SAS Airlines Instructs Scandinavians to Culturally Appropriate More

A Scandinavian Airline commercial (in English):
Is the point of this Scandinavian Airline commercial about how, when you stop and think about it, there is no indigenous Scandinavian culture — but instead everything Scandinavian was all derived from abroad — to encourage Scandinavians to travel abroad (on SAS) so they can CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE even more stuff from non-Scandinavians?
Isn’t that problematic?

”We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
We’ll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!“

"We are your overlords ..."

The point is to rub their (ordinary Scandinavians) noses in “diversity”. To convince Swedes, Danes and Norwegians that they have no culture, no heritage, that everything they value has come from elsewhere, that they’ve always been “immigrant nations” and, of course, diversity is a strength.
Similar propaganda is produced in every single Western nation. Is there any Western country where the elites are proud of their nation’s history and cultural heritage? Maybe Italy?

“encourage Scandinavians to travel abroad more so they can CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE even more stuff from non-Scandinavians?”
Looks like even the Swedes don’t want to appropriate some things.

When traveling, to influence and be influenced is okay--it's like a two-way street of give-and-take.
When communicating with media, we countenance no such influences--it's strictly a one-way street, all give and no take.
Greta Thunberg and her solar-powered yacht + train journeys has the Scandinavian air travel industry panicking about “flight shaming.” The point of this commercial is to argue that air travel is still ok for the “woke” populace since it involves fleeing from a white country for holidays, and so is anti-white.
Even during earlier times, SAS was woke being the acronym for Soviet Airlines System!
Pot-stirrer RT has added an image to that story about which the first thought is “swedish-on-swedish rape seems imminent”. Don’t know whether by design:

It’s so confusing, Mr. Sailer! It almost looks as if almost everything would be problematic now. –

I got through about 45 seconds. Quick questions for SAS management: Do you want people to travel to Scandinavia or not? Who runs the marketing department? Is she too unScandinavian to be fired, cause you really gotta do something about this?
Perhaps this airline makes money off of Scandinavian, whatever that means, government workers who Scandinavian, whatever that is, taxpayers send on jaunts around the world and business travelers who really DON’T have a choice when they fly, plus the occasional last-minute premium fare for one of Greta Thunberg’s sailing crews, after they drop her off at the slip.
Still, this is not the best of ad campaigns, but what do I know, I bought a can of New Coke one time. Ask Steve Sailer before you make one of these commercials next time.
Aren’t Scandinavians all Out of Africa anyway?

Related note: This idea occurred to me last week while seeing an ad for Irish tourism. How about an ad like that showing an American couple seeing the usual touristy things,such as the ocean,the landscape,the quaint village,the pub,dancing,food,friendly people…and at the end the couple encounters a group of vibrants who savagely beat the hell out of them.
As the couple lay bleeding and moaning on the street a young female voiceover cheerfully intones:”We have THEM,too!”

It’s just about hating Whitey. You can thank today’s Abrahamized civilization for that.
The Romans did not have social justice. Did not demand that Herman the German be treated as his brother. Only an Abrahamic influenced civilization would be so foolish. Same goes for LBGTOWA degeneracy (contra Christian/Leftoid memes both the Greeks and Romans regarded a man getting penetrated as shameful for the man who was penetrated, mocked and shamed crossdressers…).

But Sweden does have an artistic culture of its own. In a country where for several months of the year there are only a few hours of daylight, you need to keep an eye on the time, so not surprising that Swedes spent a lot of long winter evenings painting their clocks while waiting for the Northern Lights to go out.
At least it didn’t say, “Time to go a-Viking!”
iSteve Travel News!
SAS proudly introduces its new Ethnomasochism cabin class on all its airliners for all its inferior worthless white fake-Scandinavians passengers!
Meanwhile SAS is also replacing First and Business Classes with…
PoC: Reserved for superior vibrant creative inventive talented peoples: whether jet black African Negroes (as the advert says: the ancestors of the Vikings), or Muslim Jihadists (as the advert says: ‘who knows what they’ll bring back home with them!’)
This reminds me of a feature the BBC did awhile back describing the Sami (Saami?) as Europe’s only indigenous people.
Apparently all other Europeans came to Europe on rafts. The Sami it seems, sprouted up from the Scandinavian earth.
History and some other academic fields are truly entering a flat Earth period.
The British-style of left wing cultural destruction is far more subtle and effective than that advert, which is so blatant it is counter-productive to the leftist agenda.
No British company would produce an advert like that, British advertising just portrays multiculturalism and race mixing as totally normal, as the way things have always been even. Putting many blacks and other non-whites in period dramas is the norm here too. The strategy in Britain is to simply pretend that how things are today is the way things have always been.

