Sweden fines man for writing insults about Somalis
They’re coming for you next: A man has been convicted of the crime in Sweden of daring to write something derogatory about Somalis.
A 70-year-old man who recently was prosecuted for writing that Somalis are lazy and don’t work, has now been convicted of the crime in Sweden. It is “derogatory to the group of Somalis’ reputation” according to the District Court.
The man, who lives in western Sweden, wrote in connection with a Facebook post that linked to an SVT article, which stated that only one out of five Somalis have a job, that “no Somali can work they are the laziest people in this world”.
The verdict came last week. The man was convicted of hate speech by a unanimous District Court, and ordered to pay 60 daily fines of SEK 120, totaling SEK 7200 (700 euro’s).
It is astonishing to me how completely we have forgotten the concept of freedom of speech, which by definition must allow everyone the right to insult others. Without the ability to offend, there is no point to free speech, because no one will be allowed to point out the mistakes or foibles of others.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

Some will be allowed to offend. That is always how these things play out.

I love it when the left’s memes backfire on themselves!
And certainly don’t mention that Swedish rape cases have sky-rocketed since they let in Arab “refugees”

Roseanne and many other comedians wish they would’ve kept there mouth shut. Even things some said years ago like Kevin Hart has affected their careers. Just talking about black face got a morning host fired.
Some like Louis Farrakhan are untouchable.

He’s having way too much fun at the expense of Kamala Harris’s good friend.
Remember “hate speech” is a “hate crime” which means they have made an emotion illegal. What will the next illegal emotion?

Col Beausabre,
Unfortunately, referencing white supremacist, antisemitic web sites tends to detract from the credibility of the material contained therein. I would appreciate it if you could refrain from doing so in the future. Thank you.

wayne,
From his second link:
“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
“In fact anywhere the Jew imports it’s brother Muslims en masse their soon follows a ‘Rape Epidemic’ resulting in tragic consequences like the case below in Oslo, Norway.”
plus, the byline states it’s from “Daily Stormer”. Not exactly an unbiased source.
