Everyone, please sign the petition linked in Bjorn's description so that we can encourage his publisher to print his books in English. Thanks
Thanks! Yes, that would be nice!
Already did. I encourage everyone to sign so we can enjoy these stories.
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen You given me so much strength and peace, im glad I can do something back
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen what do you use as insect repellant?
Many thanks...a very settling talk for times such as these...a needed reminder
People just be aware that stoicism is not bottling up your emotions and pretending everything is hunky dory. It is controlling your emotions enough that you can still think and use those emotions. Not simply allowing your emotions to drive you without thought.
@mirror shadez if you mean controlled as in turned on and off like a switch... well then you are correct. But they can be controlled in the sense like steering a car or redirecting an overwhelming flow of water that would othwise drown you.
It can be difficult and occasionally seem impossible but with practice it is definately doable.
Those emotions are a form of energy that you can learn to manage and direct productively. I didn't say this is always easy; that's the challenge.
@mirror shadez It's about recognizing what matters. When the ego is involved you'll become offended at things that don't matter so you get emotional because of pointless things. A stoic wouldn't care if someone made an insult or if they made an easily corrected mistake. A stoic would not try to control their emotions if their child died because that would be something deserving emotion for example. Most things do not deserve getting upset about.
It is now fashionable to let one's emotions rule, where life becomes a practical demonstration in chaos theory.
@mirror shadez emotion is a power. It's what drives a thought. It has to be balanced.
The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling. Thomas Sowell
Have you noticed the recent trend where some people say 'I feel that...' instead of 'I think that...'? 😢 'muh feels' - We used to call folk like that 'pussies', I still do. 😊 Haha
Now there's another wise and highly intelligent man!
love Thomas Sowell Its is a study,,,,learning more each time I read it. The Bible towers over... but then that is God.
You all confuse feeling with thinking, just look at how you commented. No new information was learned here, just someone parroted something they probably feel needs to be parroted just about everywhere, for the sake of "making known" what is already plain as day. America was built for this, for making money and integrating into civil society. It breeds the unthinking and ingrains in them a "feeling", all right. A feeling of pride for the wont to improve the money-making capacity of the country.

@Jordan Joestar i was going to say
Or to be like a blacksmith's anvil; no matter how hard or many times it is struck it does not deform.
@Jordan Joestar it is not a single nor a dozen storms that breaks down the stone, but the continuity and persistance of waves throughout a long stretch of time. The individual, in this case the stone cannot hope to stem the tide of time but it can hold its form and maintain its integrity amidst tumultuous times.

That’s one reason Bjorn has a Loyal following .
The main problem is that the left in the U.S. is fanning the flames of revolution. The Communists and the Democrats are behind all of this. They will burn this country to the ground, so they can rebuild their vision of a new America on the ashes of the old. That is the definition of hate. That is what the Bible said would be in the end time. No common affection. Just hate. Vaughn
@Bob Bobbertson You are absolutely correct. We have to resist, or they will roll right over us. The left complains and accuses the right about what was done to the Native Americans. Two thirds of the Native Americans died of disease. The rest died from war or dislocation. We all know this. So 100 million died in 300 years. I am not trivializing that. The communists killed 100 million of their own people in less than 100 years. If anyone trusts the left they are crazy. A snake is a snake. Their god is the old snake Lucifer. Communism is like a giant constricting snake that will crush you and eat you. Resist we must, or we will surely perish. Vaughn
David Messer the remaining Native People largely live in squalor and hopelessness and you don’t see the leftists ( left-overs) worried over that. Oh yes, they protested at Standing Rock, but when that lost its shine, off they went, leaving them worse than they started.
Everyone not in a major city right now is very lucky
Everyone outside U.S.A.
Sucks living only 20 minutes away from Boston. I need to move to somewhere rural.
I've never been so thankful to live in my quiet rural community than I am now. Instead of rioters and protesters I see deer and foxes from my living room ❤️

I love camping and nature, so perfect
Not just right now, but always... City life sucks, it is much better to live on a small village preferably surrounded by nature.
I agree, we cannot speak rationally to emotionally irrational people. God bless and keep you well. You are calming voice in an inflamed moment in history.
I think you mean gods bless him.
@@misterfixie6003 I don't think Laura Fontenot intended any disrespect, but I hear you. I have my Gods and Goddesses that bless me every day. I often will say to someone "Brightest Blessings to you" but I don't mean in a Christian way. My friends who are christian do not take offense.
@@misterfixie6003 no GOD bless him GOD bless the good ones
Thank you for your calming words. I have felt so full of anger about what is happening in my country, I have felt so much despair that I no longer wanted to live. I have uninstalled most of the social media because I don't want to know about the horrors that make me so angry. I have lost my love for most of the human race, and I used to love everyone. You have helped me to be more stoic, and with this I will survive. Thank you so much.
