In this episode, I explain why Russia is not behind Sweden's rise in nationalism, and why it's not because they are getting paid by the Russian government to promote their own interests. I also explain why they are not behind the rise in Sweden's nationalism.
00:00:00.840Greetings. Today I want to pick some low-hanging fruit and point out some obvious things.
00:00:06.420And before I begin to elaborate, I would just like to say that I don't really know who my subscriber base is anymore.
00:00:13.140Two years back I knew quite well who the true friends were, but now since we've gained some momentum,
00:00:18.960I don't have as good of a grasp of exactly who are watching and who's not watching.
00:00:24.580So if this is really obvious, that is because of that, but I just want to throw it out there for good measure so people know what is up.
00:00:33.560So the topic at hand is the Russia interfering in elections.
00:00:38.860This is something I thought they dropped after the American election, but lo and behold, they've actually tried this in Sweden now as well.
00:00:46.420So the reasoning goes that someone like me, for example, is getting paid by Putin to work metapolitically for my own people.0.80
00:00:56.120Now, obviously, this is as retarded as it gets.1.00
00:00:59.820I can just say that no, obviously, I have not taken any money from the Russian government.0.65
00:01:04.340I don't do this because I get money from it.
00:01:07.300On the contrary, if I wanted to maximize my money, I wouldn't have killed off any and all chances of any well-paying career in the mainstream.
00:01:14.920But that's okay, because in 20 years time, I can at least look my adult daughters in the eye and say, you know what, I did my part.
00:01:23.680So the key is that no, it is not because I or anyone else is getting money from Putin to promote interests for our own people.
00:01:32.600Same thing with Alternative for Sweden, for example.
00:01:35.280They are not getting money from Russia to promote a pro-Swedish party.
00:01:39.980So anyway, I thought this whole meme was dead after Hillary Clinton made that infamous speech that the grandfather of the alt-right is Vladimir Putin.
00:01:49.860I view that as a joke, but apparently this is stuck with the Western mainstream media.
00:01:56.040Now, obviously, I know that the mainstream media, especially in Sweden, has lost a lot of credibility over the last few years.
00:02:03.040So, yet again, I don't know if anyone actually believes this still, but I'm just saying yet again, no.
00:02:09.800It is not because of Russian hackers and trolls that we want to save Sweden.
00:02:16.500It is the most natural thing in the world that, at this stage in time, we want to promote Swedish interest in Sweden, for example.
00:02:27.020And now a note, and this is something I will make a separate video on later on, Russia isn't a role model and that is not a pro-European country either.
00:02:37.280Sure, Putin and Russia are better than a majority of Western European nations, no doubt about it at all.
00:02:43.160But Russia still shares similar problems as we in Western Europe.
00:02:47.440So no one is saying that Russia is a role model in any way, shape or form.
00:02:50.940It's just that Putin is less bad than his Western counterparts.0.74
00:02:57.020So anyway, to conclude, no, Russia isn't interfering in the election.
00:03:02.540We are perfectly capable of wanting to safeguard Sweden without Russia's help.0.75
00:03:09.020So anyway, yet again, I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence by implying that this wasn't obvious to you, but you never know.
00:03:16.700And if nothing else, you can show this to someone who believes this, Russia conspiracy theories.
00:03:24.420So no, Russia is not behind Sweden's rise in nationalism.
00:03:29.420It is brought upon you by our own government who is actively trying to replace us.
