Bjorn is a Stalinist?

[heydaralon]

The Danish Museum of the proliteriate that Bjorn works at probably shows images from the Great Depression and tells its citizens that is current America.


I made the comparison with North Korea, and it really isn't that far off.


In Denmark they tax you for standing on the street corner while waiting in a bread line.


Socially they are also a lot like Marxists clones, so I don't how Bjorn's criticism of us not knowing our place makes sense. Americans discuss politics all the time and can be quite restless. Observe Minneanapolis atm. Americans believe too much of the governments' lies, but we can be an unruly bunch. In Denmark, discussing anything controversial is un Hygge (Danish Juche) and thus verboten. They don't discuss politics and they all agree on everything and eat nasty foods at their bullshit summer camps while waving their silly little flags.

They also have these stupid cultural festivals where everyone sings in the gay man's choir. It really is baffling to me.

That may be your postmodernist, personalized definition of egalitarianism. In the world outside your safe space bubble, what you actually described in your post was the definition of collectivism. Not egalitarianism. From Merriam-Webster:

1: a belief in human equality especially with respect to social, political, and economic affairs
2: a social philosophy advocating the removal of inequalities among people

Depicted: Me "making up" Bjorn's cited definition of egalitarianism.

Like I said, I'd be mad too.
Furious.
So we understand your continued raging. Hurts, don't it ... to dumb your self that hard, publicly.
Put some ice on it.

You’re the one who incessantly talks about America; I don’t even know where you live, nor do I care; but I’m sure I passed through at least a couple times on my many trips while writing 3 travel books, and as a Travel writer for iPhone Life magazine.

And despite "not caring", even admitting you don't know anything about my country or many other countries, you feel secure in claiming that all other countries don't know liberty? "I don't know anything about other countries and don't want to!" followed by "All other countries don't have our liberty". You don't see the logical inconsistancy there?

I lived outside the U.S. for 5 years: England, Africa, South America, Caribbean. Been to 120 countries. I’ve been writing about their politics for over a decade. Now you...

I've never visited Denmark, but I don't have to smell shit to know it stinks...


I've never been to Nazi Germany either, but Nazi Germany has been to you.

DB, Egalitarianism is not an ideology, you ass. To advocate egalitarianism doesn't mean you buy some sort of "ideological package", where if you advocate egalitarinism of law and opportunity, you have to buy equality of income, too. Is this concept too "deep" for you?

So yes, you were still making shit up.

Lol, you've "been writing about their politics" for a decade. Good for you, I've been writing about US politics for two decades. You honestly think you just presented some sort of credentials, there?

It absolutely is an ideology. IT was the default ideology for billions of people for the 20th century well and over a billion today in China. It was and is called Marxism


Shit, the proto Marxist French Revolution had Egality in their creed.

Or did they not teach you that in communist university?

Egalitarian is the opposite of American-style liberty, where people are NOT equal. Liberty is making decisions for yourself, and reaping the benefits or suffering the consequences of your actions.

The fact that you don’t know this makes my point.

Accusations of Marxism by people like you, should be taken with the excat same seriousness and gravitas as accusations of "Rayciss!" and "Sexiss!". You have absolutely no idea what that word means anymore, and I take that bullshit accusation as the excat same as the accusation of some purple-haired SJW who paints everything as being evidence of racist/sexist oppression. I'm too fucking smart to take that seriously.

"Egality" is simply equality, HD. Do you consider equality before the law, Marxist? A slippery slope towards Soviet-style gulags?

You can lead a watered-down, soy-riddled Dane to the beer keg of truth, but you can't make him drink.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(The Danes of 1000AD knew how to drink tho)
