Should Sweden and Finland join NATO?

Free speech is not a right. It is a privilege that costs $8.

Swedish elections are basically over. The nationalist party are seen as the victors as they climb to second place in size. During a live interview from the party celebration a drunk member did a not so silent dog whistle when she said a phrase sounding like Swedish "sieg heil"

[Lagom @lagomland]

Sweden have the same word for "Awesome" and "Cruel".

@TheLastUprisin1 @CleverMonsterCT I'm sorry but where is Sweden in this?

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder The right refers to the political movements that push for more hierarchies and traditionalism.

More hierarchies can refer to political positions like
Less taxes for the rich
Less welfare fo the poor
Authoritarianism
Apartheid

and so on

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder This is just history. Read about it some time. The phrase refers to the seating in French parliament

[Lagom @lagomland]

@TinyTim55803494 @moosejaa @scrowder So now you are advocating for changing language

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder Left refers to people who want egalitarianism. More equality, and that can be achieved in different ways, big government being one of them.

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder Right wing politics refer to politics that push for a society with more hierarchies and stronger traditional norms. So for example authoritarianism since that is very hierarchical

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder I mean the right is currently doing that with the word "right" because they don't like that right wing politics refer to things like authoritarianism

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder But the redifining of words take multiple years through a big discourse. It doesn't happen over night

[Lagom @lagomland]

@moosejaa @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder And where does that meaning come from?

@mike68386802 @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder So you don't think the word right wing originated to describe the monarchy in France?

[Lagom @lagomland]

@mike68386802 @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder So right wing still refers to authoritarians and monarchies?

[Lagom @lagomland]

@Christo4bb @Hari89886353 @FiorilloRalph @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder Humans create words. We also create the meaning of those words. As time moves on and society changes we usually change both words and meanings.

[Lagom @lagomland]

@mike68386802 @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder So you are saying the word "right" have changed its meaning?

[Lagom @lagomland]

@Christo4bb @Hari89886353 @FiorilloRalph @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder The word sqwiopllep has no meaning. The word woman has several.

[Lagom @lagomland]

@Hari89886353 @Christo4bb @FiorilloRalph @TinyTim55803494 @scrowder I believe that there are more meanings than that. A lot of words mean different things in different contexts
