Nothing this guy said is alien to us European, this part of the world has a long history of war and violence, maybe that’s why we know the danger of extreme patriotism and politicians that have all the answers. Civilization is a thin layer and keeping it in tact is a constant battle. But extreme politicians and growing inequality is a dangerous cocktail!
There's a difference between patriotism and facism...by extreme patriotism if u mean facism then yeah... Very bad But patriotism means having extreme love and respect for the motherland and for the good of our own people and their security... always a YES...
Extreme patriotism is really dangerous it usually becomes facism, it is very close. All the people that grew up in a small village knows what it means, either you let people in or not, either you help each other in the village or not and the best envirioment for growing up is helping each other in society
It's baffeling the amount of people who can't understand that you can love something, and want it to be better. Not pointing out issues or flaws is a shitty idea and that if anything shows you don't love your country. Who wouldn't want what you love to be the best version it can be? Also, and this is probably a internet law, First.
I have to say that I’m proud to be Swedish for opening Andrew’s eyes to the parts that I think is wrong in America. Gun laws is one. Health care system another totally insane system that you seem stuck with with low probability of change. He found out there are other ways to live. The Scandinavian countries constantly rank among the highest when it comes to quality of life. Andrew have experienced first hand what is lacking in America.
only 10 seconds in you said "there are a lot of people who would help him pack to get out of the country". That - to me - is typically American: don't listen to what's said, but only read the headlines. If it is really " the land of the free ", why can't anyone say whatever they want? The internet can be a better source for news than commercial tv-channels. If you want to know things, you should see what newsagents say from all sides of the story (as every story has more truths than one!)
Yeah Americas History may be a "war" of divide and conquer... But don't forget Europe has the bloodiest history of any continent. And still manages to represent the difference in the people in other ways than 50/50
That's also why the European Union is so important. It's a peace project, to ensure that war never happens again in Europe, through interdependence via trade and the four freedoms.
@@RobertClaeson yeah that didn't work out now did it 😂 too much tension still (even not counting Ukraine) Ukraine isn't the last war to be fought on EU soil unfortunately.
@@elementalgolem5498 No Europe is a continent EU is a Union, and in this Union there is no war. Ukraine is in Europe but it is NOT in the EU. And if Ukraine was in the EU, Putin would face a bigger problem, because then he would draw the anger of the EU members. Or do you think a country outside the EU can easily start a war with an EU member on the soil of this EU members? EU members cannot simply declare war on another member overnight. That's why the Eu works on this level, even if it's not perfect (but what is perfect anyway)
A lot of people take "visibility" and "representation" to mean others are forcing their ideals and beliefs on them, but that is usually not the case. When did it become wrong to say what I believe, then you can disagree or agree, we have a discussion but still respect each other. Jamaica is nowhere near being that open to certain discussions tho, and it always ugly and hurtful.
💯 We have to keep the hope,fam🙏🏾. The more of these conversations we have, the more we realize our society hasn’t gotten as far as it’s promoted to be.
I think that one of the biggest problems with the 2 party system is that it is much easier to try to poke holes in your opponents position (regardless if those problems actuary exist or if its just a strawman) than to properly explain your own position. So if you only have one opponent than the smart money is on shit flinging, but if you have to compete with 5 or 6 opponents than building up your own position is worth your time.
I love that anyone can stand for election in the UK. There have been many joke candidates such as Screaming Lord Sutch of the Monster Raving Loony Party! It's also good to see people taking note of the Green Party. Having a two party system seems very backward.
The way the ones that chose not to get the shot were treated, right down to wishing death on them, was a real eye opener. This includes Canada as well. What happened to respect for differences in opinion

Is there no law that regulates what a politician can receive. It used to be called a bribe in Sweden and is illegal An undue advantage. That is, something you receive or give and where the giver's purpose is to influence the recipient's decision or performance of service. There are no exact levels for what qualifies as a bribe. It can be material benefits such as money, gifts, trips or discounts. It can also be promises to go ahead in a queue system or to be mentioned positively in a certain context.
I think USA is going the wrong way with media and that politicians can buy it, it's actually a very dangerous and a communist way and how you treat mentally ill homeless people you are the richest country on the earth but I hope you are going to be better,,,, LOVE FROM SWEDEN 🇸🇪 ❤️❤️❤️
I admire american patriotism because even when is obvious that your government is working against you you do not loose your love for your country, here in europe the only love we have is for the beer and the football club.
The fun thing is that Sweden has like 9 miljon people. And American has more then the swedish population in one city. So can't say that Swedish people show more compassion.
Honestly, putting on the same level people dying because they cannot afford healthcare with people being offended because someone is dead-naming them is a bit of a stretch.