In times past, Scandinavians were better known for cultural expropriation through the foreign policy of “rape and pillage”. The Vikings would melt down your sacred relics and recast then into something more unique to their culture. In fact, this whole list is mostly stuff Scandinavia took from other cultures and made unique to their own. No one would confuse an Italian, Turkish, Chinese or Swedish meatball. They are all unique.
But there is one thing the Scandis have which no one else really does. This is an example of the globalist push to end diversity by homogenizing one the greatest examples of human genetic uniqueness on the planet. Blonde hair and blue eyes required thousands of years of isolation to come into being and will be erased within a hundred on present course. Scandinavians are one of the smallest populations on Earth (0.38% of humanity) and a fifth of them are already foreign born. This is an obvious ploy to eradicate whiteness as Scandis are the whitest folks on the planet.
And the didn’t get democracy from the Greeks except for the word itself. They had assemblies of free men for ages known as the thing, ting or whatever.
Something that annoys me with contemporary culture: It is fine to say that a lot of what we take for granted was imported from abroad. Germany is the primary source for many of Sweden’s cultural traditions(a fact that we have tried to forget in the postwar era), in part because our elites had a conscious strategy of bringing in Germans to settle our cities. Kalmar and Visby and many other smaller Swedish cities were in no small part developed thanks to German craftsmen & merchants who immigrated on very favourable terms. A significant part of our nobility were also imported, not just the usual top-layer strategic marriages that were so common but the wholesale importation of a burgher class.
In this narrow sense, the narrative SAS pushes is correct.
However, they take the basic outlines of a more complicated history and run amok with it, inventing history out of whole cloth to suit contemporary political objectives in a way that is obviously bonkers. I find myself battling ‘hard essentialists’ a lot these days, people who wallow in the mysticism that Sweden was an isolated kingdom which arose to richness out of its labour, unhindered and unbothered by the outside world. Those misguided ideas are a lot more prone to proliferate when the standard narrative is one which SAS is pushing, which it often is.
The white/European race lacks a class of global leaders/rulers. Jews, high caste Indians, elite East Asians, etc, are all global rulers.
WASPs are about the only white group who count as a global ruling class, but they have lost most of their influence. Whites are almost exclusively a prole race, a high IQ prole race, but a prole race nonetheless.
This is a weird talking point that has developed in Sweden and nowhere else. (No Danes or Norwegians were involved in making this ad) The old quote paraphrased, ‘What is really Swedish? Midsommar and such silly things, everything good and associated with development has come from outside’. And yet the very unique society that emerged in Scandinavia that is the envy of the world is the very reason for all the ‘diversity’.
What is uniquely Swedish? Thinking that because your entire country didn’t emerge without any outside ideas means it’s important that you be ethnically displaced but also that ethnic displacement is terrible when it happens to other people. I don’t get it. One the key things is that in Sweden the population stabilised a very long time ago, there were no invasions or great migrations. Ideas came in and helped lead it to development but people didn’t much come. It’s that very lack of persons with an ‘immigrant identity’ that leads to such high social capital and the social democracy that Sweden is so rightfully proud. And, of course, as everyone even the immigrants know, the people are unique.
In Copenhagen the new waste to energy powerplant has had a public ski-slope put on it. Chances of a government in a non-Scandinavian country thinking of this? Zero. Granted the highest natural point in Denmark is 147m (And quite a gentle hill) so maybe another country wouldn’t think of it as a particularly cool idea.

I would think they already did enough cultural appropriation.
Sorry to hear about the meatball thing though – at least America will always have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
And yet Sweden got the benefit of all this technology and culture without it requiring them to let their country be conquered by Germany, Turkey, Switzerland or China. Amazing. Too bad the kind of technology that can spread ideas without requiring the mass movement of people no longer have exists.

