Given cryptographic overlay networks are now hosting their
own full social networking stacks on par with today's social
media (albeit slower due to overhead)... sites, profiles, chat, forums,
multimedia channels, tweets, etc... where uncensored free speech
is widely in effect, and enjoyed and valued... what are the expected
results of such freedom 20 years out?
A trigs-spent calmed-the-fuck-down chilled-out no-longer-triggerable
society having by then seen and worked through all the typical stunts.
A no-stunts-left unoffendable rational society,
evolved away from the problems with FSM systems?
Peace loving cryptoanarchic ungovernment?
An opportunity reachable through uncensorable global conversation?
Or no change at all?
Recall 1988 unhingement around one analysis of one particular FSM...

As to news from today...
Apparently Sweden is now melting down, again, in part after
some free speech has perhaps exposed what many say is
the inherent nature of some "FSM's of peace"...

Sweden: The Violence Is "Extremely Serious"
Authored by Judith Bergman via The Gatestone Institute, 9/9/2020
Things in Sweden have now deteriorated to such a degree
that on August 29, the Swedish police [43]published a
statement titled "The trends in violence are extremely
serious." It said:
"Recently, there have been serious incidents and serious
acts of violence linked to criminal networks, in which
several people have been murdered and others seriously
injured...
"In Stockholm, two people were murdered in the past week,
and in Gothenburg, criminal groups have tried to
demonstrate power by controlling vehicles entering
certain districts. Earlier in August, an innocent
12-year-old girl was murdered... [during a gang
incident], and in other parts of the country there are
conflicts between various criminal networks and other
ruthless crime, as well. On Friday night, a violent riot
also occurred in Malmö where several police officers
were injured..."
Sweden's National Police Chief, Anders Thornberg, made what
sounded like a plea for help from the rest of society:
"Swedish police are in a tough operational situation. It is
now a matter of society joining forces behind the police,"
he [44]said.
"We will continue to fight organized crime with all the
tools we have available. Other good forces in society,
everything from municipal officials and civil society to
law enforcement agencies and not least the general
public, also need to focus on facing the current
situation. The police must ensure that the criminals are
arrested and can be prosecuted. The criminals need to
disappear from our streets and squares so that no more
ruthless crimes are committed...
"The everyday life many police officers face when they go
to work right now is worrying and very tiring. We work
intensively, around the clock, despite this, the severe
violence continues. The police are there 24 hours a day,
365 days a year. We do not give up and we do not back
down, but the situation is currently very stressful."
The police statement did not mention that [45]two
boys were raped, tortured and nearly buried alive in a
cemetery close to Stockholm. The atrocity added to the
growing number of so-called "[46]humiliation crimes". These
are crimes where the victim is not only robbed, but also
violently humiliated to demonstrate the power of the
perpetrator. Another such humiliation crime, for instance,
took place in Gothenburg in October 2019, when a criminal
gang [47]forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's
feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stomped on
his face until he lost consciousness.