You two both have a lot of good points but and this is a very eurocentric viewpoints and I like your both points but the male (sorry I didnt catch his name) he is very good at looking different viewpoints and still try to bring it all together
As a Norwegian Sweden is confusing at times. They do the right thing, then don't follow up. Let in loads of imigrants etc, and let them live in poverty ? No system in place to give education or jobs? I dont know how I would have done it different and I have no awnser. Its the same in Norway. We just take less people. in a panic situation like with Ukraine, fair you cant plan for it. But the wealth of Scandinavia should be enough to keep kids out of Crime because of lack of food or a place to live. Yet we seem unwilling to spend it. As for USA ? I have no idea. Education is a problem, as it should be free all over the world. But other than that they all seem like nice people. I try not to look at USA as what we see in movies. But Racism is still an issue. Sadly. Correct me if I am wrong. Poverty (Broke/homeless people have to eat and live. hence crime). Apart from that they are decent people that try to do the best they can. And if shit happens. The best friend you can have as a nation. They proved it in WW2 that its your best friend or your worst enemy. Not the Government. But the people
My chinese friend has been trying to learn swedish and find a job through our public education system. She was amazed at how great it was, all the material was free, classes were very cheap (they are free for asylum seekers) and teachers were available and helpful at flexible hours. Its not the system in place that is an issue, it's lack of incentive to learn and adapt.
It’s interesting to see how Sweden was reacting to the way Denmark (finally) was acting towards the refugees from the Middle East, making demands and refusing those who comitted a crime the right to stay in the country and only allowing a limited number the right to stay. Only a few years later Sweden opens their borders to anyone who wish to come and stay. The result? Sweden is the leading country in Europe when it comes to gun-inflicted killings! Sweden is in serious problems and their government need to wake up and start acting. Don’t take this wrong. I really wish that anyone no matter origen or race should have a chance, but if they don’t know how to behave, then it’s back to where they came from. But if they’ll respect the laws there’s a big chance to make life better.
The problem in America is not guns..it's mental health..people who commit atrocities all have unresolved mental health issues. Take away guns and knives or something else will be used instead..like trucks or busses.. If the nation is mentally taken care of you would see less mass casualties. I also think that it makes sense that you would see more things happening in America because it is just so big..I mean, each state is almost like a country on it's own. So bigger country = more likely to have more incidents. Other large nations have disarmed their citizens and a lot of those people are now at the mercy of their communist leaders since their people can't defend themselves now..
The statement that "it is not guns, it is mental health", is such a non argument, and being honest, always sounds like an excuse not to change. If people with mental health issues don't have guns, they can't shoot people. Americans don't seem to understand that this statement is an argument for more gun control. If people are properly assessed for access and owning a gun, and conditions around storage and licences are required, those with mental health issues are far less likely to get them. Then they can't shoot anyone!! You saying they will find something else is so ridiculous to the rest of the world. Look up world statistics of the US compared to other countries in the rest of the world, who pretty much all have gun control, and you will see that there are not mass knife attacks or mass cars used to kill people. The US is even higher in knife crime than a lot of other countries, including the UK, which Trump tried to lie about. You need to do some researching to look at world indexes and where the US sits in these. World Population Reviews and Indexes are all reported as 'per capita', so the fact that you are a bigger country with more people is irrelevant to these statistics. Your statement that "other large nations have disarmed their citizens and a lot are at the mercy of the communist leaders", really suggests that you have little understanding of the rest of the world outside the US. There are literally only one or two countries in the world that are communist out of about 195 countries. Most countries in the rest of the developed world have democratic systems, with parties of both right and left leaning politics. They all have regular elections every few years, just like in the US. People vote in a government by majority, and if they become unhappy with them, will then vote them out at the next election. We do not need guns to defend ourselves against the government as we have democracy that works. The fact that Americans think they need guns so they can defend themselves against their government is so wildly laughable, and suggests you are still in 1776 when your constitution was written. You do know the army and other forces have way more fire power than citizens, I mean what are you all going to do against tanks and drones if you want to overturn your government?? If democracy works, you do not need to arm yourself. I would suggest that it might help you to really look into what it is like to live outside of the US, how you are compared to the rest of the world and gain some perspective that is not through just a US lens. I understand that the US is a young country of only about 300 years, but consider that the rest of the world is 000's of years old, and has a lot of history and experience in democracy. We also have media that gives us relatively unbiased world news every day along with news from our own country, and so we all know about other countries and what is happening in them, as it is not focused only on internal matters. This helps us understand and have a perspective of our own countries in the context of the world.

The Gothenburg discothèque fire was a fire caused by an arson attack on 29 October 1998, which occurred on premises located on Hisingen island in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The fire department had estimated the building could only hold up to 150. In all 63 were killed and 213 injured.