If you would only educate yourself by reading a few hundred pages of Ta-Nehisi Coates' NYT- and Atlantic-certified Deep Thoughts on the subjects of "black bodies" and "people who believe themselves to be white," I'm sure that this basic intersectional insight would become much clearer to you through the power of simple repetition.

Susan Sontag is good on the evil part as well, but has a little too much of a tendency to view the "white race" as a validly-reified entity, so I wouldn't recommend that.

The video starts off with pretty, serene images of Scandinavian life, but as it goes on the images become uglier and look more chaotic.
The Swedes are the wokest of the European nations having accepted more refugees percentage wise than any other country. As of 2010, 14.3% of the population were refugees, that’s 1 out of every 7 Swedes. Must be worse now 10 years later. And the crime rate has risen in lockstep with changing the makeup of the nation.

In Denmark, specifically Jutland, those lumps in the landscape are often burial mounds.
I’m living in Denmark at the moment and these arguments are somewhat popular within the urban bourgeois crowd here. There is a national culture of not being too full of yourself and punishment of outward pride which make it uniquely susceptible to ethnocentric and prideful migrant groups.
Whereas post-empires such as France and the UK have their colonial pasts used to bludgeon down native resistance to mass migration from around the world, Scandinavia has never really had that tradition – so a new discourse is needed. Hence, everything you like and enjoy is from some Turk, Chinese, Indian, Arab etc… which makes it silly that you might ever question immigrants that have turned Malmo into the grenade attack capital of Europe. or why there is such a difference between Scandinavia and Arabia. The subtext in this argument of course is that since everything that is good in the region came from elsewhere, there is no problem when Scandinavians are completely dispossessed of their historic homeland.

Hey! What about that multipurpose high tech contraption called the travois? From wikipedia:
The travois served the Native Americans in a number of ingenious ways. Before the use of horses,
A. Blackfoot women made a curved fence of dog travois’ tied together, front end up, to hold driven animals enclosed until the hunters could kill them.
B. When the women put up a tipi, they placed an upright horse travois against a tipi pole and used it as a ladder so they could attach the two upper sides of the lodge cover with wooden pins.
[What scoundrel claimed that wimminz are not great inventors?]
C. A travois leaned against a branch of a tree functioned as a simple burial scaffold for a dead Crow baby tied to it.
To think I could’ve fabricated a bunch of travois to make a fence around my orchard instead of puffing, sweating and snorting when using a manual post hole digger, inserting posts I cut down from nearby trees, then attaching 8 ft. of wire fencing, etc. But if I had copied by betters, I could’ve been accused of cultural appropriation. 🙂

The weapon of (((deconstruction))) may only be wielded against the identity of the indigenous peoples of Europe and their diaspora. ALL non-White identities are cohesive, organic, and self-evidently “real,” while any form of White identity is socially constructed. Suggesting that we should apply this same type of analysis to POC identity, or even POLO (People of Levantine Origin) identity, is very problematic in the current year.

Just like Old English is not much like Modern English, the human diet shifts over the centuries. The introduction of New World crops was a big break but even without that, fashions in cooking change over time. There are some constants – the bread and olive oil that Italians eat would be familiar to any Roman, but the Romans’ great kitchen staple, garum, completely disappeared from European cooking (and reappeared, independently, as Vietnamese fish sauce) . French cooking in the Middle Ages was more like Middle Eastern cooking is now – lots of aromatic spices, not as much dairy. Other than uncontacted aborigines in some jungle, people have been stealing each other’s recipes and ingredients forever and it’s an ongoing process. The Indians and the Chinese got their chilies from the New World also (via the Portuguese). If everyone had to eat only “indigenous” food then the world would be a pretty boring place (and we would be eating a lot of corn bread and succotash).

