Hey, I don't know how to say this but I have to thank you a lot for existing.
If I hadn't discovered your channel my life would've been very different, and probably for the worse.
Thanks for helping me become my own person, and forming my own opinions around things. And to start thinking critically, even about the things you say.
I am now much more self-aware with a stronger desire to follow my dreams.
This would've never happened without you, because I used to be a braindead sheep.
Sure, I might still be a jizzbucket for others in some regards, but now I'm aware of it at least. And that's all I ask.
Thanks to you I've also started discussing serious social issues in school, which I didn't do before out of fear to be called racist.
From the beginning many were afraid to speak their true opinions, and just said what was "correct".
So when I started escalating people got surprised.
But with time everyone started feeling more and more comfortable with expressing themselves, especially when I'd started.
In other words, I've managed to change the climate in my class, from being full of fear and political correctness, to openness and honesty.
Me and my friends now feel more comfortable openly discussing uncomfortable topics.
We also discuss your videos, like if your arguments are waterproof or if they can be remade to become more correct.
I've also begun loving to explore & analyze my own mind, regardless what thoughts lie behind, if they're normal or sick.
It generally feels like I now have more control over my mind, more than I've ever had in my life, and I'm really happy about that.
I'm actually an immigrant like yourself. Fled the war in Iraq when I was 2 and now I'm 16.
When we came to Sweden we had the idea to adapt to Swedish society, but winding up in a ghetto with bad immigrants made us realize it's not easy.
Other immigrants just got mad when we tried to assimilate and called us "swede cunts" and "race traitors".
We finally moved to a different city where we were welcome, since we acted like normal people. Unlike all the criminal jigaboos out there.
Don't misunderstand, I haven't copied all your thoughts.
You've just given me new perspectives on things, and with that I've been able to shape my own opinions.
Now it really feels like I'm a human. Thank you.
This is a PM that's always stood out in my mind, since this is the whole point with my channel.
That one person can make a huge difference, if they dare opening their mouth.
It's not rare that I get messages and comments like this.
"Damn your vids are good! You give me hope about Sweden. If I, a former leftist feminist, now opened my eyes then anyone can."
"I hope your channel just grows!"
Sometimes people write me that and add: "When I first saw you I felt you were a disgusting racist."
But then they realized I had a point! Good argumenation is about planting a seed, then letting reality prove your point for you.
Nobody will change their entire worldview over night, regardless how good arguments are presented.
People need time to digest the information they've consumed, and allow your perspective to adapt at a medium pace.
Often this happens subconsciously. People usually have to endure a process.
Where they take in something new, and then compare with what they see in their day to day life.
And that can take time, so patience is important.
But when I started making videos I didn't know this, so I almost shut down my channel right away.
Because I felt I wasn't seeing results fast enough. But then a buddy explained that this is how people work.
And it engrained hope, and eventually I noticed he was right.
So patience is important when dealing with people, don't feel hopeless. Because the only one who benefits from your hopelessness is your adversaries.
Keep that in mind before dismissing Sweden's future.
"You've inspired a lot of great discussions with friends, but also made sure the whole teaching staff hates me for standing up for my opinions."
"We don't share opinions 100% but I still wanna thank you for awakening a big interest for politics in me, cirka 3 years ago."
And I wanna thank you for driving teachers crazy, because most teachers are dumb communist asses.
Don't overrate the value of school. If you fuck up with grades you still got Komvux, and jobs in Sweden is something you get through connections. Not grades.
Ida Svensson says:
"Your vids have made me start discussions with teachers and acquaintances, but I always lose even though I have statistics and facts on my side."
"They refuse to see that their arguments don't hold up. Teachers get pissed, and so do associates."
"Talking to PC-people leads nowhere."
"For example one teacher said women and men don't get paid the same. I showed her statistics proving otherwise."
"She looked and said it was wrong anyway, and that you can't find that out through statistics."
"It's scary people like that get to work as teachers. What the hell do you do about this?"
You keep going. Because the alternative isn't to consider, should you stop being right cuz everyone else is wrong?
It's also about you. How do you think it affects your self-esteem to not stand up for who you are?
Because what you think and feel is part of you, your values. You get stronger, and feel better, by not relying on the validation of others.
Being able to speak and express yourself isn't just about politics. It's about having a better life.
It's about improving your relations to others, because communication is the base of every relationship. Including the one to yourself.
I've talked about this before in my guide to improving rhetoric, check it out, it goes deep and explains how it all works.
Being able to express yourself enhances your quality of life. Even when it creates conflicts, because it shows you that you're stronger than you thought.
And let's make this clear Ida, you didn't lose.
You presented facts that can't be argued, that the person went into denial-mode is something else.
And it might feel like it led nowhere, but you don't know for sure, because like I said: It's about planting a seed.
And even if you don't manage to reach the person you're debating, and widen their perspective, you can still reach the people standing around watching.
For example, let me show you this PM from another person.
"A few years ago you were considered the most controversial person in Sweden with your controversial videos/posts."
"I specifically recall a Facebook-post you made, and my extremely leftist friend tried to debate you. But you buttfucked him upside down."
