like this. It's not that it's a conspiracy, but rather a herd-mentality. Get well, but not weller than us! Just get well enough to not expose our disregard for you, but not so well that you might expose our narcissism. I find it fascinating to ponder what came first, from an evolutionary perspective; intelligence or narcissism? Does the true self have an evolutionary benefit? Does dissociation have an evolutionary benefit? To me IQ and narcissism seems related, at least some aspects of intelligence. If you think of Buddhism as pioneers of awareness, they do seem naive regarding some peoples potential for malevolence and hypocritical when it comes to science. It's like they want the less aware populace to build and make stuff and to protect them, which kind of paves the way for narcissism. I also believe that narcissism is tied to disgust sensitivity, because you can't negotiate with disgust. It's an immediate response. It becomes the same kind of knee-jerk response as narcissism seem to be. It's a short-term solution with disregard to long-term consequences, like screwing up your kids, and negotiation is one thing that is impossible with narcissists.

Sorry for the late reply, I must have had notifications turned off. Allies in an insane country is good!

Me? About what? Please specify.

There is a similar situation over here. There's quite a bit of shady buisness in the restaurant buisness. They hire unskilled familymembers to do electrical work, they buy very low quality ingredients and also jobs like dishers and waiters are often subsidized by the government. One local restaurant I visited last summer, the waitress didn't even speak swedish. I too am an engineer, and the place I work for now "must" employ a woman because of diversity, because a woman decided to leave.

Immigrants, the few who actually intergrate, take up most low-level jobs. This has not only the obvious economical effects, but it also affects those that for one reason or another can't compete in jobs that require higher education. It affects us in that we now work in a different counrty. I am a minority at my workplace. It's my fault if I don't understand instructions that are given in such a bad swedish that I don't understand what they say. I am racist if I eat lunch with the few who actually are swedish that can, and dare to speak the language. One of my collegues (an immigrant) speaks perfect swedish, but he usually falls into this "broken-the-hood-swedish", the kind of accent to show that you are not of them. He speaking clean swedish is probably offensive to the other immigrants. If I were to move to get a better job, I would live in a different country. I would live in a suburb where few speak my language, and where my culture is seen as offensive. I don't go out to eat anymore, because almost all restaurants are run by immigrants. They demand that you treat them in a certain way, and cheered on by other brainwashed swedes. Being swedish and expecting staff to respect that, on the other hand, is racist. The fact that immigrants take up most low-level jobs is also great in the way that all interfacing, all communication between an individual and a buisness, whether it be a restaurant, a store, bus driver or whatever, all those are occupied by immigrants and serve as a great opportunity for me to submit to the new culture. Also it's a great way of marketing; All interaction is with "the new culture". No white-on-white communication here! No, this paints a beautiful picture of how well integrated the new swedes are. Everybody loves interacting with the new swedes! The immigrants could theoretically return to their home countries. It's funny, because when I listen to my collegues talk, they call one a chinese and another Chilean, but if I do that, I am racist. I have no country to go home to, this used to be my country. One "friend" said that "If you are so worthless that you can't compete with the immigrants, you brought it on yourself." However you twist it, it's all the swedes fault. It's all just bitching about immigration, right?

That's a difficult question to answer in retrospect. In a perfect world one road could have been sufficient, but in reality I think it was necessary to work on my issues from several angles. Many therapists or seminars have a one-size-fits-all approach, consciously or not, and many suffer from megalomania and the belief that they have answer to all issues and it adds an addictive, cult-like element to it. I think an educated and wise male role model (therapist) would have been very beneficial. This is because my father was not, so in one way or another that's what I was looking for. Group therapy or seminars was not ideal, and the social settings was detrimental to making progress.

Angelica Wiktor, 30 years old, committed suicide on 17th of June. She was raped by an immigrant while his friend stood guard. They forced themselves into her apartment. Police investigation has been dropped due to "lack of evidence" and the offenders walk free. She had documented injuries. https://petterssonsblogg.se/2017/06/20/angelica-ar-dod-och-garningsmannen-gar-fria/

I'm wondering how all this will end... There are so many things in Sweden that simply doesn't work anymore.

codec2 is the lowest bitrate around, an open source development for digital HF-radio links. Opus is a fairly new codec suitable for everything from speech to music. Neither is practical to use for most people.

My flaws are many

Glad to see another Swede on here, there is hope
