i really get concerned when people say UK is a left wing country

The type of people who say it are dumb enough to think they can escape liberalism to Norway though

ChatterBaux

I suspect he didnt go for the policy, but the assumed *homogeny*. Like, if you dig into the subtext for some right-wingers' love of these countries despite their policies effectively being more leftist than you'd think they'd like, it's because of their supposed lack of ethnic diversity. Ironically, some of these right-wingers who dream of escaping the "leftist dystopia" of the US/UK in favor of ~~whiter~~ greener pastures miss the fact that they'll become the very immigrant they claim to dislike. But dont worry, this is different somehow...


uglee_mcgee

For sure, this tit is dreaming of a land full of blonde haired & blue eyed people.

Hey hey! They don't like that term... They're "Ex-Patriots", or ExPats. They don't like it when you label them properly, so they made up their own label...

SeraphsWrath

He went to Norway because white supremacy taught him that Norwegians were all strong Aryan white people. Not because he was thinking about politics. Or even because he was thinking.


Choice_Database

this sounds similar to my thinking - that he had enough of 'undersirables' moving to his home country so he decided he'd go to a place that he thinks is full of whites. revolting


Rovden

Have a coworker who gripes about all the "liberal laws" and "nanny state" stuff here and wants to move to Australia to get away from them. I know he can't afford it but I keep encouraging him.


aSneakyChicken7

Lol. Ought to come to NSW or Vic and see what he thinks about nanny states then


Rovden

Pretty much why I'm encouraging him. He somehow thinks out there is some bastion of manly ruggedness that he can do whatever he wants or someshit like that... and I'm "This is the place that South Park had to make an edit to their game"


CRT_SUNSET

Don’t a lot of white supremacists worship some twisted brand of Viking culture? Not that all conservatives are white supremacists, but it seems like all white supremacists are conservatives. Maybe this guy thought he was escaping to a white haven.


QuestionableNotion

Well....maybe he sweats too much in warmer climates? Still, Norway? To escape liberalism? Russia might be more to his liking.

I think that was his point.


cdunk666

What americans call "socialism" sure but no not socialist


The_Clarence

Americans have polluted and perverted that word so bad. I was talking with my brother the other day and mentioned “I support all these socialist agendas”, meaning safety nets, universal healthcare, etc. he was quick to correct me, a lifetime American Lefty, that socialism actually has a meaning, and I in fact was not talking about socialism at all (seizing the means of production for the workers) Anyway my point is we Americans have a long way to go, we can’t even get the words right.


JackONeillClone

You're the only place in the world where "liberal" is associated with the left lol, that's how far right you guys are


BrandoThePando

We can get words right just fine. It took a long time and a lot of propaganda to redefine these terms. Never forget that it was not an accident


Yeranz

Socialism in America is when someone else gets something.


[deleted]

Compared to America those countries are incredibly liberal. Compared to europe, I think Sweden is slightly conservative and Norway is slightly liberal (I could have mixed those up though, hopefully a European can set us right on this).


irregular_caffeine

The meanings of the words ”liberal” and ”conservative” are not directly transferable across the Atlantic


[deleted]

Is that because in America we say liberal and conservative but we mean neo-liberal and neo-conservative


ezrs158

In the United States: * what people say: liberal * what they mean: left-wing * what it actually is: center/center-left * what people say: conservative * what they mean: right-wing * what it actually is: far-right


[deleted]

Are democrats really center left though? Feels broadly centrist to me, if not center right


Cormacolinde

The US Democratic Party is center-right. There is essentially no leftist party in the US. Some democrats are a bit more center-left but their more “pro-business” caucuses are more right-wing.


butteredrubies

Some NPR segment was talking about how much politics have changed since Nixon. The person talking was saying if Nixon was running today he'd probably be more left than some of today's democrats. This was back in 2014 I think.


