This is also what I immediately thought of bsky.app/profile/jame...

When they come for the Nordics …

As the great granddaughter of Swedish immigrants, I love the idea of empathy being in my gene pool, but history of homesteading and such just doesn’t bear that out.

Uffda! (Celebratory)

My god he is Chevy Chases dad on community.

I dunno, a name like “Rufo” just might put him on ICE’s racial and ethnic purity radar.

this is rich considering Sweden at least is pretty racist towards its many African immigrant residents

What does.he think of Rose Nyland?

cc @marissalingen.bsky.social, this really seems like something you'd appreciate.

Clutching pearls and asking in my best Maggie Smith as Lady Grantham voice “What is “an over-empathizing element?”

*laughing in son/sen/quist*

Typical Italian.

Proud of my fellow Scandinavian-Americans for pissing this guy off 🇳🇴

I don't think race is an element, but culture chauvenism perhaps. I don't know so much about Scandi-American culture, but my impression is that unions and socialist bent culture has indeed been strong in Nordic dominated places

"Be really, really, really white. ...not that way."

Well the secret is out. Scandinavians are the cause of liberal majorities in Minneapolis. Quality of life here is a reflection of those social democracies, which have high levels of happiness.

“There's something about Scandinavian transplant cultures that simultaneously brings an over-empathizing element….” This empathy stuff is their latest pseudo intellectual thing.

Gee. I thought Scandinavians were white! So now they don't like them either? Who does Trump & Co think belongs here?

Also worth mentioning is that the scandal he is referring to is a Trump-era program, and it was Libs who prosecuted the fraud

Holy shit that’s off the rails nuts!

Jesus Christ. What a fucking loser.

Ayfkmwtbs.

I'm in this picture and damn right I like it

Alt-right Viking fetishists really just looped around to the other end of the horseshoe, huh?

Sometimes I wonder if Rufo and Bari Weiss are actually the same person. 🤔

White people standing up for immigrants is breaking their brains.

So he DOESN’T want more people from Norway, is what you’re saying…

🇸🇪 Förlåt så jävla mycket då. Hoppas du får herpes, gubbjävel.

We here in the Seattle area consider Rufo nothing more than a bought and paid for twat. He originally got his start here with the Discovery Institute and he's been an insufferable ass ever since.

That's the best he's got? Accusing me of "over-empathizing"? Wow. This is probably the closest I'll come in my lifetime to being nominated for sainthood.

Lmao.

This is the equivalent of harvesting ancient DNA from mosquitoes preserved in amber, but for racism.

Nä, nu jävlar!

But I thought we wanted more immigrants from Norway?

This explains my crippling empathy. 🇳🇴 38% 🇸🇪 12% 🇩🇰 8%

Nice alt text newsboy ♿️

The narrative he's unknowingly groping towards is that pioneers are historically multiculturalist. Vikings and Mongols were prone to conversions and assimilation. The mythical lone penguin is not, in any outcome, going to reproduce with his own kind.

The MAGAt race to see who can be the most racist is ON. Please pass the popcorn.

Toxic empathy.

But they’re mostly white. Doesn’t that count anymore?

If I ever find this guy in a dark alley I’m going to force feed him five pounds of lutefisk.

@alt-text.bsky.social

This is just anti-lutefisk propaganda.🐟

Unions are becoming more popular - even in the south. ICE is not popular. It’s not that complicated. But yeah - blame it on those crazy Scandinavian lefties lol

Rufo can sück me through my jörts.

All of his “negative” descriptors sound like positives to me. I would also like my city to be an “over-empathized hotbed of anarchy” please and thank you

Chris Rufo is like that kid in class that didn't read the book assigned for the book report, but yet writes a report out of thin air on the bus to school the morning it's due. He's the perfect pseudo-intellect. He knows hot to drop in just enough '-ism' words to impress Fox News and Stephen Miller.

Chris rufo is a massive cunt, I’m not sure why anyone gives a shit what he has to say

Man. I don't think I've every been so proud of my Danish heritage! Did he think this is a criticism? We're empathetic but willing to defend those with whom we empathize?

It's so telling that "over-empathizing" is a thing with these people 🙄

Of course he's pivoting to white immigrants. We've been saying for a while that ALL OF THIS is coming for ALL OF US.

