It's the truth. Scales of racial acceptance between the US/Canada and Europe are very very different. What's considered normal or mainstream in Europe would be considered to be the equivalent of the KKK in the US. A lot of European posters here have a hard time realizing this and then they tend to side with American white supremacists like InfoHawk/Baasha.

This is also why Norway is freaking out over a minority population of 3-4%. That's pathetic.

You've been to, say, Birmingham or Wolverhampton then?

Have you been to every single city in the entire world?

Yet another typical tactic employed by Euro-nationalists who have a difficult time comprehending their scale of racial intolerance that inherently allows for racist beliefs and policies to be more mainstream.

Cool categorical statement on all Norwegians. Got any basis for this? Any at all?

Here in Finland, even police can't carry a gun when off duty. (Dunno if it's the same in Norway.) I have heard from more than one policeman that they would want to have the opportunity. Furthermore, in my shooting clubs and organizations, I know plenty of people would carry. Just to give an example of a recurring situation where the status quo makes no sense: transporting a gun to the shooting range. Since I obey the law, I carry it stowed away in a bag. If someone mugs me, the gun and ammo fall in the hands of a violent criminal. If I could legally carry the gun secured on my person instead of the bag, it would be much less likely to be taken from me. If I could carry it loaded, that would be better still.

Just two weeks ago I chatted with a Norwegian taking part in the same shooting competition I did. And you know what? He would have liked a right to carry.

Thanks for adding your views on these issues, I find posts from outside the US especially interesting.

My question: Are these views on wanting more rights in regards to carrying a firearm in your country considered radically right wing extremism? Are they considered to be the domain of the paranoid?

Just curious, thanks again.

I don't know, I think it's possible. I think his psychological suffering runs fairly deep. This is his only way to lash out against people of European descent. It's not socially acceptable to say the things he says in the real world (in the west at least).

No i've not been to every city in the world, that's why I try not to speak for all of them.

You should try it.

Yep, it shows a true level of intolerance that is pretty rare in places like the US and Canada...over here, it's just with the rare white supremacist organizations like those run by InfoHawk/Baasha.

It's also another example of the difference in racial acceptance scale between the US/Canada and Europe. In Europe, apparently 3-4% is something to go insane over.

I wonder about InfoHawk/Baasha myself. Here is a guy who trolls with two accounts: InfoHawk to promote white supremacist ideology and then Baasha to promote Indian Hindu caste nationalism.

I'm pretty sure that he suffers from some sort of mental disease considering that he has these two split personalities, but somehow it works so perfectly. I have to admit that InfoHawk/Baasha is a very good troll.
 
People here should read this guy's manifesto. Many statements in it are almost as if they're copied and pasted from various posts on this forum from our local White Supremacist Brigade.

So when you say all of Europe is racist and hates non whites are you speaking for all European cities or just a few? Maybe just the imaginary ones in your head?

Funnily enough if you swapped a few ethnicities around it would match yours as well.

I'm speaking in general terms. It's not that difficult.

When you say that all of Europe isn't racist, are you speaking for all European people or just a few? Maybe just the imaginary ones in your head? Or just the white ones because the others aren't qualified as people in your view?

I've read that the guy played a lot of online video games. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a part of a 'clan' or a 'guild' or whatever that has members like InfoHawk/Baasha, WelshBloke, etc.

Did you guys know this insane murderer?

Nah, I primarily comment on governments rather than ethnicities. Of course, much white supremacist ideology is tied to a country, so they view it as an attack on their ethnicity.

Maybe you, Infohawk, and your other followers can get together and hire a copyright lawyer and sue this guy for stealing your posts.

pro-israeli extremist doesn't necessarily mean jew.

hell, look at the entire republican party--almost 100% WASP, and sucking on Israel's cock since the day they were born!

I can speak for the parts of Wolverhampton and Birmingham I've lived in.

The bits where the "white ones" are actually in the minority, and life goes on the same as the bits of Norfolk I've lived in where the "white ones" are in the massive majority, just with better food.

I think I can safely say I know a damn sight more people over here than you do. I'm also fairly happy saying your full of shit on this point.

That's nice, but I'm speaking in general terms here, not specifically about 'Wolverhampton' or 'Birmingham.'

Perhaps you live in a place that stands against the standard European scale where racial hatred is more of a moderate position.

But also, according to your own logic, you can't even comment on my statements about Europe in general. Why aren't you following your own ideology? Stop being a hypocrite.

I'm a member of a shooting club, I'm an army vet and I'm a hunter... I'd consider myself proficient with a firearm and a gun nut.

BUT, I'm a minority and thank god for that, I like that I'll only see a gun down at the range, americans generally equate gun ownership with freedom but imo it's a greater freedom not being forced to own a gun for selfdefense.

You are making the logical leap that carry licenses being available somehow means you have to get one. Doesn't work like that in Estonia; doesn't work like that in Czech; doesn't work like that in the US.

Another misconception with that is, with a concealed carry law like in most of the US, you would still only see guns at the range. The licenses only allow completely concealed carry. You see a gun? They lose their carry license for being careless with it.
You have a different gun culture in finland than we do in the rest of Scandinavia (and in my experience you generally have a different culture allround) , some studies estimates there is upwards of 56 firearms per 100 citizens in Finland[link].
also your local gun club isn't really going to give you an unbiased view on firearms.

there isn't a strong movement for legalizing firearms for selfdefense in Norway, Sweden or Denmark, you cannot argue that.

There is no strong movement for legalizing firearms for self defense in Finland, either. My position is a minority one. But then, this is one of those few issues where the majority both has a strong opinion and is extraordinarily badly informed.

Note that I'm arguing against Nebor when he said *no* Norwegians would like to carry a gun. My point is there certainly are Norwegians who'd like to, just like there are some of us Finns who would like to.