Thank you for being a source of help and comfort! Stay strong!
Stay calm and please understand there are more of us than we realize who haven’t lost our minds to this madness. Align yourself with those people and forget the rest.
We are surrounded by the digital zombies. We are the few of the living...but we are not alone.

@@logoseven3365 Yes! It's not an exact quote, but I remember him saying something like that.
@@danielk8149 Thank you Daniel, I forgot I had even asked that!
The ancient Romans were stoic, but when the SHTF they came out swinging in full force...
Stoicism means accepting what cannot be changed. When the Romans went to war, they were warriors.
The left are just doing what America was built for...making money and integrating into civil society. It's all right there in their constitution. People can't deal with this simple and plain reality. They definitely aren't Stoic, because they can't even comprehend where they are at, and why...no comprehension, no stoicism. Stoicism isn't just a state of mind, or a "power concentrating", it's a philosophy about how to look at the world and what to view it as.
We're ok. We live out in the woods. Keeping to ourselves and away from the uproar.
We were born at the right time. We are needed now.
Be a guiding light to our lost civilization.
Inspiring words. Here in America I will fight to my last breath before I let tyranny take over and ruin everything I love. Even if I’m alone, I will never give up.

Same Bjorn always has great videos full of logic and common sense!
Haha I already did.
That's the first thing that I always do. Then I listen to what he has to say. Vaughn
Yes indeed always enjoy Bjorn's videos!!! Great video!!
Because that’s smart
I just started listening to the ancient stoics three days ago and it has calmed my mind and set my attention on a much better course. Your timing is perfect!
I must look for those readings! Thank you for sharing.
i just read a book by Eddy de Wind which he wrote in Auschwitz "Last Stop Auschwitz" which he managed to survive later becoming and Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst and he believes the survivors developed a syndrome bring reconciled to death which he wrote an article about in 1968 . This condition seems most certainly to have required a stoic mindset . A good but harrowing read.
@@mhpupacios Have you read Viktor Frankel?
Carol Erikson no I have not but I just googled him - seems a similar path taken after surviving it- his Search for meaning sounds interesting though. I was given the Eddy de Wind as a present as I usually read Christian Orthodox spiritual books - some ancient but some inspired by the authors survivals and their time under communism
Thorlove, can you suggest a good place to start reading or listening to the ancient stoics? Thank you!
Here in the United States.. Dealing with Anarchy in the streets... Red States: It won't be tolerated. Blue States : It's a summer of Love.
So thankful I live in Tennessee and have lots of guns 🤣
@@KatNoir1313 Same, except I'm in KY.
What you been facing is not the shadow of anarchy, is the violence before communism, the communism is the pinacle and the reason of this violent riots. Anarchy is just absence of government not absence of order. In fact, USA was founded by a liberalism movement which is the abscence of governmnet in human relationships, you need to come back to that, return the personal responsability to the people and not give more and more of it to the government by the excuse of social inequalities which is an absurd because all of us are different, we've been facing the same absurdness but with different reasons (rich vs poor) in México with the communist shithead we have as president, he had been rising social division every day saying that all the suffering of the country is by there are successfull people who does not care about the loosers (even when the people is paying almos 50% of their income in taxes), is the government of loosers. Take care of your country, this leftist shitty counteroffensive is globalwide and is hitting in all the countries at the same time.
Us on the other hand over here in the UK don't have guns. Wish we did, getting crazy here to, BLM & Antifa destroying statues and monuments and Patriotic people trying to defend them getting it from both ways, Police are attacking patriotic protesters but allowing the Marxist scum to run rampant.
@@KatNoir1313 same here in Utah 🙌
Thanks Bjorn from the U.S. I hope you are well in Norway. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you, William. Yes, we are fine.
I live in a big city where there were riots every night for over a week. I heard ATM machines blowing up just blocks from my house. A lot of our stores are still closed and some probably won’t reopen. I was raised by a policeman growing up and I will always be proud of that. Thanks for the lovely talk.✌️❤️
You sure can be proud! Hang in there, stay safe. T.
somehow the most chill i was over the last months was when i made my food ready and watched the new videos from you while eating. what else can i say. Thank you
And thank you!
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen Hey Bjorn, I have to ask if you have some sort of spam detection filter, because I am trying to reply to people with statistics and studies.. especially some guy who tried to call you a racist, but my comments won't show. If you could let me know, I'd really appreciate it because I think RUclips is censoring my comments.
Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" is what i really want to see in schools program. But... you know the deal.
