2014 War Room Awards

[UpaLoompa]

dochtor thinks he can hurl an insult and that somehow lends him creditability, he might be the most dishonest poster on this board.

Thanks!
Insults from you are better than any sort of praise, they show I'm doing something right.

That makes more sense. What do you most heavily attribute these problems to? I would presume that Sweden would be more susceptible to the right-leaning immigration rhetoric because they have accommodated more immigrants and refugees historically (correct?). However, I did some research on Denmark a few years ago and found similar political trends of anti-immigration platforms gaining footing in parliament. I'm guessing it's just occurring to a lesser degree?

All the things I mentioned? That would require making a smaller essay (though I have been talking a lot about it in the Europe/Scandinavia/Eurabia threads). But as for immigration; Yes, Sweden has taken in far more muslim immigrants Denmark, but right-wing populism is something that thrives much more in Denmark than Sweden.

A quick rundown:
Denmark has since 2004 been very hard on immigration (from muslim countries), ever since the danish peoples party became part of government.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12366676
In 2004 the danish peoples party was a small stigmatised party who typically only got votes from uneducated racists (much like what you see with the Sweden democrats today). Here is their 2007 election video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBSoMiG94Es (go to 1:40 for the scaremongering).
But since ~2010 they have become a mainstream established party because A: They're strong supporters of the welfare state, B: Very nationalistic, C: Very EU-skeptic and D: Do not like muslims. And voila! Those are the 4 values that your average dane can get behind. Here is their 2012 election video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAH1wGNqJM (go to 1:40 again to see their new attitude)
Now compare that to the 2007 election video. As you can see they have become a lot more moderate (in their public opinions), though they still make cheesy and shitty election ads.

They became extremely popular this year because of their EU-skepticism. Their candidate (a left leaning Nigel Farage) took in almost half a million personal votes (which is unprecedented in danish history).
http://cphpost.dk/news/a-fifth-of-all-votes-were-for-messerschmidt.9678.html
Recent polls now have the party as the biggest party in Denmark.

So now in 2015 Denmark has become even more hostile towards muslim immigrants. Even the left leaning political parties have tightened immigration. It has begone to get out of hand imo.

http://www.thelocal.dk/20140805/denmark-no-entry-for-muslims

And to make it short. What you see now in Sweden is very resembling to what was happening in Denmark 10 years ago (right wing parties slowly on the rise, but still stigmatised etc.). Though Denmark has always been far more nationalistic than Sweden. These comics sums it up a bit.

Thanks man! I really do appreciate it. I was really surprised RS only had Swedish. I was torn between Danish and Russian for my next language to learn, but since performing worse than expected on my recent placement test, I figured it might actually be most prudent to travel to Denmark while I'm young instead of waiting until I've established my career (and I only wanted to learn Russian for my own private reading). I'd even planned on taking advantage of some of the nifty free courses over there that they offer to immigrants and tourists, but I would hate to short-change my time there by doing that.

Not a lot of people are looking to learn danish unless they intend on moving here. Swedish is probably the most well-known out of the scandinavian nations, so I figure that is why.
The free danish courses over here I think is quite good. You will also be able to meet other recent immigrants, at least the people I know who did it seems to have been happy about it.
Good luck with it all. Some useful websites perhaps:

Here's a blog from an american women who lives here (I find some of it quite funny and true): http://www.howtoliveindenmark.com/

Biggest CT'er: That one is obvious. But I'll say this as well... IDL cannot be rustled, seems like a pretty genuinely nice guy and as crazy as he sounds sometimes (Most times, imho. Sorry, man) I don't think he's trolling. And he's willing to stick to those beliefs even when pressed. I don't think that last one is a good quality, but it made me respect him.

.

This is a good point. Pretty impressive how countless people take digs at him but he continues to plug along.

But that's because the powers that be use aggression and insults to derail independent thinking. The NWO would love it if every free thinker gives in to anger and frustration. Not IDL though.

Could also be a sign that he doesn't actually believe in or care about the things he posts.

 

[InvestigatorIL]

conservatard - Second sight
Worst poster of the year - Second sight

 

[ripskater]

Or he's just comfortable with who he is.

 

[IDL]

Could also be a sign that he doesn't actually believe in or care about the things he posts.

It's partly because I understand what it looks like from the other side because I was there. Thus, I don't judge people or take offense to it.

 

[afrdzak]

While not exactly thread worthy, the best PMs were myself and several others playing IDL bingo with his crazy conspiracy rants.

Ever since then, he has since expanded his vocabulary. It's pretty spectacular.

LOL. I haven't posted much this year, but man, that was easily my Sherdog highlight this year!

 

[Oldmansavage]

Best thread was the one where a certain poster was defending the bikers that were harassing passing motorists. Fucking cagers just don't understand.

What, 2 years in a row? :icon_lol:

Typical cager, so unaware of what's going on around them they don't even know what year it is.

Damn, my memory isn't sharp enough to answer all of those, but a few categories:

Mr. Liberal - JVS (runners up are Speak & Doc)
Mr. Libtard - Ultra - I know he's trolling and is sometimes funny, but he mostly sucks
Mr. Conservative - Pan (runners up in my book are Denter & Oldshadow)
Mr. Conservatard - TCK
Mr. Independent - I think Hollywood Nicky leans left, but he says he votes I and he does hold some right wing positions (gun control, Immigration). He gets my vote for entertainment value alone along with making good points and owning people in the Zimmerman threads. Otherwise I think Independents are full of shit TBH
Mr. CT - IDL, a real whacko
Best Mod: Zankou
Best Poster of the Year: JVS or Pan, their debates are what the WR should be about
Worst Poster of the Year: TCK or IDL. Both suck in different ways.
Worst Post of the Year: TCK in countless SSM & religious threads, too many to pick one. IDL in every thread defaults to a CT.
Worst Troll of the Year: OldGoat
Best New Poster: Speakhandsforme (not sure if he's new enough or even when his start date was, but I noticed his WR posts this year)

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Maybe. Though I think that's much more likely to be the case for those that easily talk about others as "good guys" even when they disagree with their positions.

Personally, I genuinely dislike the far-right posters here. Politics affects real people and by- presumably- supporting these causes in the real world, they're contributing to the hardship, or worse, of real people . I appreciate those that carry discussions in a civil manner, but beyond that all I feel for them is revulsion and contempt.

 

[MicroBrew]

Because I check them out every once in a while when I'm jonesing for a little outrage. I do realize how ridiculous that sort of behavior is.

I like to read their threads of ancient history,archaeology etc..

You should check out the ones where they claim Ancient Egyptians were White, Sumerians were White and the 1st people in the Americans were White until Amerindians came and slaughtered them.

In fairness there are some members who oppose this revisionist nonsense by some SF members.

 

[faustian]

The only time I come to the WR is to look for Zankou's posts because it's basically a free education. Everyone else sucks and you should all be ashamed of yourselves

 

[Thames]

He's the hero the War Room deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight

The only time I come to the WR is to look for Zankou's posts because it's basically a free education. Everyone else sucks and you should all be ashamed of yourselves

If I were Zankou after reading this thread, I would have someone start building a monument for me.

Looks like I've gotten under someone's skin last year

 

[Jukai]

Hate Storm is easily one of the best posters on Sherdog.

His posts are utter dogshit. You and IDL are on a serious nosedive, my friend.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Let em know Gandhi
