  • Swede here, absolutely not, around 2015 or so we got hit by the mass migration wave, there were plenty of documented cases of migrants throwing away or destroying their documents to try and claim refugee status when they clearly didn’t need it, thus taking spots from actual refugees.

    There were also real refugees who did this, they registered in Greece, Spain, Italy or other southern Europe country, but then they kept going north, trying to get to a better country. At that point you are no longer a refugee, but an economic migrant.

    I 100% oppose these migrants.

    The dumb thing is that the EU would distribute refugees throughout the union, just because you registered in Spain, didn’t mean you had to stay there, you would stay for an interim period and be distributed to your proper host country.

    I have zero issues with migrants/refugees who come the legal route, learn the language, work, and integrate in the culture.


  • It is especially toxic when it comes to crying, I am man enough yo cry when I need to, that is what I will say to the “men shouldn’t cry” crowd.

    Crying is extremely helpful to clear you mind, get rid of excess emotional energy, and refocus on the task at hand.

    Back in 2022 or so I suffered dual flat feet, dual heel spurs and a bad knee at the same time, I cried openly while dragging myself home from the bus from work every single workday, the crying released tension and energy locked into controlling my emotions, and made it easier to walk, I also blasted Sabaton in my headphones to give me even more energy. And I managed to get home easier than if I had to put the energy to use focising on not crying despite the agony of every step I took.

  • Sigh, I remember watching a documentary about how the Secret Service protected the UN and the heads of state visiting the UN during the early/mid 2000s, this included Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, during a time of high tension between the west and Iran.

    In the documentary, the Secret Service seemed to pride themselves on providing protection even for America’s enemies during the meetings in the UN.

    That world is long gone sadly…



  • It is a propaganda poster aimed at workers, it the worker is saying no to a glass of alcohol, probably moonshine, and the text says the following:

    NEJ

    Valborg är ett borgerligt påhitt.

    Kom inte bakfull till första maj.

    Here is what I believed was the original poster:

    I have now read more about it, and it seems that the poster is a repurposed Soviet anti-alcohol poster from 1954.

    Here is the original Soviet poster:

    I don’t actually know the origin of the Swedish poster, if it actually was used in the past, or if it is a meme created from the original Soviet poster.

    Anyway, the translation of the Swedish version above is:

    NO

    Walpurgis is a bourgeoisie creation.

    Don’t arrive drunk at mayday.