Objectively, Sweden is an irrelevant country of 10 million people that nobody notices. However, Swedes seem to crave attention and relevance, and in the contemporary environment in which Europe and much of the world is dominated by American political and cultural liberalism, they seek attention and relevance by showing off what good little liberals they are. They’re like minstrels or dogs doing tricks.
Back in the 30s, when Fascism and Nazism looked like the wave of the future, Nazism was big and rising in Sweden, and you saw similar behavior, except instead of seeking attention and trying to show off what good liberals they are, they were trying to be good Nazis. If the Germans had won the war and fascism dominated Europe instead of American liberalism, Swedes today would probably be acting in the same sort of attention and relevance seeking way, except they’d be showing off what good little nazis they are. They’re like zombies.
That scumbag’s book was used by the Jewish attorneys and plaintiff of Brown vs Topeka to integrate the schools.
Myrdal’s book claimed that American blacks were just mis understood Angels. The only reason Americans were so mean and discriminatory to blacks was because all American parents told their children that blacks were bad and nasty and dangerous.
Myrdal’s Esther Brown’s and the rest of the Jewish attorneys of Brown vs Topeka used that book to convince the Supreme Court and evil liberals to integrate the public schools.
We all know how that turned out. The Jewish attorneys desegregated the schools and White Asian and Hispanic children learned the truth about black children. Black children are dumb border line retarded vicious bullies. And loud.
An American Dilemma by Swedish communist was the catalyst that destroyed the American public school system and subjected millions of White children to 12 years of verbal and physical abuse by the black thugs in the compulsory gulags.
For that book alone, Sweden should be boycotted by all Americans.
There was one group of blacks Myrdal didn’t praise. The black clergy because communists are atheists.

serious question, serious observation.
let’s say in the future we are able to turn this thing around. should we save the Swedes and French?
we know that genetically they will just turn around and keep doing the same thing over and over, meaning you’ll have to save them over and over, plus they’ll hate you eternally for intervening, as is often the case when you try to save somebody from themselves.
isn’t it better to just let Swedish people and French people disappear from the planet? and any other suidical europeans.
if that trait and behavior sticks around, we’ll end up fighting the same battle with the same people over and over instead of just winning it once.
What is uniquely Swedish? Thinking that because your entire country didn't emerge without any outside ideas means it's important that you be ethnically displaced but also that ethnic displacement is terrible when it happens to other people. I don't get it. One the key things is that in Sweden the population stabilised a very long time ago, there were no invasions or great migrations. Ideas came in and helped lead it to development but people didn't much come. It's that very lack of persons with an 'immigrant identity' that leads to such high social capital and the social democracy that Sweden is so rightfully proud. And, of course, as everyone even the immigrants know, the people are unique.
In Copenhagen the new waste to energy powerplant has had a public ski-slope put on it. Chances of a government in a non-Scandinavian country thinking of this? Zero. Granted the highest natural point in Denmark is 147m (And quite a gentle hill) so maybe another country wouldn't think of it as a particularly cool idea.

It’s not just hateful and completely inaccurate, it’s downright genocidal. To say that a people don’t exist is a great way to justify their annihilation. “Oh Scandinavians? They don’t exist so there’s no reason to stop letting in millions of Africans and Arabs!”
In fact, this was attempted in the 80s when some Jewish supremacist wrote a book claiming Palestinian Arabs didn’t exist and weren’t indigenous to Palestine so Israelis murdering and deporting them was legitimate. Norman Finkelstein’s deconstruction of this genocidal lie both made and broke his career, depending on how you see it

When Milton Friedman was in Scandinavia, a local economist boasted “We have no poverty here in Scandinavia.” Replied Friedman, “We have no poverty in America among people of Scandinavian descent.” I am sorry about what’s happening there now, but I say thank you to the old Scandinavia for the decent, industrious immigrants.

Based on my own DNA results and study of European history circa 800-1100, Scandinavians did a lot of “culture spreading” back in the day.
Modern day “Rus” are from Vikings, some Black Sea area people, Sicily, Spain, “Norman” France, later the invasion of the British/Irish isles, Iceland, Greenland (okay, but with global warming, a good buy now) and anywhere their long ships would go. Also the Baltics.
After becoming Christianized, they quit taking slaves (supposedly, at least the Christian ones) and also lost their seafaring edge. Also they tended not to head home after conquest, so a lot of that DNA got around. Later circa 1600s-1700s, Swedish kings invaded neighbors, allied with others to fight Russians, etc. Many came to America as well, due to feudal conditions at home, poor soil, lack of farming land. Evidently Norwegians greatly dislike Swedes (former rulers) and Swedes think the rest of Scandinavians are inferior, stupid, etc. Don’t even mention Finns, who are not Scandinavians. Some also came to the US, northern Michigan/Wisconsin.
Small populations keep that area out of sight, mostly. Self hating leftist Swedes grew very tiresome lecturing Americans about “tolerance” etc. But see, now they have their own ghettos and No Go areas. At least the food there might improve, though “African cuisine” is always a tough sell.

