it shut down... a moment in silence for our beloved Sweedish Twitter account...

I see so many problems that could arise from this.......

Not only is this true... but it's occasionally gone, hilariously wrong ;)

@Karen That's what happens when you let just anyone take the wheel for a while :P

@Bropocalypse agreed, but if it were me I would say stupid crap just to be funny

@Bluesamurai let me explain I consider myself a bit of a troll; I don't say really stupid things online but I do make weird, out there statements to be funny. My fact cards are proof of this! Especially the curious George one.

@Karen

Yes well, as you see - we have stupid people in Sweden too, like any other nation.
We just don't discriminate against the stupid, but let them shame us all in front of the world like this.
See how open-minded we are? ;-)

(But I do kind of wished we did discriminate against them, when it comes to things like this actually...)

@Karen ...And there is an @Ireland with the same concept currently held by a Karen. :p

a leftist communist added her own block list and blocked everyone she hated from seeing and commenting @sweden

My favourite of those tweets by Sonja@Sweden:

"Sometimes I just look at my children and think about the time when they had my vagina round their neck."

Oh come now, thats nothing they also have a phone number.

For the whole country..... seriously http://theswedishnumber.com/ it's a real thing.

@sgt_Oddball Why do I find this so funny?

I wanna call Sweden now.

@NorthIreland #9514916
Did you?

@sgt_Oddball lol, are my country secretly trying to se who whould be the best to represent the country's character? XD like, someone that are a bit Neutral and like using computers, someone with a sister, one ex-friend a cousin and a old anemy that he/she is okay with anyways?

Or hilariously right. If you are a boring prude with narrow ideas about Freedom(TM) it might be best not to go to a nation of people who are capable of everything from Viking raids to Eurovision, who think socialism is a great idea but don't bail out flagship companies like Saab.

What could possible go wrong?

@amypisces Some... suspicious tweets about Jews.

@hejsanhoppsan Why we can't have nice things...

as a swede, i'm deeply concerned abou this because that account is part of the swedish image, and some radical who happen to have a twitter account and has no idea about international politics and start spitting agrissive shit against another country and then swedish govermnent officials maybe even the minister of state if it was bad enough, the fact is that sweden depends on it's good image and almost good relation with everyone, hell ikea has stores all over the west, and one major blow to our image aaaaand *BAM* we're out of money, because usually borrow a lot of money, and also if our relations in any gets ruggy destroyed with one of our neighbors we get a security problem because, well, our military is the seize of an ant compared to others out there, but who knows, maybe i'm to paranoid and full of shit

@greenhatter02 Oh don't worry. Sweden has far bigger problems and your government is unlikely to permit anyone who hasn't been vetted for ideological purity in the eyes of the ruling class anywhere near this twitter account.

@FreeYourHate yeah, idk our government is a bit sloppy

@greenhatter02 Only when it comes to important things like maintaining law, preventing the collapse of your society, etc.

I'm sure they'd find plenty of time for this.

@FreeYourHate yeah, that too

@greenhatter02 you are right, we are using the fact that we are very popular, have good relations with other countries and that we have a good image to other countries to ceep going. if someone break that image.... well....

And it has more or less blocked everyone.

It's shutting down soon. RIP

Cool, but dangerous

The current one (2018/05/02) is talking about snow leopards.

That doesen't sound true. We can't just give out our country's Twitter to someone random. They could just write anything they want! That's not Worth the risk!

@EUcomicartist But if everyone knows it's given out to random citizens, everyone will know to not take it seriously

@ZanarNaryon yeah, you are probably right there.

@ZanarNaryon
Internationally speaking, I doubt very much "everyone" would know or remember that. -_-

@Hinoron What if it's in the Twitter bio?

@EUcomicartist
That's happened several times. One of them was some arab who kept writing about how much he hated swedes for the entire week.

@Artacus now some months after I wrote my comment here I've learned more about this and I do belive it now. There is no risk with this really. It does sound fun!

On the bright side, It's only twitter and not.. uhm.... let's say...
...
...
...
The nuclear laucnh codes!

@Lokireloaded Sweden barely has a military let alone nuclear weapons.

@FreeYourHate No Military? Perfect... I mean thats bad!

EACH CITIZEN?
