You know how it is. I say that nationalism can be destructive and that we like every other country have problems. Then the so called president Trump, verbally attacks Sweden. So now I’m so nationalistic I almost thought about getting a tattoo of murdered Swedish prime minister Olof Palme. You may have a majority of white americans on your side, Olof Palme had the fucking world on his side (at least I’m going to pretend that).
“History provides many examples of democracy crushed by people who said to be the champion of ’genuine democracy’ and ‘the people's real meaning’. The realization about this may lead us to a defence position that conceals that democracy is an extraordinarily demanding way of rule. It must constantly find new ways to revitalize, to reach out to people and make them active. Dictatorships offers a machinery of obedience, closed and externally well-oiled. Democracy is based on fairness, openness and pulsating life. Therefore it must constantly be won again.”

Ok, really I have some deadlines and some things with bureaucracy to take care of, that’s why I don’t write anything else now.