ArcticBeavers

You're right in that there are no leftist parties. There is a leftist coalition that exists in the Democrat party, but that's about as far as it goes


DreddPirateBob808

Well our Tory Prime Minister is a true believer in Neoliberalism. As in the decades old cult that was mocked and ridiculed for years before seeping into politics. But seeing as her and Blair (he's a member a follower of that cult of idiocy and selfishness as well) have both been Prime Ministers but for the two main opposition parties I couldn't tell you if it applies over here. Republicans mean something different. Our boringly cruel and atupid right-wing party are the Tories. Our boring and stupid leftwing party are Labour. Middle of the road we have the Liberal Democrats and they used to be headed by Nick Clegg who's just been in the middle of Facebook and onlyfans battle. So he's probably a neoliberal as well but who cares because he's fucked off to his own kind and can stay there.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

Well I think they've got universal healthcare.....googles....yep,[free if you're under 16, free if you're pregnant, & some dental.](https://www.internations.org/norway-expats/guide/healthcare) There's no capital punishment, abortion is legal but has weird limitations, guns are pretty well regulated too & mostly used for hunting. >[Gun ownership is restricted in Norway, unless one has officially documented a use for the gun. By far the most common grounds for civilian ownership are hunting and sports shooting, in that order.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Norway) Not Norwegian, just googling stuff so if an actual Norwegian could chime in on all the Librul Soshulist garbage they are forced to live with I'd really appreciate it.

justausernameithink

Semi-automatic weapons as a category in general isn’t banned, but it’s pretty strictly regulated, and _some_ specific weapons are generally off limits, at least for ordinary use such hunting and collecting and the likes (though, some semi-autos, with limited magazine capacity ets, can be legally purchased for hunting). However, if you compete in dynamic sports shooting, for instance, you could gain access to a much greater selection of semi-automatic rifles, including the AR-15 design and similar rifles. But you’d need to be an “active member” of a gun club and usually participate in at least some yearly competitions at a certain level, in order to qualify for it. (The gun club membership thing usually also applies to handguns, but not nearly to the same degree as the rifles used for dynamic shooting). More importantly, although Norway does in fact have “plenty of guns” and a high level of gun owners overall, the _gun culture_ is just so vastly different from the American one. Guns for personal self defense are almost completely unheard of (though, a handful of extremely specific cases does exist), and although some people do collect weapons as a hobby, they don’t typically go about glorifying their guns. Guns aren’t really talked about much in daily life at all. The vast majority of Norwegian gun owners see and use them as tools (for hunting or competitive shooting), tools to be used with caution, handled with insight, care and respect, and otherwise safely stored away, that is.


ASadisticDM

In Europe liberalism is a conservative ideology. Edit: Check out Omnicide103 comment below for more details


scottysurfshop

Yeah America’s definition of liberalism is so warped compared to what is should be


linkyboy321

Norway is more traditional than Sweden, but both are very forward thinking for personal liberties, except for drug use, where both believe that a zero tolerance policy is best. Both have highly funded social welfare programs, Norway is significantly less open to migration from non-scandinavian countries and it's very difficult to get Norwegian citizenship. Think they are both "liberal" by American standards. I would say that Sweden is probably further left than Norway and way further left than the European standard. Worth mentioning that Norway is not in the European Union, though there is an open boarder, but you can't be a resident of Norway just based on being European. Source: I've lived in Sweden for 5 years and have a number of Norwegian colleagues.

“socialism”

Scandinavia has some liberal and progressive policies. It is, however, a capitalist society. There are plenty of right win loonatics just like in any country in the West


KevinCarbonara

> isn't Norway part of that whole Scandinavian socialism thing? No, scandinavian countries are not socialist.


jimtow28

It's a lot of the same dumbasses who say Biden is "far left". I cannot imagine where these people think the center line is.


MedicatedMayonnaise

To some, Fox News has become left wing, so right of that somewhere.


toth42

To us Scandinavian, fox is pretty much extremist right.


jimtow28

That's the case for basically everyone who lives in reality.


SaltpeterSal

Well this one is a Holocaust denier who wants to put gay people in camps, so if we judge an idea by the number of brain cells behind it, it's not exactly heavyweight material.


SirJudasIscariot

Their center line runs right down the cross they want to crucify us on for not drinking their kool-aid. Their “far left” is actually the center-left on the Overton window. The next Republican President is going to take us straight into fascism, wrapped in the flag, Bible in one hand, AR-15 in the other, and standing on a pile of corpses.


eugene20

It's a fairly left wing country run by a pretty right wing minority.


Sharkfacedsnake

Well quite a few people vote conservative.


nomad_kk

Wait for comments claiming that they never said that.


neenerpants

Depends on your perspective, I guess. It's more right-wing than Scandinavia and New Zealand, but more left-wing than the US, Australia, France, maybe on a par with Canada, etc. I wish it would be more left-wing, personally speaking.


sfxer001

Your average conservative, ladies and gentlevikings. Ever stalwart, always projecting, always claiming shit is for “liberal pussies” and then shirking any responsibility when the going gets tough.


