E-commerce is thriving like never before, with people ordering all sorts of things from various websites around the world. However, small cracks can be seen at the delivery stage. Sometimes I find that shipping costs more than I imagined and becomes a significant part of the purchase itself, and sometimes packages get lost, never arrive, or take a very long … ►
The contradictory society
Today’s political craft is all about doing things wrong. Everyone knows how to make a society work with law, order, reasonable taxes, etc. But, no, you should do everything the other way around. It becomes like a pretend game, which no one really believes in but is forced to play along with. Here are some examples: Lighter sentences for serious … ►
A turnaround in migration policy?
Several European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, have taken strong action against mass immigration. Little Cyprus has expelled 7000 illegal immigrants this year. And in the US, Trump is winning more and more supporters. We are seeing a shift in election results with more voices critical of migration among elected representatives. The media tells us that the far right … ►
The age of delusion and madness
When it was socially beneficial for people to be “norm critical and progressive etc”, society stopped being successful and capable of development. This contemporary mentality is very different from previous mindsets, which helped Sweden develop into one of the most successful countries in the world. Today, it is almost incomprehensible that Swedes contributed to the discovery of 19 elements in … ►
The migration project is unique in its extreme imperfection
Sweden, Germany and other northern European countries are known for being well-organized, where the people and their leaders demonstrate good planning skills and attention to detail. The proof of this is countless successful industrial and infrastructure projects. This ability has contributed to both wealth and high living standards for the individual citizen. European engineers are also working around the world … ►
The potential guilt of Churchill
There has long been talk in academic circles about the possible culpability of the British in the Second World War, that the war became more brutal when British planes started terror-bombing cities in Germany. And this was at the beginning of the war, before all the horrors we know today were unleashed. The British had very few resources in 1940, … ►
Total dissonance
What an extreme time of conflict we are in; everyone realises what is wrong, some want to turn the ship around, but the captain insists on continuing into the storm, just because… Well, who knows? Maybe it’s cognitive dissonance, when the captain refuses to accept the cause of the problem, which should be very clear by now. It’s funny how … ►
The exclusion of citizens from the democratic system
There is a very good article by Dan Ahlmark (in Swedish), which describes how our politicians often sneak through laws because they know that citizens would not like them wholeheartedly. Recent examples are the Swedish accession to NATO and also the Gender Reassignment Act that the Moderate party implemented, without even their own members liking it. In addition, our constitution … ►
Countries where white women can travel safely
I remember a female friend travelling around India a few years ago, she told me about men following her, staring at her and even pleasuring themselves standing some distance away. She and her female travelling companion were a bit shocked, and these incidents were the first things they described when they came back, and then we heard the stories of … ►
Do the Democrats have any more aces up their sleeve?
Although Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris hasn’t done any recent interviews or debates, launched her campaign promises, or even been properly elected in the primaries, she continues to be a media darling. And in the polls, she is on par with Trump. Not bad for a formerly unpopular and reviled vice president. With gossip about relationships with senior Democratic politicians … ►
The Ukraine war and its consequences
The attempts to control and incite Ukraine against its huge neighbour, with the aim of dividing Russia into less manageable chunks, are wrong and dangerous in my view. And I am not in favour of that project, even though I hold the Western flag high. We should leave Russia to its fate, trade with them and be good neighbours. And … ►
