There are like 7 major political parties in Sweden, and there is a very large counter-culture there as well, as well as many malcontents.

This I have never said. I have said that there's a large counter-culture towards feminism. The welfare system has just as many supporters as it has had for the last 100 years or so here.

Got it.

You are on a site that goes against widely publicized and generally accepted data. Maybe you missed the threads.

Unless we know how the data was gained we shouldn't be accepting any of these prevailing truths as facts.

Not that I am saying berserk's post was factual.

You seem to confuse data with opinion. What generally accepted data are opponents of the manosphere leaning on? Other than trying to out -cream everyone else from the moral high ground I don't see game-denialists and their ilk as particularly factually concerned.

The actual data at hand was from Eurostat. Thus widely publicized and completely open for research.

So, all 7 parties support massive immigration of the third world and the welfare state? Good Luck with that then.

No on the first and yes on the second. Do you have a point?

Also, there are 8 political parties in the riksdag.

Happiness is now something that can be measured within data constructs, eh?

This site tends to take stats like rape stats, women getting lower wages stats, etc with a grain of salt if you're asking for examples.

Stats can be manipulated or downright negligible depending how the data were attained and used.

When the alternative for said data is the opinion of someone on an Internet forum I'll go with what's been measured and presented. You're not even trying to argue the data and deconstruct it, you're just being dogmatic. Dropping clichés like "stats can be manipulated" isn't going to cut it. Individual agendas are far more likely to be subjective and biased than anything that makes it onto Eurostars.

The fact that you think happiness can be measured is hilarious. There is no reason to deconstruct something that is flawed to begin with.

Don't worry, bud, I know how bias you are when it comes to your neck of the world. You are not one to be objective in these matters so it doesn't surprise me you would jump at any data claiming your country is one of the happiest in the world.