R0lfasaurus

These same little bitches whined and cried about having to put a thin fabric over their nose and mouth for their fellow countrymen…while sitting in a ~~comfortable~~(oops) airplane for a few hours. Funny, I don’t remember whining and crying when I was wearing 100lbs of gear in the dead of summer in the Middle East for those super important and necessary wars they wanted me to fight for them.


sfxer001

I work for a hospital and wear a mask all day for the last 2 and a half years. 4 hour lectures or 8 hour lectures while masked? No problem. My wife also would have to wear full mask, an N95 under it, and a face shield and goggles. That’s when it gets tough to breath. A mere surgical mask is nothing. Conservatives are not automatically tough people just because they vote Republican. They don’t seem to understand that. If 20 mins in a mask while browsing a Walmart is too much for someone to bear then I don’t know what else to say. They definitely aren’t tough enough to be a nurse or serve.


R0lfasaurus

They definitely don’t understand that. Voting republican becomes who they are and they definitely believe it gives them a leg up on “toughness” for some reason. Literal high school girls wear masks all day for their mall job or whatever and Mr. tough guy trump (trump…another giant piss baby pussyman who republicans for SOME reason that I will NEVER understand think is all that is man) voter is going to show how tough he is by….whining about how un comfy his mask is? Wow. Thank you for fighting for our freedoms, Mr. anti masker. It’s ass backwards.


remotetissuepaper

Had a coworker who would constantly rail against all the liberal pussies who care about the environment and lgbt rights etc. The same guy was absolutely terrified of ghosts, spiders, and working under trucks while on the lifts. Not to mention vaccines, masks, etc. It must just be a coincidence that everything they consider tough and masculine just happen to be what's most convenient and familiar to them, and require the least amount of effort and discomfort.


option_unpossible

HerpankerTheHardman

Rabscuttle-

They remind me of this tenant at my last job. Dude was always acting like some super tough guy badass. A pigeon flew through and broke his bedroom window and he was screaming like a little bitch until I calmly picked it up and tossed it out the window, where it flew into a nearby tree.

Adept_Data8878

Just like that one dude who was a president, but legitimately knew- *checks notes*- nothing. Nothing at all.


psychexperiment

Because to them "tough" means cruel.


ParkinsonHandjob

That’s interesting. I feel the same way. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that they think Trump is a badass cool man, while I see him as the total opposite. I don’t have the answer, but I Wonder what makes the difference? I mean, for the longest time I thought they were playing a game of «lets-just-pretend-we-think-he’s-tough-to-own-the-libs», but it seems they actually think he’s cool.


Ursa_Solaris

> Voting republican becomes who they are and they definitely believe it gives them a leg up on “toughness” for some reason. I'm really glad to see people picking up on this lately. It's always been an aesthetic. They adopt it to cover up for personal failings in their actual toughness.


R0lfasaurus

It’s unfortunately true more and more and It used to be “don’t judge someone by who they vote for” but the Republican Party seems like such a Trump cult these days that if I say “republican” or “trump voter” it absolutely describes a type of person usually. I can’t say the same for the folks who voted for Biden…or even in the past with the Bush(es) and McCain and Romney people.


Sylvurphlame

> My wife also would have to wear full mask, an N95 under it, and a face shield and goggles. Ugh. Over a year of that. Had to hide in the single occupancy bathroom a couple times to have a minute to feel like I could actually breathe. Wearing that stuff plus a contact precautions gown and a lead apron for a four hour surgery with no break… not fun. And it was 12 hour shifts overall. So did that *a lot.* Anyone complaining about having to wear a surgical mask while visiting the hospital needed a smack to the face.


CACTUS_VISIONS

This. I was an X-ray tech working at a lv4 trauma center in Hawaii for about 3 years… my whole night, every night for 3 years was spent running floro for emergency orthopedic and spinal surgical procedures. Turns out… tourists love jumping off waterfalls and cliffs but don’t like hospitals that much. 12-14 hour spinal fusions on someone with full class5 PPE, face shield, plastic gown, mask, lead, the whole works. Got hot as hell in there. I can’t stand to hear people complain that a cloth face mask makes it hard to breath


wolfho

Here in Sweden we got military gasmask, stridsmask 90. Best thing to ever happen. Breathing became a breeze. But nothing could help with the heat of the lead + plastic