Swedes never dominated Denmark it was usually the other way around with some occasions of successful Swedish military invasions of Denmark during Sweden’s golden age that were resolved with Denmark ceding Swedish territory back to Sweden.
Denmark is a very lucky country. Despite being entirely flat, small and sharing a border with Germany it retained it’s independence. A unified Germany being a historical oddity probably played the biggest role there but still, lucky.
Old-time Sweden was not a nice country to have as a neighbor.

(Hurt) We have invaded Denmark too.
As it happens, 362 years ago nearly to the day, on February 15, 1658, the Danish king surrendered unconditionally after a Swedish lightning campaign of six weeks marching across the ice that connected the islands of Denmark (because it was the Little Ice Age); on February 26 the Peace of Roskilde had been negotiated, gaining Sweden Skåne, Blekinge, Halland, Bohuslän, Bornholm and the district of Trondheim. (The latter two were returned after we lost the subsequent war in 1660.)

Never forget never forgive that Gunnar Myrdal a Swedish communist wrote the book “ An American Dilemma “. That book advocated school desegregation the only means to end the racial problems in America.
That scumbag’s book was used by the Jewish attorneys and plaintiff of Brown vs Topeka to integrate the schools.
Myrdal’s book claimed that American blacks were just mis understood Angels. The only reason Americans were so mean and discriminatory to blacks was because all American parents told their children that blacks were bad and nasty and dangerous.
Myrdal’s Esther Brown’s and the rest of the Jewish attorneys of Brown vs Topeka used that book to convince the Supreme Court and evil liberals to integrate the public schools.
We all know how that turned out. The Jewish attorneys desegregated the schools and White Asian and Hispanic children learned the truth about black children. Black children are dumb border line retarded vicious bullies. And loud.
An American Dilemma by Swedish communist was the catalyst that destroyed the American public school system and subjected millions of White children to 12 years of verbal and physical abuse by the black thugs in the compulsory gulags.
For that book alone, Sweden should be boycotted by all Americans.
There was one group of blacks Myrdal didn’t praise. The black clergy because communists are atheists.

Profoundly deceitful commercial. Implying there is no culture in Scandinavia is wrong. Cultural synthesis isn’t simply “copying.”
The log cabin – an icon of the early American frontier – came from some of the earliest immigrants from Scandinavia (Sweden, I think.) This would’ve been in the 17th century (there were actually a few Scandinavians at Jamestown. Poles, too.)

Slash and burn is the most obvious way to turn untouched forests into farmland. If the East Finnish areas of Sweden hadn't been taken by Russia the United States and Canada would have likely been flooded with Eastern Finns who had an extremely high birth rate (which ended up overshooting the population and turned into big 19th century famines) but migration from Russia was limited.

So bloody what? Let’s suppose you are the drama teacher at a secondary school (like George Orwell was once upon a time) and you are putting on a Shakespeare play this year. People build the scenery and paint it. Mothers sew costumes. You put out a casting call to audition for parts, but you turn down all the black or indian kids who want to be in the school play, because there are no parts for blacks or Indians, unless you are doing Othello, in which case there is one part.
No comparison? Well, putting on TV dramas is just a way some of us entertain ourselves within our community on long winter evenings, so why should anyone be left out? People are not stupid, they know that Henry V’s army did not have a bunch of black boy archers, but those boys enjoy dressing up and having bows and killing Frenchies, and the nonwhite actors and actresses enjoy dressing up, performing, getting paid, and being on TV.
I can see casting nonwhites in fantasy that’s not set on earth. Who knows what genetics works in the world of The Witcher? But Once Upon a Time cast blacks as King Arthur, Lancelot, etc. Sure, King Arthur wasn’t real, but he’s not a black in the legends. It ruined an entire season.
Blacks should be cast in period pieces set in Africa, or slavery. Subcons should be cast in roles where the character is a subcon. I’m flexible though. Cast a Jamaican as an African.

