It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

And yet you accuse others of falling for things so easily.
I'm sure the internet is awash with any number of claims that support any number of arguments, but it doesn't make them true does it?
No one ever denied that immigration isn't without its problems, but the problems exist anyway. The Islamic migrants you're so terrified of didn't invent murder, rape, assault, theft and any other crime you seem to think didn't exist before people with dark skin moved to another country.

Re: Trump
http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/21/14682 ... on-economy
Now, though, as we transition into a new and terrifying age, we’re experimenting with an exciting form of macroeconomics: the one man attention economy. To succeed, you only need to grab the attention of one man: Donald Trump.
This isn’t hard, as by most accounts, Trump has the attention span of a toddler. He doesn’t read books. He’s addicted to TV and repeats phrases, word-for-word, that he hears on Fox News. During the presidential debates he preferred not to do prep work, and now, as president, for his intelligence briefings he likes bullet points or “as little as possible.” Trump seems to have no guiding ideology, and this means his opinions — on policy, on people, on pretty much anything — flap back and forth like a flag in the wind. So, if you want to change them, you just have to grab his attention. Even momentarily.
Here are some examples of adaptation to the one man attention economy we’ve seen so far:
- PAC VoteVets bought ad space during MSNBC’s Morning Joe (which the President regularly tweets about) in order to “get in front of his face” and put him “on notice.”
- John Oliver did the same thing, creating ads for morning TV shows in the Washington area in an attempt to educate Trump about the nuclear triad using a catheter-loving cowboy.
- Short-sellers are issuing market reports with lines intended to goad Trump. If he tweets about the companies in question, their stocks will likely fall and the short-sellers will make money.
- Others are cutting out the middle man, and using bots that automatically trade stocks based on a sentiment analysis of the president’s tweets.
- White House insiders have to play the same game, with the NYT reporting that officials have considered “feeding suggested Twitter posts to the president” in order to steer his policy decisions.

Trump is a genius, his whole aim was to get people talking about Sweden, and that is exactly what is happening, the lamesteam media fell into the trap, little did they know they are now highlighting exactly what he wants them to. More people than ever will now do their own googling on Sweden, and read about the unfolding apocalypse there.
Sweden is spending on average $300 a night to house migrants, when you do the math involving how many migrants there are in Sweden now, the cost is staggering, how long can they keep this up for, where is the money coming from?

Edit: That video.....
"Its what happens when women vote sentimentally"
Another credible source you've provided us. Lets abolish womens right to vote as obviously they can't be trusted to vote responsibly.

Why don't you google defoo when you have a moment. The bloke you're sharing with us would appear to be near enough certifiable. While you're at it why not google irony and see what it has to say about an Irish born, Canadian, living in Sweden, who decries immigration.

While he wanks himself off to the attention, all the energy industry people he has surrounded himself with are pushing legislation in his face and handing him a crayon. He has started eating away at the Clean Water Act so mining and oil companies can dump waste directly in waterways. Nice. I mean, who needs clean water?

Rich people don't need public healthcare.....their employers pay for it.
Rich people don't need a pay rise,.....they really do not.
Rich people become obsessed with being rich and it makes them go a bit mental.
Rich people can go a bit mental because of their situation,....or because they were already a bit mental or they come from a mental family of insane megalomaniacs. Research suggests that a lot of our world leaders and entrepreneurs can be considered to be clinically psychopathic. Hence the lack of any sense of altruism. Now I think of it we actively encourage these lads in public school and some of them are proper wankers.
and Rich people are constant targets of some very nasty people even though some of them are decent.
After all the times I've written 'rich people'.....include the words ' politician, financial advisor and accountant'.
That's how modern politics is being operated.