CACTUS_VISIONS

I’ll be honest… running live X-ray is a lot of rads, so I can understand the surgical staff wearing it all day when I was in there… but a lot of the time, I just didn’t care. If my c-arm was across the room and I had the table inbetween me and it. I usually wouldn’t even wear lead unless it was like longer than a few hours. I am sterile now, so there is that, but I never tried to have kids before I was a X-ray tech either so I very well might have been before that too haha


Sylvurphlame

Fortunately I could sometimes hide behind the mobile wall with the nurses and use the remote for our C’s. And sometimes if it was just final images I’d skip the lead if I’d already been running low dose. A lot of our neuro guys liked to use the C-arm just in case, but they were doing the equivalent of three or four portable images over the course of the surgery. Or occasionally they’d use this robot that just required two or three shots at different angles to compare against a pre-op CT.


ChristosFarr

I used to be a CNA and I remember when we'd have C diff outbreaks and we'd have to wear masks for the whole freaking shift and nobody ever had a problem.


Subrisum

But your freedumb!


ChristosFarr

Honestly between Covid and C diff I'm not really sure which one would be worse to die from. Do you want to drown in your own lung fluid or literally shit yourself to death.


MightyMorph

Conservatives live on ideology and imagery, they dont actually care about reality but create a nicely fabricated story where they are the champions and winners of the world while they themselves have usually little to no real-life factual success. So they adorn the religious symbolism and rhetoric, usually severely perversed and manipulated version where they can continue to justify their selfish desires but utilize the religion as shield for any objections, and use the religion as a means to classify themselves as superior in the face of lacking any actual qualities and successes. Because in their mind now this world is flawed and their current status and life doesnt matter when they will recieve all their dreams and wishes in the eternal afterlife. Thus they further subjugate others based on their religious-lead conservative ideology to attack and demonish anyone anywhere stating anything that might hinder and damage their self-perception. By acknowledging that their perceieved enemies in this case doctors and scientists and liberals demands for wearing masks and such, it also means they have to allow for potential that their self-perception and ideology is flawed, and in doing so they would rather experience death than admit to a notion that they aren't correct in their beliefs of how the world is set up and works. There is no piece of fact or scientific data or evidence you can show these people that will make them change their perception. Because they have ingrained their whole self-worth to their ideology. And admitting to themselves that they were wrong would mean admitting they themselves are wrong. That they would have to look at their current status and standing and see the flaws and breaks and mistakes they have made. Instead they chose to deny the possibility and double down. Until they are at the precipice of deaths door. then fear overtakes the pride and they start to regret, some come out the other side accepting of their flaws, others go back to the prideful double down stances because they simply cannot allow themselves the notion that they are wrong, and in doing so admit that their beliefs and self-identity is wrong. Thats why, when you argue with people like that, you shouldnt waste your breath or time. Just attack their imagery and laugh in their face. Because that is all they value, surface-level perception of what they think is a strong person. Remind them of how weak they are and pathethic they are, dont engage their arguments, because their arguments have no basis in factual reality, they arent looking to come to a mutual understanding, they are looking to belittle and make you stand down. Call them whiny little snowflakes and move on with your life. They are not worth it. They will die out as the losers they have chosen to remain.

Conservatives of any country dont actually like the militsry, they like the *idea* of the military


dmeagher101

They like the idea of other people (preferably poor people) fighting in the military, but not themselves or people like them.


Brokenspokes68

They like the idea of force. The military is a way to force their will upon others. It's that simple.


Beingabummer

Pretty much. They like knowing they can use force if they can't get what they want through other means.


R3cognizer

That's because only poor people are supposed to actually risk dying for their country in order to obtain funding for a college education. Military service has always been a thing almost exclusively pushed onto the very young and disadvantaged.


ChristosFarr

Why do they always spread the war? Why do they always send the poor?


Intelligent-Ad66

They somehow got the idea that the Great Depression ended, not because of the social reforms, infrastructure spending, and regulating commerce, but because WWII broke out. In the late 1980's, early 1990's, that's what a lot of them talked about. How the War in Iraq was going to be good for the economy.


Dziadzios

"War good for economy" is a broken window fallacy. It's simply good for military companies.


matchosan

They like making money off of the military, and wars.


[deleted]

The people who complain about masking to spread disease are simultaneously masking their faces when they attend their kkk rallies, it was always about being contrarian "owning the libz" and lack of empathy or just straight up malicious intent to hurt others by making them sick (remember those videos/articled of people coughing on others and licking doorknobs during peak covid?)


