Theodore Kaczynski, the UNA bomber, passed away recently. He is partly remembered for his philosophical writings, in which he describes humanity as over-socialised, unfree and trapped in the intricate web of industrial society. He himself moved to the wilderness and attempted a life there. Kaczynski is best known for the bombs he sent to selected people in companies and universities   …  

David Charles Grusch, an Afghan war veteran and intelligence officer reveals that US authorities have encountered alien craft and similar objects, and have a number in their custody. He doesn’t say much more than that, there is no hard evidence presented in the form of photographs or the like, nor is it clear whether Grusch has personally seen the objects   …  

Are self-governing regions and municipalities a threat to the idea of nation and empire building? Of course, this objection can be made. The US is an empire, as are the EU and China, states made up of many different provinces and regions, where a central power has influence. I would argue that local government is not necessarily opposed to expansion   …  

Historically, of course, the idea of governing a diverse society with many different ethnicities is nothing new. Romans, Greeks, Ottomans and Habsburgs have tried, and indeed succeeded, in keeping it stable for hundreds of years. It is a kind of oscillation between a strict authoritarian state and looser local self-government. The imperial power rarely interferes in local affairs, partly because   …  

During the week, we were made aware of foreign gangs that have been wreaking havoc at Swedish amusement parks and funfairs; they spit, push their way through queues and threaten little girls. Without the security staff reacting significantly. Probably nothing new, but this time a father had the courage to stand up and tell the story. And there was a   …  

Many of us wonder why the war is dragging on, both those who side with Ukraine and Russia. We see a protracted conflict with no major territorial gains, between partially equal armies, where the Russians have the demographic and economic advantage of being a larger country. And the longer the war continues, the greater the chance that Putin’s men will   …  

Many Swedes have never been attracted to a high-tax society or multiculturalism. They feel cheated and trampled on. And more and more people have changed their minds along the way, moving from being radical to more conservative in their view of society. And now they want to stop the decay and transformation of the country. I would guess that a   …  

When you ask people about the most important elements of democracy, most of them mention the parliament. This is where laws are made, or at least approved, and where political debates are held. Parliament comes from the French parlez, to speak. What other institution could better symbolize democracy? In other countries, people would mention the constitution, which is set up   …  

There are plenty of think tanks that want to unite the world and, in a globalist spirit, create a kind of world government that governs both large and small. The UN is a body that is often used to guide countries in a certain direction. And we Europeans have already begun to experience this supranationality, as most of the laws   …  

Our liberal democratic system is based on a kind of paradox. It derives from the fear that anti-democratic parties will take advantage of free elections, win votes, and then dismantle the democratic system. The only effective way to protect oneself would be to ban anti-democrats. But bans are not compatible with openness and freedom of opinion – which is also   …