"Sweden is losing control of its own territory," Ivar Arpi,
a Swedish columnist, recently [49]told the Danish
newspaper Berlingske Tidende.
"These heinous crimes and humiliations are connected to a
ghetto culture... Journalists do not like to write about
it, politicians do not want to talk about it and
researchers do not want to touch it. There is a
systematic ignorance."
In the riot that took place in Malmö on August 28,
an [50]estimated 300 people burned car tires, shot
fireworks and threw stones at the police. The riot occurred
close to Rosengård, a so-called "vulnerable area",
populated mainly by immigrants. Video footage posted to
social media showed the rioters [51]shouting "[52]Allahu
Akbar" and "[53]Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of
Mohammed is returning" -- a reference to the massacre of
the Jews of Khaybar by the Islamic prophet Mohammed and his
followers in the year 628, in what is today Saudi Arabia.
The Official Council of Swedish Jewish Communities released
a [54]statement in reaction to the riot, saying:
"Unfortunately, this is not the first time a crowd has
chanted similar threats against Jews in Malmö. The
Council of Swedish Jewish Communities takes this incident
extremely seriously and calls on the police and other
responsible authorities to prosecute those individuals
who have thereby committed incitement against an ethnic
group."
[55]According to Swedish media, the riot was a reaction to
the burning of a Koran earlier in the day in one part of
Malmö and the kicking of a Koran in a central square in
the city by followers of the small Danish anti-Islam
party, [56]Stram Kurs. The leader of the party, Rasmus
Paludan, has previously [57]toured Denmark with his
anti-Islam protests.
Paludan's demonstrations frequently feature a "Koran
stunt." In it, he either throws a Koran around, burns it or
puts bacon on it. Dan Park, a Swedish street artist, who
has been [58]convicted of inciting hatred against an
ethnic group, had invited Paludan to Malmö to participate
in a demonstration. Paludan was [59]stopped at the Swedish
border and denied entry by Swedish police,
who [60]told him that he was banned from entering the
country for two years.
"We believe that his actions and freedom of entry would be
a threat to fundamental societal
interests," [61]said Mattias Sigfridsson, Malmö's Acting
Police Chief. Asked whether the decision did not go against
the freedom of expression, Sigfridsson said:
"We see it as the opposite. We do our utmost to protect
the democratic values <U+200B><U+200B>that exist. The public
gathering for which we have denied permission today would
have been a danger to safety and order at the event".
"I think it is those who react to what I do, who constitute
a threat," Paludan [62]told Swedish media. The decision
to ban Paludan's demonstration was upheld by the Swedish
Administrative Court. It held that while the freedom of
assembly and demonstration are constitutionally protected
rights and that there is therefore a very limited scope to
refuse permission to demonstrate, the threat from the
demonstration was so serious that it justified banning him.
The Koran burning that ensued despite the police decision
happened in contravention of the ban. Three
people [63]were arrested and charged with incitement,
reportedly for kicking around a Koran in central Malmö.
In the Gothenburg suburb of Angered, a criminal gang set up
roadblocks and manned them with masked armed men who
checked the identities of people driving in and out of the
area. [64]According to Berlingske Tidende, the
roadblocks were set up by a gang centered around the Ali
Khan family, who deal in financial fraud and other crimes.
The clan has been reported to the police more than 200
times but the police have had to close almost all cases
because the gang threatens the victims and witnesses to
stay silent.
Also recently in Gothenburg, a teacher at the Lövgärdes
School reported two armed men moving around outside the
school and notified the police, but by the time they
arrived the men had disappeared. When the teacher drove
home from school later that day, [65]he was kidnapped and
beaten.
The leader of the main Swedish opposition party,
Moderaterna (The Moderate Party), Ulf Kristersson, now says
that he wants to make it a crime to be member of a gang.
"Several children have died only this year in stabbings and
shootings," Kristersson [66]wrote in a Facebook post.
"This weekend, two boys were subjected to terrible
atrocities in a cemetery in Solna for an entire night. On
Tuesday, a teacher in Gothenburg was kidnapped and beaten
after contacting the police.
"What we now experience almost daily is not normal -- not
for Sweden or for Europe. Almost all of us who live here
know that. The development is destroying Swedish trust
and cohesion, the violence is threatening the system. The
criminal gangs terrorize entire residential areas and
kill children and adults who happen to be in the way.
They set up their own roadblocks and control people's
everyday lives. They are like Sweden's domestic
terrorists -- and must therefore be met with the full
force of our democracy. Pattern-breaking measures that
really lead to change, not just adjustments in the
margin.
"Sweden should start by making it a crime to be part of a
criminal gang, in the same way that it should be a crime
to be part of a terrorist organization. It would thus
give the police new opportunities to act against the
activities we have seen in Gothenburg in recent days,
such as establishing roadblocks or arranging meetings in
which various criminal gangs participate."
In other news, the Västra Skrävlinge church in Malmö was
recently [67]vandalized seven nights in a row. Windows
were smashed and statues broken, including a statue of
Jesus that was smashed to pieces. The perpetrators are
unknown, but the Sweden Democrats Party in Malmö
has [68]asked the Church of Swedish to look deeper into
the matter, adding in a [69]statement:
"Considering the vandalism of Västra Skrävlinge Church
that we have seen and the systematic vandalism we see in
our cemeteries, this is an area that the Church of Sweden
must work with. Unfortunately, there is a grudge against
Christian culture among certain groups and the Church of
Sweden in Malmö cannot be passive while the Christian
cultural heritage is vandalized."