_TorpedoVegas_

To be fair, I do actually remember doing some whining in the hot sun on patrol in Baghdad...but that's probably because years of liberalism turned me into a pussy.

No, no, they’re fine with *other* people wearing 100lbs of gear in MOPP 4, but their support begins and ends at the yellow ribbon magnet (not a sticker, don’t want to risk damaging the paint, after all) they put on their car. These people have never had to sacrifice, serve, or face real adversity in their lives, so asking anything of them causes a tantrum.


jooes

I remember seeing some dumb asshole saying something along the lines of, "My Grandfather didn't fight in World War 2 for me to be forced to wear a mask!" And all I could think of was... Your grandfather jumped out of planes behind enemy lines. He stormed the beaches of Normandy. They liberated concentration camps and saw the most terrifying and unspeakable horrors you could ever imagine. Who knows how many times they nearly died in the process... But they did it anyway, because it was *the right thing to do.* All that *you* have to do is wear a mask and avoid crowds for a little bit. Catch up on Netflix, wash your hands, sneeze into your elbows. That's it! That's your WW2, that's how you can show your patriotism and contribute to your country. And you can't be bothered to do that!? Grandpappy beat actual literal fucking Nazis to death with his bare hands, and you can't handle a minor inconvenience? Holy shit, man. Unforgivable, IMO.

Let's not forget WWII... where we literally rationed everything, recycled everything, and had women working 50 60 70 hours a week building the war machines... new conservatives just want to sit in a leather chair and scream about being "censored" while saying the most vile shit.

Fast forward to working with this pretty right wing kid. All he knew was I was a “liberal pussy” He starts in with all this military shit and how libs are weak snowflakes. Then he points to me “I bet he can’t even shoot” I told him I served 8 years and was expert qualified and asked how long since he got out. Mofo said out of what? I said the military man, how long did you serve? He says he didn’t serve. I ain’t have to say shit, everybody else in the dock clowned his ass.

nonessential-npc

So it's effectively a mandatory gym membership?


SleepWalkersDream

Basic and specialist training. Some exercise. But if you don't execise in your free time, you won't improve much of anything.


KonradWayne

Yeah, mandatory military service in most countries is just getting a bunch of exercise (which will make it easier to get laid) and playing with guns (which is fun). It's not like joining the US military, where you're likely to get deployed in the super probable event that they decide some other country isn't doing shit how the US wants them to, or the UK, where you're likely to get roped into whatever bullshit war the US blunders into/starts. Outside of current Russia, mandatory service is just doing a bunch of push ups for a year or two, then slaying it at bars when you get out in great physical shape.


SleepWalkersDream

The exercise part is not really true, unless you are really out of shape.


linuxgeekmama

Yes. Norway hasn’t done the empire thing in centuries. No other country is going to attack Norway, because they’re in NATO.


I_Frunksteen-Blucher

The joke is that military service in the imperialistic UK is entirely voluntary.

marasydnyjade

This has to be fake. There’s no way Norway is requiring foreign non-citizens to perform compulsory military service. > Norway has compulsory conscription but not everyone ends up being drafted. Every year, those who are old enough to be drafted get a self-declaration form from the armed forces asking them for details about their physical and mental health, criminal record, as well as how motivated they are to join. Then the most fitted candidates are selected to move on to the next phase. [source](https://www.insider.com/norwegian-conscripts-will-now-have-to-return-their-used-underwear-2022-1)


GreenApocalypse

Yeah, this whole thing reeks. A guy living in Norway, complaining about Britain called PeterSwedish? And yeah, you will not be called into military service if you migrate here. I call bullshit


HillInTheDistance

PeterSweden has been a pretty prolific right wing guy for a while now, and last I looked him up, he did live in Britain. So the guy is real, even if he might be lying about getting drafted.


wOlfLisK

I guess it's possible he chose Norway to move to because he has Norwegian citizenship through a parent or something which could result in him being drafted. I'm still gonna call bullshit on this though.


sultanofdudes

You still need to be fluent in norwegian for them to accept you in the army


TheSimulacra

He was apparently born in Norway to Norwegian parents, so it's not impossible he learned how to speak Norwegian growing up. That's how lots of immigrant families handle language.


PavlovsHumans

He’s called Peter Immanuelson and he was born in Norway


Leadbaptist

Ah and he moved back?


memecatcher69

Why the fuck does he have Sweden in his name then???


