Could you keep the fascism over there, please? Thank you.

time to pop some corns

Does anyone notice that quote wasn't in the article. Is submitter simply trying to start a flame war?

I could use a little fascism here.

Yes.

"The dark night of fascism is forever descending upon the United States, yet somehow it always lands in Europe"

WTF????

Oh whatever. She resigned over the Tsunami handling. The censorship thing was just a final straw.

The quote is meant to point out the irony about how everyone freaks out over our rights here in the states, while it happens right under people's noses in Europe without so much as a peep.

/not submitter

"It's not the time to appoint a bloke. Persson has said he wants equality in the government so if a woman quits, another woman should come in," said Bergman.

Wouldn't equality in government mean appointing the best person for the job (regardless of sex, race, etc.)?

Explain yourself, submitter.

"Wouldn't equality in government mean appointing the best person for the job (regardless of sex, race, etc.)?"

Of course not. Equality is appointing someone regardless of their skill. Its not fair to give jobs to people who are better at them.

"The quote is meant to point out the irony about how everyone freaks out over our rights here in the states, while it happens right under people's noses in Europe without so much as a peep."

Well maybe if they freaked out about their rights a little more often.

[insert some quote about "eternal vigilance" here]

Yellow Headline Submission!

Fabrication and many loud noises over nothing.

Read these 2 articles and put them together, and the quote in the headline (mis-leading and inflamatory as it is) is quite correct.

/sorry no linky but my html jujitsu sucks right now
//The Republic is dead,
///Long live the Empire!

The trifecta is in play. submitter, like two others before him today, is indeed a complete and utter...

It's a Tom Wolfe quote.

uofwi92 and the rest of you:
If you rely on Fark healines for factual news, there's a problem. I think you're all just disappointed a quote this juicy wasn't really in the article.

Wouldn't equality in government mean appointing the best person for the job (regardless of sex, race, etc.)?

Yes, but appointing another woman to the job, just because the last person was a woman or because if fulfills some perceived notion of how things ought to be is more in line with facism. For example, eliminating Jews, Gypsies, Catholics, Communists, and Homosexuals from Germany fulfilled Hitler's vision of an Aryan, protestant nation.

/Did I just Godwin the thread?
//Or was that inherent in the headline?

You have very high peep standards, if the resignation of a Foreign Minister doesn't qualify.

Who hangs out near Corona banners?

"Wouldn't equality in government mean appointing the best person for the job (regardless of sex, race, etc.)?"

You're not Swedish I guess? We live in a different world over here. Opression is freedom, peace is war and up is down. It's the Swedish model you hear so much about.

The quote in the headline is so very fitting.

The quote is from here:

submitter: The dark night of fascism is forever descending upon the United States,

Too late. It's here. Grab another beer. But not in a texas bar or you will be arrested for being drunk. In the bar. Not driving. Not killing anuone. Just getting shiat faced before monday comes again.

whaledawg: It's a Tom Wolfe quote.

Well spotted.

Sweden could've avoided all this crap, if it had only listened to Anders Chydenius

/Borga borga borg

Also, don't forget that the communist party (the left party, they changed their name, not their values. The leadership still openly supports the communist ideology) is part of the government coalition in Sweden. They have suggested a ban on showing fox news in Sweden and at their last party convention they discussed a suggestion from a representative to kick all americans out of the country unless they resigned from their american citizenship. Also, they wanted to make it illegal for americans to come to sweden. And this is just some stuff from the top of my mind.

ivan always reminds people at taco bell that tostada means toast in some latino countries.

Jeez, and I thought Europe was so enlightened and free?

ivan doesn't eat unauthentic latino foods.

ivan and xcb

Which one of youz is gonna buy me a new keyboard? Thanks for the laugh.

I was also wondering how NewHere knew the kid was Mexican.

/heart submitter


Of course the lefties are going to be disturbed at the quote. How dare the submitter imply that we live in anything other than a fascist state?!?

Fat, retarded Mexican?

How do you know he's Mexican? You some kind of farking psychic? Or just a complete idiot?

Probably because there is a Corona beer ad and a sign that says "No Tire Basura". Stop your psuedo-politically correct nonsense and let the facts speak for themselves.

ivan,

Some of us can actually tell the difference between all those "brown people". Is he just a "brown person" to you?

I work for a fat retarded Mexican. So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

But trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you don't know about the topic....Don't make yourself sound like you do.

Cuz some Farkers will believe anything they read.