This is massive, massive kakka! SAS is losing ridership. Losing to fares by Finnair, Icelandair, Norway’s 2 lines. So, they are trying to appeal to races-other-than-white. Why? Icelandair is the leader of obliterating the Nordic countries’ ridiculously high fares in the 80’s into the 2000’s. Icelandair is the “Greyhound/Trailways” of Scandinavia. I flew on this airline for 20 years because I could fly my brood for under $3000 (family) RT.
Finnair saw this early (Icy grabbing the tourists and all): they started to allow passengers to fly in & out of different cities (not allowed by all Northern European carriers for decades…when one purchased RT tix!)
And, Finnair, realigned their pricing in 2013: First Class/Buiz/Main Cabin/Student – however, now 1st & Buiz are the same. My son flew RT (recently) from HKI to Japan for $300; youth flight, good until 28 yrs old! Finnair also, very early, made a direct, easy connection for buiz people from America to Japan. Korea, China, Singapore, Arab countries. You arrive in HKI, have a choice to sleep, or continue on the new jets they designed for these airports. This happened when 1992 destroyed the Finnish economy…and, after a couple of years, Finns knew Asia was gonna be yuge.
Norway was freaked-out by Icelandair’s success and good fortune (Iceland is unique & beautiful) so, Norway came up with a cheap flight; they maintain their deal with SAS but, it’s gonna splinter soon, as travel to Sweden has plummeted.
Norway had the Olympics; Norway has fjords and loneliness,; Vikings series has been so popular.

I’m saying actors of any race should be able to play any character, if the actor has enough passion and they want to get paid.
But to be blunt — your commenting history absolutely suggests you would lack the bloody balls to defend a full white casting of Porgy and Bess, no matter what the actors passion, for example.
Which means you are indeed a de facto asymmetrical multiculturalist. Which is not surprising.
Similar propaganda is produced in every single Western nation. Is there any Western country where the elites are proud of their nation's history and cultural heritage? Maybe Italy?Replies: @Hail
The good news is, there are now significant dissident elites in all, or almost all, western countries which reject the soft-genocide consensus. The bad news is, they hold few of the cards and might get Milosevic’ed if ever in power.
I can see casting nonwhites in fantasy that’s not set on earth. Who knows what genetics works in the world of The Witcher? But Once Upon a Time cast blacks as King Arthur, Lancelot, etc. Sure, King Arthur wasn’t real, but he’s not a black in the legends. It ruined an entire season.
Blacks should be cast in period pieces set in Africa, or slavery. Subcons should be cast in roles where the character is a subcon. I’m flexible though. Cast a Jamaican as an African. Bangladeshis can play Pakistanis in my book. Sure, that reduces the roles for blacks in British media, but they only recently washed up there, and don’t fit in. Putting them as British people in the past is dishonest propaganda, and is yet another way they’re being shoved down our throats.Replies: @Dube
One can, at least some of the time, take the view that acting is acting and that’s the art of it. That would be more in studio work than box office. But prior to the recent ubiquity of aggressive presentations there have been good mixed-race productions in which the diverse appearances have only emphasized the craft of character.
Perhaps this airline makes money off of Scandinavian, whatever that means, government workers who Scandinavian, whatever that is, taxpayers send on jaunts around the world and business travelers who really DON'T have a choice when they fly, plus the occasional last-minute premium fare for one of Greta Thunberg's sailing crews, after they drop her off at the slip.
Still, this is not the best of ad campaigns, but what do I know, I bought a can of New Coke one time. Ask Steve Sailer before you make one of these commercials next time.Replies: @Hail
They’re saying that the anti-Scandinavian SAS ad is the handiwork of a Robert Cerkez, Creative Director at the “& Co.” ad agency on Copenhagen.
Based on his name and appearance, he is of Middle Eastern origin.
Scant info online but Cerkez claims to have been born in Sweden. One look at him and no way is he fully-Scandinavian. Do a search for Cerkez and you’ll see it points to an ethnic group with most of its members resident in Turkey. The several references to real-culture Islamic/Mideast peoples originating things that those no-real-culture-losers called Scandinavians copied…makes a little more sense.
Here is Robert Cerkez, reputedly the man behind the “What is Truly Scandinavian? Absolutely Nothing” ad:
Someone leaked/posted the rest of the staff list of the & Co. ad agency that produced this shockingly anti-European, soft-genocide film.
It’s unclear who worked on the project exactly, but most of the names are those of White Scandinavians. They should have resigned rather than continue to work on this film. A short-film designed deliberately to humiliate, and that pushes cultural- and ethnic-genocide. Maybe most of the underling Whites people at & Co. didn’t know that the final product would be something that, one day, could make an appearance at a genocide trial.
The SAS anti-Scandinavian hate-film quickly became one of the most-disliked Youtube videos of all time, at least measured by Like-to-Dislike ratio.
The score, as of this writing:
– 52,000 Dislikes
– 2,500 Likes
(95.5% Dislikes.)
(Note that for a portion of the last 48 hours, the video was set to private. A panicked SAS marketing staff, at around the 15,000 Dislike-mark, set it to private, and news agencies started reporting the ad was “pulled,” though it came back later. Many views/dislikes during this period went to reuploaded versions; angry comments, which were turned off on this “Absolutely Nothing is Scandinavian” video well before the 10,000-Dislike mark, were flowing onto previous SAS uploads, as well as the copies uploaded by other users.)
If you head over to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-disliked_YouTube_videos , you’ll see that the most-disliked videos recorded there, in terms of Dislike Percentage, are 98%, 94.5%, 94%, 94%, 86.5%.
Two of these in the top-five were titled “How Many Dislikes Can This Video Get?” by somebody and “Can this video get 1 million dislikes?” by star social-media personality PewDiePie.
And in case you are wondering, that notorious Gillette Razors ad from last year, the one that attacked men and whites, is on the list. It now has 1,570,000 Dislikes (original/official version), and a Dislike Percentage of 66%.