Wait until he finds out where the Rus come from

Видео

I wonder if, once he came down from his pants-wetting bender of frustration, Rufo realized that all the things he names as negative cultural qualities are EXACTLY in line with Christ Jesus' teachings. This is why MAGAts are so abhorrently fake, bad, repulsive excuses for "Christians".

Camp of The Saints nonsense, jesus

That's the news from Lake Woebegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are fighting Nazis in the streets.

Well, that’s interesting (said in Norwegian-American).

“Chris Rufo? The guy from the Ashley Madison leaks?”

My in-laws are Swedish; they don't fit Rufo's stereotype. Please remind me why anyone cares about his opinion.

I hope he’s crying himself to sleep.

"over-empathizing" is the new way of saying "those white people are race traitors" 🤮

An Italian thinks that another European subculture is failing to assimilate in a socially positive way?

More CRT ( Christopher Rufo Theory)

What is with this new blatant strain of “anti-empathy”? Did I miss something? For purported Christians in particular… isn’t this directly antithetical to their whole belief system?’

Chris Rufo is such a miserable freak

Ahhhh...so much White on White violence...tsk tsk...

As a Scandinavian, I like that about us.

*seethes in Norwegian-American* Oh, Geeze Louise.

I simply can’t believe that anyone takes this guy seriously as an intellectual. He sounds like a caricature of HP Lovecraft mixed with Alexander Stephens.

First they came for the Somalis and I stood in the cold outside my kids' school. Then they came for the Latinos and I blew a whistle. Then they came for the Swedes and I . . . started researching Volvos and looking for apartments in Malmo

Benjamin Franklin: “And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth”

Rufo’s claims are not substantiated with any data or facts. And if it wasn’t so distorted and hypocritical it might be funny. Not like “oh that’s funny” more like “ewww the milk smells funny”. Sad commentary by those who have swallowed the cults pill.

"Endemic disorder"??? In other words: "Why are THESE white people not cool with violence against non-white people? Why do they always get so upset about us violating people's rights? We are going to continue our unconstitutional behavior in Minneapolis and Portland and they should just be quiet."

SORRY BITCHES, IT'S OURS AGAIN

Is this the guy Jake Tapper helps and that thanks Jake publicly for the help??

Does this mean I can write my epic fantasy book with a heavy Anglo-Saxon aesthetic without being accused of racism?

Tell Ruffo here’s his real statue at New College that he and his grifting raping racist scum invaded

Hmmm... He should not forget what happened to the stupid guy who said Finland is "very russian", and who traveled to Greenland with Diaper Don's sinful son in order to annex the place.

Oh Rufo’s quite the social conspiracy theorist. Where’s is information from, the dark web.

Don't forget that Rufo is a propagandist first, and a disgusting racist and eugenicist second. He's been wildly successful at putrifying the air we all breathe.

Don't know whether "high density of Scandinavians" or "over-empathizing" is my favorite bit

Also another example of the right wing threatening us with a good time. These horrible stereotypes are EMPATHIC and SOCIALIST oh no

‘Over-empathizing‘!!!

So the problem is Scandinavian IMMIGRANTS?

You know shit's fucked when the far-right are being racist against a group of people that the fucking Nazis considered part of their "master race". Like, I figured Nordic people were one of the last demographics that'd be forced into the out-group, but here we are I guess.

Over-empathizing?? You're too kind, Chris. ...oh, no, wait, I am – I'm Norwegian!

As the grandchild of a perfidious Swede from Minneapolis, I approve this message

Oh Jesus fuck. The ONLY reason there is disorder and chaos is because ICE will not leave. Remove ICE and go back to following the money to find the fraud and the disruption will stop.

I get a powerful "wish I could use the n-word instead of Somalis" vibe by Rufo in this contemptuous & transparently racist screed.

He says that like it’s a bad thing.

Maybe the plan is to eventually deport anyone that can't afford a Trump gold visa

Wow, he's being racist against some of the most white people to ever white people?

Sneaky Swedes, Nutty Norskies and Dodgy Danes!

They won't come to Seattle because it's got hills most of the "agents" would call mountains and is significantly larger than Minneapolis.

People forget that even here in "progressive Sweden", one or two generations ago, it was normal to even be racist to people from Finland (historical part of Sweden). The royal family were nazi-sympathizers. Scandinavia wasn't famous for any of that when the big migration to the US happened.

Funny. Some conservative, right wing, anti-democracy fascist, a Mr. Rufo, ponders why "disorder plagues Minneapolis." Deduces it's because of the large number of Americans of Scandinavian descent living there, also the usual suspects: labor unions, left economic sentiment, progressives, that sort.

