Obama truly delusional. "Obama was known to say to aides: 'If only everyone could be like the Scandinavians, this would all be easy'." The Scandinavians Obama talks about, pre 1990s, were one of the most mono-etnic monocultures in the world=consensus easy.http://bit.ly/2uZONF9

Thread about the enormous pressure in Scandinavia to conform, a very oppressive consensus culture. It even has its own name The Law of Jante: the Scandinavian Iron Law of Envy.https://twitter.com/aClassicLiberal/status/987683915635871744?s=19 …

Old Whig @aClassicLiberalI grew up in Sweden which many US liberals saw as the end of their vision. A progressive society. What they didn't see is that a ultra-conformist ppl need no laws to conform to norms so the laws can seemingly be very lax and its very easy to manipulate norms, everybody follows.Show this thread2 replies 3 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @aClassicLiberal
