"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important." - Bertrand Russell

I feel I have to write about political stuffs, or perhaps even join a political party. If I think it make the world a better places, I’m going crazy?

Seriously do other countries worry about who other people sees the country, or is that a Swedish thing? One can read quite a lot of articles about Sverigebilden, The view of Sweden, here. The article I recently read said that most foreigners has a positive view of Sweden. That’s increase if they have visit the country or comes from a country close. Almost all who have a negative view of Sweden has it because of immigration. With the troll armies, I think that might be a growing phenomenon.

The grotesque thing the trolls say are lies. Like when Peter Sweden (who may have been doxxed as a norweigan living in UK) tweeted that the Swedish government had voted against a law forbidding child marriages. In reallity, child marriages has been against the law for like 100 years. The thing that’s happening right now is they try to tighten the law against child marriages and apparently that’s complicated by the fact Spain and Austria let 16 year old marry. Another example, a study from this year showed that 75 % of young Swedes are non-religious. Anyone tweeting this will be a Muslim country within 10 years are obviusly full of shit.

However other claims from the trolls might be true. For example in my part of town we had one Afghan asylum seeker who was arrested for two attemted rapes and one aggravated assault. That sucks. (If he is giulty, attempted rape and aggravated assault likely means prison and deportation, so he’s not our problem anymore.)