Woops.

Which is weird, usually racists are all over the Nordic thing.

Wait. I thought Scandinavians were the “good immigrants”

⚓👶🏻Rufo?

I didn’t realize my church-going Swedish great-grandmother was such a hell-raiser!

As a Swede im not sure how I feel about this honestly. Should I be offended or just proud that he hates on us for being progressive?

I love this for us, honestly

I think this is quite rude.

So rufo is a fascist because he had Italian ancestors, then?

When the Civil War breaks out PLEASE let me have chris rufo 1 v 1

Clearly, Rufo doesn't support "white" people, just "off-white" people.

Among other things, the only radicalized Americans are found in his cohort. If this guy had been alive during the revolutionary war, he'd've run off to Canada in loyalty to the mad king.

The ICE guys do not understand how much passive aggression they are getting themselves into.

Who is going to tell him about the German transplant culture in Minnesota? How is he going to spin that one?

He was living in the "The People's Republic of Fremont" with his Thai-immigrant wife Suphatra Paravichai, just over the hill from lutefisk loving Ballard.

does this give us permission to be anti-Italian, the founders of fascism

Certainly there is a True Whiteman out here. I mean Scotsman. I mean Englishman. I mean German! I mean uuhh wait fuck who's white again???

Sacco and Vanzetti enter the chat.

I still don't understand why so many continue to read stupid people writing stupid stuff? Then you post it here, to have more people read stupid stuff by a stupid person, and then 2,000 people liking a post about stupid stuff written by a stupid person

LMAO. I can finally go to the Scandinavian Fest without worrying that it's white supremacist coded.

“Scandinavian transplant cultures”. Er. Like Vikings/Normans?

This dude is Curtis Yarvin stupid.

I thought Trump liked these countries because they are anti-shithole?

Or else a lot of them have grandparents who have told them about living in a nazi occupied country and don't want to be shameful quisling boot lickers

"Endemic disorder" fuck off, Chris. There was no disorder before ICE and other feds came to terrorize the community and there'll be none after they leave.

He apparently did not like the "WE SHOULD BE LIKE SWEDEN" statements during the 2010s

the 'over-empathising element.'

The over-empathizing element really needs to be stopped at the border!

Rufo is such a weird, twisted guy. There's just such a stench of moral gangrene about him

That may be the dumbest thing ever written

Valhalla is definitely socialist and woke.

The well-known lutefisk > far-left agitator pipeline.

Damn now they're too white guys pick one

I don't get his complaining. Sounds like great people to me. And I speak as someone with Nordic roots, born in Minnesota, who lived in Minneapolis and now lives in Seattle. Many common elements between the two cities...all good. Compassionate, care for others, and may I add: well read.

(My) name checks out

@lowrhoufo.bsky.social hes read our tweets

Yes, one thing Scandinavians are definitely known for is excessive empathy towards black people

As a 50% Swede, I'm laughing my ass off. In fact, I might need a 'Swedish militant' sticker for my Minnesota-mandatory 11 year old trusty Subaru. (Yeah, I tried Volvo, but it was too spendy, and not good enough in the snow!)

Not white enough, I guess. 🤪

He's also still big mad Seattle refused to elect him to our city Council. He used to live in the most Scandanavian part of Seattle (Ballard) up until he got outted as a racist during the city council run and then fled the city.

Scandinavians: Too White for White Nationalism

He went all the way ‘round the mountain for that bs wow.

lets measure their skulls!

Ballard will destroy Chris Rufo.

If that stupid sonofabitch wants to traffic in outdated stereotypes, wait 'til he gets a load of what people in this country used to say about Italians.

Oh shit is Rufo going to war with the Sons of Norway? GL.

"Race-traitors", basically.

Rufo will one day lead the national white purity committee, y’all better stop making fun of him 🙃

"Just say Lutherans, Jack, this is taking forever."

The problem is never unions, organized labour, progressive policies. The problem is always crony capitalism buying political power to figth it. Rather than us scandinavians being the problem, it's you. You let this kind of capitalism emerge, not us.

I would read a @jakelahut.bsky.social dive on the strange politics of anti-Scandinavianism Politically speaking, feels like there's no there, there

I will never understand why anyone pays any attention to that ignorant chud. But there seems to be a thriving sellers' market for his type among right-wingers. Witness: Trump, Musk, Vance, Carlson, Shapiro, Fuentes, Erickson, etc. etc.