Its time to take the children out of these indoctrination centers and parents with proper knowledge need to educate their children :)
Education has been conquered by communist insurgents.
Homeschooling is the only way to guarantee your kids grow up unindoctrinated by waves of Marxism
We also need to stop putting the onus on other people. Don't complain about what they learn at school if you don't make an effort to help broaden the kids minds. I give Meditations as a gift to kids I know when they graduate middle school.
Why leave it to a "School" - read and discuss it to your own children ! The "Education" system is "indoctrinating" children, it's up to individuals to open your children's eyes when it's reasonable to "The Enemy" within. It'll be the most valuable lesson you could ever teach them.
I self-taught with books like this, and don't count on school, self-education is the best form of education
I'm starting to grow a hard shell when it comes to racism. At 32 years old I've experienced enough. Now I'm stoic.
Bjorn reminds me of an adult Viking version of Mr. Rogers. Brings me such peace to hear his messages!
Thanks for being refuge from the storm. 🌀
Stoicism is a great mindset. I appreciate being taught it so much from my folks and grandparents.
Stoicism is a great philosophy that everyone should implement into their lives, but being stoic doesn't mean you shouldn't react to outside forces. Like, I'm not angry when I shoot the man trying to rob me.. I did so out of survival.
In my humble opinion, stoicism doesn't mean not having or experiencing emotions. Stoicism means you channel those emotions into something positive. When something makes me angry, I don't bottle it up, but I most certainly do not give the person who angered me the satisfaction of knowing they angered me. I take my frustrations to the gym and channel those emotions during my workout.
Congratulations on the gun control....
All people should be armed and educated. The indoctrination people go through is the problem imo.
President Bolsanaro of Brazil says an armed people can never be enslaved.
@@shoshanafox727 I agree with President Bolsonaro, however, Brazil does not have favorable legislation for the release of weapons. This country's law is very lenient.
I've been trying to rid myself of anger and hatred for what's going on by ignoring it and focusing on other things. I realized this is wrong because I'm shirking my duty as a citizen. I have to fight back against the evil I see in the world without becoming consumed by hatred. This is exceedingly difficult to do, but such is the life of the stoic.
You remind me of a time in my childhood when I would watch Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, so calming and great life advice. Thank you for bringing people back from the edge of losing their humanity.
Mr. Roger's was a weirdo.
Stoic. I've had a negative definition of that word since a young man. Only now when I'm older does it make sense. Thank you for putting the summer of hate in perspective. Write on.
Crazy times,indeed. It is, Indeed, a culture war. IMO, they are trying the Russian Revolution version 2.0. Greed,jealousy and anger have led to this.
Stoicism is needed in times like this.
Be well and be safe, Bjorn.
I think a culture war is accurate, however there is also a war on imposing of the will on others for Control.
markus Olson racism in America is our original sin. It was there even before we became a country. The vast majority of people demonstrating in the United States are doing so peacefully and it is their constitutional right. The violence is a byproduct by opportunistic forces ranging from common thieves and agitators from the far left and far right. They are in the minority and when the press focuses on them it invalidates an important Movement attempting to rectify an unjust culture.
@@jamesmiller3548 opportunists and far wing people ,indeed. Most of us do not support it, but it's what the media wants us to see. I do not support racism, neither do I support the rioters. Peaceful protest is one thing, willful destruction of private property and looting is something else.
Practically no one on the far right is looting these stores. Get your facts right before you accuse someone.
@@jamesmiller3548 racism is dead. The people claiming its still alive want it to be. Its often said by people from failed communities (black) and virtue signaling Whites.
“The summer of hate” is a fitting name for what has been happening recently. Stoicism is a good way to go. They really should teach people about stoicism in schools. Life can be tough. We all need to learn how to handle the difficulties we face. Thanks for the talk.
I realize this is an old video, but American schools are indoctrinating your kids; it's probably far worse in Europe, Canada, Australia. I also find it funny, at least here in America, people want the schools to teach their kids everything and they take zero damn responsibility for being their child's teacher in the sense of teaching about life. Americans are the most helpless, lazy people on earth. They care far more about their kids travel ball clubs than they do their education. It's why the Asians and Asian Americans are kicking the crap out of the Western world economically (and it will only get worse) and educationally. We are too spoiled, too lazy, and care too much about peripheral issues that don't matter.
I'm 52 years old here in America. It's very embarrassing to say but i don't ever recall anyone through my school years ever even say anything about stoicism. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I will be adding that into my journey in life.
