What? Unpossible! Sweden is a glorious socialists paradise, held up by the left as a true utopia!

The obvious solution is to raise taxes on the rich.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I predict "Making Trump look like a Piker when it comes to deportations."  There is a strong consensus growing that the middle east is ready to be repopulated, and who better then the people who came from there and refuse to assimilate to Scandinavian society.   
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

What are the dots? Terrorist attacks? (I'm trying to extrapolate from the huge number in Northern Ireland.)

Conflict of some sort? (From the dots in Eastern Ukraine.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'd expect a lot more along the east coast of England if that were the case.

Tineye search says map of terror attacks.

In my defense, there's at least a slight correlation.  =D

I'm guessing terrorist attacks.
Note the large concentration of dots in N. Ireland, N. Spain (ETA?), Israel, Iraq, etc......

Terrorist attacks.
Note: Note Baltic countries + Slovakia and lack of terrorist activity.
SJWs would consider these countries as 'xenophobic' and 'lacking in diversity.'

One part of me wants to see it the other fears it.

Nations are composed of people/tribes who share traditions and morals.

Multiculturalism is a delusion.

It has the appearance of working when there is a strong dominant tolerant culture that allows minority cultures liberty.

Once other people/tribes/culture gain enough power they start to exert their power against the dominant culture.

Welcome to Babel.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Here's hoping at least. 

I don't think there's any peaceful solution to Europe or our 3rd world invasion issue that doesn't involve lots of blood if the borders aren't enforced and soon.

IMHO, the blood will be from folks whose heads roll because they don't convert to Islam.  The West (or more accurately its ruling class) has no sense of self-preservation, which is understandable given how they hate their heritage.  Most will roll over to the scourge that is Islam.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

This.  The blood will be shed by Muslims, not the Europeans.

Oh absolutely, after all Europeans haven't committed a genocide since......oh 1995 or so.

I'm not an Islam apologist, nor do I think it's a good set of beliefs, but anyone who thinks that this recent EU, koombaya, welcome everyone peacefully shtick is actually what Europeans are like has a very, very short sense of history.

I'd really like to see them figure out how to balance there Leftist Cultural relativism with some sustainable economic model just because I don't want to deploy there for clean up, but I think it's more likely we will get economic collapse, leading to nationalism, leading to "Get the *expletive deleted*ck Out", and if there's push back on that, some good old fashioned pogroms.

Remember the entire EU Migrant Crisis from 2015 on is 5 or 6 million people, and Europe has 743 million people.  The Muslims are still pretty outnumbered.  Their success in terrorist attacks across the EU is soley a function of the average European not blaming terrorism on immigrants.  Once that calculus changes, it's on like Donkey Kong.

I'm hearing that there are long lines for membership for shooting clubs. Pistol shooting is seeing an upswing in interest. Also, more and more people are going through the classes to get the hunters' certificate and get hunting weapons...but the number of hunting licenses sold each year remains relatively steady. Hmmm. ;)