"I was on his side but after your replies I had a change of heart. Partially cuz my friend is dumb but also because of your answers."
"Fast forward and I've now opened my eyes and gotten critical about what the media says and how my friends think."
"Another of my friends shared one of your vids on Facebook, and I thought: 'He's retarded, how can he share something from that madman?' "
"So I watched the video and got your point. I then decided to watch more vids, and the more I watched the more I laughed and realised you have many good points"
"Fast forward even more, and after much cannabis and youtube-videos I wanna say thanks. Thanks for doing what you do."
"You're a big inspiration and people like you make me wanna keep fighting political correctness."
"You've really inspired me to be critical of everything and your videos make days brighter. Keep being you and thanks for everything."
As you can see here, he used to be radical left but something as little as a Facebook-debate planted a seed, which developed to something greater long-term.
His friend is a ditz so he probably wasn't affected by our debate, but people around him did. The ditz's friend, who sent me this message, had a change of heart.
And that shows how the point of debate shouldn't be to win over the one you're debating. The point is to show other people that there's a different outlook.
And that's why it's important to take the debate. Ida said it's scary how braindead people get to work as teachers. I agree. That's why students have to speak up!
So other students lose trust in that teacher too. That's why it's important to point out stupidity wherever you see it.
To wake the silent masses watching. Those who aren't as radical. Because radicals are always in minority.
If you can wake up the silent masses, they will stop taking that minority seriously.
Because you've explained why they're full of shit, and thus their power disappears one red pill at a time.
Fredriks message also shows why it's important to share videos, because that worked as planting seeds as well.
Here's another example: "Hi. I'm a soon-to-be-20 liberal feminist who felt I needed to send you a message. I'm sorry, and thank you."
"I'm feminist and trans so I take questions about gender really seriously. But I've also spent a long time in the echo chamber."
"I'd seen one or two of your vids and thought "yuck, another damn racist", then not reflected more on it."
"But today I decided to challenge my prejudice and started watching lots of your vids."
"Mostly because debates with a friend, whom I disagree with on plenty, has taught me to knock down the walls more and more."
"So I get a town square with a podium instead of a hallway with fixed microphone."
"I wanna apologize for my prejudice and thank you for helping me knock down the last walls."
"I agree on some things you say, not others, but that's irrelevant. Because you present your opinions well-structured with good research."
"And you face the different opinions, which is more than many are doing in Sweden today."
As you can see here it's really important to dare take uncomfortable debates with people.
Because it's precisely that which got this person to give me a second chance, and listen to me.
She describes how a close friend, whom she disagrees with, helped her knock down her walls one small step at a time.
And ultimately that lead to her daring to look deeper into my videos.
And if the person was willing to do that with me, they'll probably do it with others too.
So you could say one person, who dared taking uncomfortable debates, managed to shape a liberal tranny to become as open-minded.
But of course it could've just ended with this feminist tranny shitting her pants and disowning the friend too. That happens.
But in that case they're just not ready to become open-minded yet, they need more time.
And you shouldn't put up with them until then. If someone stops being friends with you because of your opinions, just be happy about it.
Because that friendship would've never lasted in the long run anyway. It might've felt good, but it wasn't real.
Real friendship is being able to have real conversations. Not just having someone to waste time with.
I also gotta say, it's not just important to speak. But it's also how you speak, how you debate.
If you're well-read on an issue you get confident automatically, because you know what to say.
And if you treat people with respect, you go very far. Obviously you shouldn't do what I do in my videos.
Don't call people jizzbuckets. What I do is performance art, I'm not a role model.
I remember this other guy, a young guy that wrote me and wanted help with debating.
He was gonna have a seminar, and last time it didn't go well.
Because the lefties in his class are very good with bullying tactics and emotional blackmail. Labeling people to make them feel evil.
So my tips were
(Dog started barking and I thought it picked up on camera)
I'm gonna eat that fucking dog.
I'm gonna fucking capture it, and cook it. I get SO pissed off at...ouh
Anyway. So my tips to him were to not get defensive. Don't let them set the basis for the entire conversation.
Attack is the best defense. And if they use moral arguments and emotional ones, simply point out that they're doing that.
And then you redirect focus with better, relevant arguments instead.
And the result was this.
"The last seminar I was very unprepared and didn't know the best way to express my opinion. But Trumps technique worked."
"The teacher got withdrawn when he was questioned, and the leftist students as well. Being the one who asks the question is a very effective way."
"And when I said they were using moral arguments in a discussion about companies, who can't have morality since their purpose is profit, they got quiet."
"I just don't think I could've gotten so far without the perk I had when you told me to redirect focus. The fact-based arguments won over the emotional ones."
You can't express yourself with fear. If you stand your ground you show that: "I have read up. I know what I'm talking about."
And being able to give that impression makes it easier to convince people.
So you should be self-analytical and take an honest, objective look at yourself.
And ask: "What am I doing?" when you discuss with people. How am I acting?
And then just dare to be honest, and see things for what they are. Not what you want them to be. And adjust accordingly.