Twitter locks-in link text on the first version of a website or Youtube link. This is unfortunate for SAS in this case because it shows SAS changed the video’s description after the huge pushback started coming and it shows SAS in retreat over this ad, of which many Youtube commenters said it made them “feel sick.”
The description was originally as follows (confirm by viewing the embed text at Twitter):
It is now this:
Note the revised version is much softer; the original version seemingly one of the many things in/about the “ad” that were designed specifically to provoke/humiliate.
Note also that 48 hours after releasing the first version, they released an edited 45-second version with most of the most incendiary anti-Scandinavian and pro-Black/Muslim content omitted. Clear concessions to the overwhelmingly negative reaction they were getting.

I’m always glad when somebody likes this picture. I have it around now for decades in this small reproduction, and it still gives me thrills at times. This thing is a soul mate of mine! – Psychologically, now that I write about it: I almost suffocated as a three-year-old. I loved to hold my breath when I was 14 or 15 – we did it as a competition at school, during classes – 3 to 4 minutes. That was quite fun. The teachers realized at times that something is going on, but they could not see, what it was, that had made our heads look like red light bulbs and made us gasp and chuckle. Our tables in the class room stood in U form, so we could see each other well while performing our tricks.
That said – : – You’re right, the painting is not realistic. I’d say, it is rather dreamlike. Theatrical, too. The young women might have an inner monologue like this: Now that I can imagine what it is like to drown, I have to say: If I would, I definitely would not call Bad for help…

The log cabin builders in the short-lived New Sweden colony were ethnic Finns from eastern areas where slash and burn farming was common. Traditional East Finnish log cabins were meant for that lifestyle where extended families get together to build in places far from established towns and infrastructure so it’s a natural fit for the frontier.
Slash and burn is the most obvious way to turn untouched forests into farmland. If the East Finnish areas of Sweden hadn’t been taken by Russia the United States and Canada would have likely been flooded with Eastern Finns who had an extremely high birth rate (which ended up overshooting the population and turned into big 19th century famines) but migration from Russia was limited.

