Trouble in socialist paradise
By Simon Black: Anytime a free market guy rails against central planning and
socialism, there is always someone who stands up and says “what about
Sweden?”
Ah, Sweden… a socialist’s paradise… a place where taxes are among the highest in the world, few people are wealthy, and the government is involved in people’s lives from cradle to grave.
And in all of these government surveys on ‘happiness’, places like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark consistently rank among the happiest countries in the world.
Well… the veneer is cracking.
Though the coverage has been limited, there’s been rioting in Sweden over the past week, specifically in the immigrant-dense suburbs around Stockholm where 80% of the population are first or second-generation immigrants.

The Slog: The constitutional braindeath at the heart of the
Conservative Party gets more depressing with every month that passes.
Labour under Blair and Brown were no better – and I have no doubt at all
that the ‘advisers’ in the Ed Miller Band are just as thick – but it is the Tory Party that’s in power, and as right now they’re
the ones vandalising the Rule of Law and Equality before the Law, they
are obviously the people to fire at. With these clowns in charge, one
simply couldn’t miss.The man at the top of the ironically named Ministry of Justice these days is Christopher Grayling.
14-year-old put in chokehold by US Brown shirts, charged with felony after giving mercenaries ‘dehumanizing stares’
By Madison Ruppert: A 14-year-old was choked by Miami-Dade police and charged
with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and disorderly
conduct, all for giving police “dehumanizing stares,” clenching his
fists and appearing threatening.
Unfortunately, it’s not all that rare for teens to be brutalized or even killed by police in the United States. There also seems to be something about police in Florida being especially violent for no apparent reason as they were when they beat a 66-year-old and when they murdered Nick Christie.
The incident occurred on Haulover Beach in Miami, Florida on Memorial Day morning after police said they saw Tremaine McMillian slamming another teenager on the sand.

Is This Why Social Unrest In Europe Has Been Subdued (For Now)?
Submitted by Tyler Durden: When even the political elite are voicing concerns about the possible social implications of youth unemployment rates in Europe being so egregiously high, you know that there are problems. The question many have is that until now riots have been few and far between (most notably Sweden and Switzerland recently); so why are the main areas of massive unemployment not seeing the widespread chaos? The answer, perhaps unsurprisingly, is in government handouts but as Stratfor notes,
time is running out for the benefit-beholden generation.

When Men Experience Sexism
Noah Berlatsky: Can men be victims of sexism?
An NPR Morning Edition report this week suggests strongly that the answer is "yes." As Jennifer Ludden reports, after divorce men can face burdensome alimony payments even in situations where their ex-wives are capable of working and earning a substantial income. Even in cases where temporary alimony makes sense—as when a spouse has quit a job to raise the children—it's hard to understand the need for lifetime alimony payments, given women's current levels of workforce participation. As one alimony-paying ex-husband says, "The theory behind this was fine back in the '50s, when everybody was a housewife and stayed home." But today, it looks like an antiquated perpetuation of retrograde gender roles—a perpetuation which, disproportionately, harms men.
This isn't the only case in which men can suffer from gender discrimination. David Benatar, in his 2012 monograph The Second Sexism discusses a whole range of other ways in which men as men are disadvantaged. Men, for example, receive custody of children in only about 10 percent of divorce cases in the United States. Men also, as Benatar writes, are subject to "a long history of social and legal pressure...to fight in war"