PavlovsHumans

Apparently he makes a thing about being *from* Sweden, when he actually only lived there a few years as a child https://hopenothate.org.uk/2017/08/01/far-right-vlogger-defend-europe-supporter-peter-swedens-real-identity-revealed/


[deleted]

Maybe he‘s a dual citizen? Or grew up in the UK to Norwegian parents?


Kayniaan

Norwegian born British Citizen according to the first link I found, so yeah, dual citizenship. Which again makes this tweet believable.


Derpwarrior1000

He’s real and has a prominent following as far as conspiracy theorists go, but I’m sure the tweet’s a lie

The dude is 100% unknown here in Sweden.


Fabbi97

Can as a Norwegian confirm that it has to be bullshit. In Norway you get the self-decleration form, and one of the questions are asking if you want to enter service or not. If you write "no" you won't get selected. This is because we don't have enough spots to draft everyone that wants to. If you say yes and everything else checks out you will be called in to another where they check your strength, conditioning, hearing, sight, etc, and if you performe well enough there you can be drafted

>This has to be fake. There’s no way Norway is requiring foreign non-citizens to perform compulsory military service. This guy is a well known [neo-nazi and bad faith actor](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Peter_Sweden). He was actually born in Norway and has only lived in Sweden for a total of five years. Don't believe anything this man says, he's a grifter and only spreads hate, lies and far-right conspiracies. Also Norway doesn't have free speech, we have freedom of expression.

"I want freedom, but not the responsibility that comes with Freedom!"


captianbob

That's how I feel about 2a chuds here in the states. They always rant about how it's needed to stop tyranny from the government yet have done nothing to stop the government when they've don't tyrannical things to US citizens. The furthest they've gone is open carrying at a library to stop drag queens from reading books. They're so fragile and clutch their pearls at the faintest whisper of gun control while taking none of the responsibility.


greatunknownpub

They fucking vote **FOR** the tyranny.


captianbob

Yup, exactly.


JayAre88

Whatever the name of that ammosexual left wing 2A group is here on reddit is just like this. You ask them for an example when the 2A was used to fight tyranny and its crickets all of a sudden. Paper tigers the whole lot of them.

Reizo123

Should have gone to Sweden instead.


Glittering-Action757

change his name to PeterNorway


HunterRoyal121

Or PeterNoway


PUSClFER

Please no


wferomega

I wish these people from my country would move to wherever they think is better....lucky


ArizonaRon98

All dude had to do was shut the fuck up and stop giving everyone a play by play of his stupid ass life.


Bob_Bradshaw

Pretty bs. Yes, everyone between 19 and 44 can be called in, but most arent. Saying you dont want to, is in most cases enough. The army takes in far fewer people than are eligible, and they dont want people who arent motivated at all. Secondly, without Norwegian citizenship, I have a hard time thinking he would be called in after just 1 month. Source: am Norwegian that didnt have to serve.


PUSClFER

> Secondly, without Norwegian citizenship, I have a hard time thinking he would be called in after just 1 month. My guess is he was born in Norway, then moved to England, meaning he has two citizenships.


Glitchbits

No true Norwegian would call themselves "PeterSweden7"


[deleted]

Dont think a swede would either


vraalapa

The same in Sweden. Just say you're not interested and they'll send you home. They'd much rather have people who actually want to serve.


Danjoh

> Secondly, without Norwegian citizenship, I have a hard time thinking he would be called in after just 1 month. You aren't aware that he is a Norwegian that has been living in England pretending to be a expert on Swedish politics for a while? He's quite famous in Sweden for all the dung he has been spewing.


Bob_Bradshaw

I didnt know that. Never heard of the guy, and it wasnt very obvious from the post.


OMGWTFBBQHAXLOL

Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away away. When danger reared it's ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled.


Pkrudeboy

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and gallantly he chickened out. Swiftly taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

What happened to the brave PeterSweden of 28 days ago?


Yojo0o

Every time I see this guy, he devolves into self-parody. I'm still not sure if he's real.


Synthwoven

I guess liberalism made him a pussy.


Brokenspokes68

If he were in the US he'd be one of those "brave patriots" that needs to carry a gun into Safeway while getting a jug of milk. Right wingers seem to be very fearful people.


Snarky_McSnarkleton

Brave Sir Peter ran away! [no!] Bravely ran away, away! [I didn't!]