It's hard for me to give general debating tips tho, since there's so many different techniques. So I think you should take the time to look into it yourselves.
Do careful research, google up info, and see what works best for you. Since everyone is different.
So try different things when you're debating, and don't be afraid to embarrass yourself. That's just good. Because mistakes are good, that's how you learn.
When you learn what doesn't work, you get one step closer to figuring out what actually works.
You need to take risks, otherwise you can't win big. And the following is a good example of that.
This young guy wrote me to tell about a English presentation he had, partially based on one of my vids.
He lives in a city where all women under 25 are feminists, 2/3 of his class are girls,
and his English teacher brags about how he's the most "feminist communist person the students will ever meet."
And he brags like this even though teachers must be apolitical by law. So that says something.
And all his teachers and classmates talk about how SD are nazis. And I quote:
"I was 100% sure my teacher would give me an E even though the speech met all requirements for an A. But I got a B, so that's cool."
"Even though he's so communist he complimented me on speaking about controversial issues."
"The funny thing about my speech is that I adress how feminism is retarded."
"Every time we have speeches all women talk about how oppressed they are in patriarchy."
"And the girl who spoke to the class before me talked about her wage discrimination at work, and how all girls she knows get discriminated."
"And right after that I hold a speech about how women don't get discriminated, and she looked so pissed throughout the whole presentation hahaha"
"Then later in the week 6 girls from class approached me to say that #MeToo is the best thing that's happened to women, and humanity as a whole."
If I got to choose, I'd say that technology and science is the best that's happened mankind.
Not a fucking hashtag. But I'm not a stupid cumbucket, so what do I know?
"The girls from class also said my speech creates sexism. To which I happily responded: Thanks, that's warming."
This guy did everything right. He recorded his grade talk with the teacher, so he'd have proof if anything went bad.
So he can contact the School Inspection, they investigate teachers who break the law and it totally breaks the law to be partisan in teaching and grading.
He was autistic with his list of sources, which makes it hard to prove him wrong.
This triggers the radicals, which is fun, and enlightens the silent masses. Which empowers democracy.
And when it comes to the teeny boppers with sand in their cunts, when he said: "Thanks, it's warming" he disarmed their attack completely.
Because you can't shame those who lack shame.
That is how you adress that low level of communication. That's how you beat them. Respond with a smile and keep having a nice day.
That way they lose power. And that is the wisdom of Autist Buddha.
Remember Autist Buddha?
"You know you look like the biggest misogynist on Facebook huh? Especially since you're sharing content from Swedens most hated antifeminist"
To which he replies: "Or Swedens most loved antifeminist. Both descriptions probably apply."
I love how this dude is getting attacked on all fronts, several people jump into the thread and start bashing him
But he just keeps calm and responds with logic and wittyness. He's like an autistic buddha.
This is an ideal! You can learn from this guy!
He's like an autistic buddha...
Autist buddha, has no shame in body
Has no shame in mind Has no shame in penis
Autist buddha, has no shame in body
No shame in his body! No shame in his body!
Autist Buddha reincarnates in every white CIS-male that realizes his privilege, as human, with the capacity for critical thinking and common sense.
I read this guys speech btw, and it was crazy taboo. He destroys the myth of the wage gap and talks about how immigrants rape more than Swedes.
But he does it nicely, with sources, and a strong message. So it's hard to argue without appearing stupid.
It ends with him getting a good grade, because that's what happens when you have poise, and show that your words come from the right place.
Always do what you do with consideration to empathy, justice and truth.
Another fun comment I got was this: "Hi! Today I showed your video on source critique for my class."
"My Swedish teacher agrees that mainstream media can do fake news too, only thing she disagrees on is that it's important to know who wrote the article."
"I thought I'd get called racist and get tons of shit, but everyone in class liked the video."
"So I'll be showing more videos for them in the future."
If a teacher is willing to play one of my videos for class, and even agrees on some points, our country is far from fucked.
I know I often just criticize and complain in my videos, but I take it for granted you know I do this for a reason.
I wouldn't even make videos about our problems in Sweden, if I didn't think these problems could be solved.
Some think society can only be changed through parliament, but that's bullshit. Swedes are just braindamaged by bureaucracy culture.
Swedes are the most antisocial people on earth. Which I like, because I don't wanna sit next to anyone on the bus. But it also makes some people ignorant.
Because they don't understand how much you can accomplish just by daring to speak.
Change occurs through words and actions. Speaking is an action.
And now you've seen a small glimpse of how much I've changed just by talking.
Which lead to others having courage and the tools to change, by talking themselves.
You can do this too. People you meet in real life can be just as inspirational as any youtuber.
Inspiration comes from the courage of raw honesty and a positive attitude.
But of course, outspokenness doesn't always give as good results as I've shown in this video.
Sometimes people just get pissed, teacher gives you worse grades and you get fired.
But that's why we have welfare! And if the welfare office doesn't wanna give you money, just rob a rich pig.
Then turn yourself in, and you'll get free food and housing. Prison is just another word for welfare.