Everything on the right is identity politics.

Empathy is bad here? What is wrong with this person?

This is hilarious since not that long ago Trump was bemoaning that Norwegians (for the most part) aren't interested in immigrating to Trump's version of America.

the perfidious norwegian mind

The *Italian* says Scandinavians aren't white enough? There clearly aren't any history books in his vicinity. If there were, they'd spontaneously leap up and hit him in the face.

I'm surprised more observers are not using @colinwoodard.bsky.social's extraordinary (IMO) insights from "American Nations" to explain disparate responses. "Yankeedom" (New England and a northern strip west thru MN) and "Deep South" have fundamentally different founding narratives.

Who doesn’t look at Nordic countries/societies and think, fkc yes, I’d live there! 😬🤷‍♀️😅🤦‍♀️

lmao we cooked his brain so hard he’s brining back old-timey white-on-white racism

Chris Rufo is an imbecile. An impostor. A cheap pseudo-intellectual who the magas believe because he's just a tad less stupid than the rest of them.

ICE learned its WICKED techniques from the Israeli IDF, the world's WORST armed force! #StopISRAEL @osinttechnical.bsky.social @thestudyofwar.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/herb...

Lol! Ctrl-h "Somali" -> "Scandinavian"

Letting all the Irish unionists off the hook, cool. Eejit.

This is hilarious (dark black version) because Trump repeatedly bemoaned not enough Norwegian immigrants… years of these comments here’s one www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Trump bemoans lack of immigrants from majority-white countries to the USEx-president avoided past ‘shithole countries’ racist invective, but said the US hadn’t gotten enough immigrants from ‘nice countries’www.theguardian.com

Another spawn of Satan's turds

Scandanavians are actually too white, it seems.

Wretched squareheads with their empathy and organized labor

Ah there's the actual racism towards other white people

Why doesn’t the U.S. accept more immigrants from countries like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark? - Trump

As a norwegian I can say Chris is an idiot

They're getting so desperate they need to go back to dividing up white people.

This reminds me of an argument between my uncle and grandmother where he called her a stubborn old Norwegian. She was absolutely furious and spat out, “how dare you, I’m Swedish!”

Presumably he watches the Avengers thinking Thor is the DEI hire.

Every single attribute he wants to claim as a negative is exactly why I'm proud of coming from the West Coast. Unions? 👏👏👏 Caring for others? 👏👏👏 Etc etc etc. I love Scandinavians.

There's a family joke on the Scandahoovian side of my family that goes "A Swede is just a Norwegian with a drinking problem, or maybe it's the other way around"

People who come from countries where the weather can kill you are more collectively minded, film at 11.

This helps justify war with Denmark.

How does he explain San Francisco protests?

"over empathizing" lmao what, more of this "empathy bad" from the right wing freaks?

Talking shit about Seattle when he lives in Gig Harbor.

gosh, didn't his big boy Donald say that the US needed more immigrants from places like Scandinavia?

"...and then they came for the Vikings, and I said nothing because notwithstanding their modern reputation for empathy, the Vikings are historically capable of extremely graphic violence and I figured maybe a smart person wouldn't get in the middle of this one."

bsky.app/profile/tomm...

The idea that communists are protesting law and order is my favorite

he’s doing the meme

They will keep drawing the circle of who counts ever smaller. Ultimately seeing themselves on the outside of it.

Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis are basically the three whitest cities in the US. (Boston is also up there.) Bringing in brown people to make themselves feel better is not a "Scandinavian city" trait. Rufo is apparently bewildered by both socialism and Lutheranism.

As if all those behaviors like empathy and coexistence are bad things.

So rufo wants you to be white, but not too white.

Over-empathetic activists? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? If your problem with people is that they're not sociopaths and they get together to tell you you're an awful human then I don't know how to help you. Moreover, I don't want to.

Oh ffs

when i was a kid in seattle, 86-year-old mr. aaro next door would park his green 1977 ford granada just two inches over mr. gregerson's property line and when mr. gregerson yelled at him he would park it three inches over the next day. don't know why i thought of this but anyway. yes. nordic empathy

THE ITALIAN IS DOING 19TH CENTURY INTRA-WHITE ETHNIC RACISM?????????

Somebody measure his head and ask him if Italians are uniquely enthusiastic about fascism