King himself said:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
So it would be more important for an actor to catch the essential character of King, rather than just look like him. And what is wrong with putting on make-up? Acting is all dressing up and pretending to be someone else so as to tell a story. If Tony Hopkins was going to star in a biopic of Donald Trump wouldn’t he put on put on orange make-up and a blonde wig, put lifts in his shoes and put on his best American accent?
Of course, it is more a financial issue–an actors’ union issue. Actors who play lead roles in major movies make a lot of money, and every person who gets a gig is depriving others of that gig and the money and fame that goes with it. Black actors would obviously prefer to have first shot at playing famous black people.
Note King spoke many words before and after his speech at the Lincoln Memorial -- stirring colorblind words indeed, but somewhat empty considering the fact he supported the equivalent of affirmative action, which is pretty much the employment equivalent of of asymmetrical multiculturalism. So I'm not surprised you quote him.
I’m not interested in what black actors would prefer — their preference means no more to me than that of white actors who would prefer to be given first shot at roles that historically would be white. You didn’t seem too concerned about the white actors preference, or financial situation, in your first comment. But you sure seemed passionate about acting being diverse… especially in one direction — against the majority in this country.

The ad has now been “temporarily” pulled.
Establishment damage control says that the negative response to the SAS ad campaign is the doing of the hacker known as 4chan (cf only Russians voting for Trump), but a based anon flying Korean colors posted these screengrabs (at bottom) representing many, many more people on Facebook, who are probably normies, and too numerous to all be from a Mongolian basket weaving forum. 4chan threads have a count of unique posters at the bottom, typical numbers would be around twenty; the backlash to these ads was massive. The evidence that 4chan is primarily “responsible” is the claimed counted number of threads started about this: “more than a dozen.” On 4chan all the time threads are started, some illegitimate (from disruptive outsiders), some continuous (Corona Virus General, Virginia General) and years old (Syria General, President Trump General). I can start twelve threads in twelve minutes, and the flooding of the board with zero quality spam or writing prompt threads is a known disruption tactic which takes space away from legitimate discission. The number of threads is a dumb criterion to rely upon.
Fringe alt-righters? Fringe even to the copyrighted alt-right? So with Mandy Flores instead of Richard Spencer?
Denmark white, European, and Nordic? That’s a bigoted notion?
What? How is that word there? How is racial supremacy illustrated in an airline ad, apart from exactly what SAS did? If a South African airline ad did not include a single black person, that would be supremacist, and it would definitely be called such. How is eliminating Danes from Denmark not supremacist, and how would showing Danes in Denmark be supremacist?
“Source: my empty skull.”
As seen in the video — oh wait, that last assertion is perfectly impossible to prove, and unimportant considering the huge response.
Confronted with Americans supporting Trump, call them Russians. Confronted with a truly widespread and diverse rejection of an ad campaign you knew damn well to be self-righteous, aggressive, and divisive, say that it’s just a Cambodian pottery enthusiast chatboard.

I hope this agency has the contract for Berlin’s Brandenburg Airport.
That institution was inadvertently given an IATA code already in use for Biju Patnaik airport in Bhubaneswar on the Bay of Bengal.
This was unfair. Bhubaneswar has certain features lacking at Brandenburg, e.g., passengers and flights.
They’ve renamed Brandenburg for Willy Brandt. But Brandt’s people are considering revoking permission, as it’s getting embarrassing.
I think it should be named for Alfredo di Mauro:

In this narrow sense, the narrative SAS pushes is correct.
However, they take the basic outlines of a more complicated history and run amok with it, inventing history out of whole cloth to suit contemporary political objectives in a way that is obviously bonkers. I find myself battling ‘hard essentialists’ a lot these days, people who wallow in the mysticism that Sweden was an isolated kingdom which arose to richness out of its labour, unhindered and unbothered by the outside world. Those misguided ideas are a lot more prone to proliferate when the standard narrative is one which SAS is pushing, which it often is.Replies: @Anonymous, @Almost Missouri
The ‘essentialists’ may be wrong in details but their attitude is right. If Europeans are going to survive this century they need to start thinking like other races, in particular they need to realize that in human affairs there is no such thing as objective truth. A thing is true or false depending on whether it harms or helps your people. People who promote harmful ideas are therefore liars, or madmen, and need to be treated as such.

Do any Swedes today still remember Olaus Rudbeck, ancestor of Alfred Nobel, among others? He was an accomplished anatomist, and also a Swedish nationalist, who makes today’s “hard essentialists” seem like pansies. Rudbeck considered Swedes to be the original Atlanteans and to have propagated every blessing of civilization to the world. Edward Gibbon (somewhat sarcastically) summarized Olaus’s theses thus:
Whatever. But the point is: from “invented everything” to “invented nothing” in 300 years. Is that the standard epicycle radius now? I lose track.
