My translation from Swedish.<br /><i><b><a href="http://antropocene.se/2014/september/pippi-langstrom-och-den-politiska-korrektheten.html" rel="nofollow">”Pippi Longstocking and political correctness </a></b><br />The conformity in Sweden outdoes itself when the politically correct society has given Pippi Longstocking a new father. He is no longer a Negro king but only a king. Now it is not very likely that Pippi Longstocking’s father is a Bantu Negro, Hottentot or Bushman but rather if I recall the story correctly he was appointed king in spite of his Swedish origin for an unspecified African country. Also Pippi doesn’t have any Negroid features but resembles more a kind of energetic Gudrun Schyman [Swedish politician] as a child. <br />However, I have no recollections of Pippi’s mother, so there is space for a more thorough revision in order to satisfy all believing genus-women. Why not replace the whole Negro king with a left-wing and politically correct Pippi-mother who has transferred her maternity leave to a kind and meek husband who stays at home and does the cleaning.“</i>Lars Karlssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158469980966810882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-9717640667382885762014-06-12T14:54:04.758-04:002014-06-12T14:54:04.758-04:00I'm usually opposed to the mainstream.

He is to the right of center in the Swedish political spectrum, but mainly he has a bad habit of accusing opponents of being communist. Any perceived slight is met with vehemence.<br /><br />Recently it was noted on (Stockholm Initiative's blog that a politician from our nationalist party "Sverigedemokraterna" had quoted an opinion article by Bengtsson. Many people there thought it was great that those opinions were mentioned in parliament, but others pointed out that having a member from a generally despised party do it might do more harm than good and hurt Bengtsson's credibility through no fault of his own.<br /><br />As a result Lennart Bengtsson complained that this attitude was "worse than what happened in the Soviet union during the worst persecutions of Stalin" and that he was going to stop writing on the blogg (#116 and #122) here:<br />http://www.klimatupplysningen.se/2014/06/05/gron-logik/#comments<br />(He is not surprisingly back again). This overreaction makes me wonder what the colleagues who wrote to him about GWPF really said.Thomas Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-69878336337869931972014-06-10T09:03:11.261-04:002014-06-10T09:03:11.261-04:00Lennert Bengtsson and his nine lives