Im out in the boondocks now,even camped out,weird moods out here ,but safe so far

Greetings from switzerland
Good to see you again Bjorn! Therese are really messed up times we are in. I have been taking your lessons on Stoicism to heart, also been reading the Havamal and also Meditations. Once one takes a step back and you see things with calmer eyes it is unbelievable how much emotional incontinence there is and how many weak "authority" figures there are. Through all this I have lost much respect for many across the political and social spectrum.
it is quite freeing to have more control over emotions, you see things you haven't seen before and therefore you gain more wisdom.
Your back I looked and looked for you. So good to see and hear you again.
"this is not the summer of justice, this is the summer of hate" thank you. Very precise.
I have been in the thick of this. I'm a security guard in my capitol. We luckily only had a few days of rioting, but on the worst day I had to guard an apartment complex downtown with my armour, handgun and longgun (US if it isn't apparent to you. Haha). It's a strenuous place to be, my painting hasn't been happening due to more work, and I have mostly been sleeping and then working. But, I will say, my stoicism had helped me immensely during this time. It's kept me from adding fuel to the rioting by acting poorly in my position. It's helped me rationalize my mindset and keep myself sane. There isn't a whole lot I can do to change what's happening, or give myself breathing room, but I've been able to keep a relatively level and happy attitude thru it all.
Takk, Bjørn! I do fall into the category of person that expects others to react rationally - TAKK for the reminder that "common sense in not common knowledge"! Reacting with anger just feeds the haters! If the members of your Tribe all take a big breath and release a simultaneous SIGH - we might be heard!
Hello from the US! Thank you for this video. We aren't watching any news or TV, can't even watch movies right now. We are gardening, praising and knowing God has a better plan. Blessings to you and your family today. Stay safe!
@Caramel Johnson thanks...we are aware and prepared just not immersed in the violence and propaganda. You stay safe!
Thankyou Bjorn from England, I hope you, your family and your gorgeous dogs stay safe in the Norwegian countryside 💚
I love having coffe with you. I do it most of the week. I am sending you all the best to you and your family. I also am going to share on FB. Greetings from Germany.
Not virtue signaling.
I stopped watching the news over a year ago and it was the best decision I ever made.
The farther you get away from it the easier it is to see the division anger, fear and despair they are trying to push.
I appreciate the time you take to share your thoughts. God bless you.
Thank you, Big Pete Bear!
Thanks. I truly appreciate your perspective.
This is a great class you have given👍. I have reached a point where anger and dissappointmemt are toxic and counter productive. There is point, your anxiety increases and everthing gets so overwhelming you don't know what do or how to stay calm and have lucid mind. Stoicism is certainly a great help to contain hate and dissappointmemt. Thanks again for the great video🙏
Stoic calmness, great concept 👍🏽
I used to be stoic. I lost my stocism. Ive been listening you to relearn it. My life was easier when I had it. You retaught me to, to only worry about what I can control which is me. I need to release my desire to control everything.
I think you are 100 % right. I live in Columbus, Ohio . Our down town looks like a war zone .God bless.
In America only big cities run by Democrats are rioting, looting and pulling crap down.
In Republican run cities especially in the country...nice and peaceful.
Thank you Bjorn, I know where you are going with this.
Bjorn, I never really expected ur videos to be anything that I would be interested in watching for more than a few minutes. I was wrong, and now look forward to them. Your calmness, wisdom and common sense in these tumultious times are so welcomed. Keep on keeping on.
No one wants to face the truth.
Some have died for the truth. Everyone is not afraid of truth.
@@davep2999 my first comment to this video was the truth and it was removed. My response which is above was not.
@@deltapapa1658 I understand. Did not know that.
Yup. Face the truth or virtue signal then pat yourself on the back...
THANK YOU BJORN FOR THE WISE INSIGHTS ! AND FOR BEING AN HONEST MAN ;)
These are the hard times that will create the strong men we will soon dearly need.
Prepare for strife, hope for peace and be slow to anger. Don't let emotions lead you
Soon we shall be ready to die for the king, motherland, our country and creed and all that other bullshit, my lord
I totally agree. It is about culture, not other things, and masses tend to lazily let someone else think for them (the ominous level of work division we have reached, we have someone to grow our food, someone to tailor our clothes, someone even to thinks our thoughts).
Stoics are the stone pillars in this wobbly house caught in the storm.
"if they are wrong, teach them. If you can't teach them, endure them" - Marcus Aurelius.
Brofist to you Bjorn, and to all stoics all around.
As you predicted a while ago....
You're correct, Bjorn. I think it is generational, too. These are basically 30 year old children, who want what their parents have without having to work for it. The culture is "entitled" - " you owe me, I want, and it is your job to provide, like mommy and daddy. " Terrible.
I stand with you Bjorn!
Thank you. Hearing you say that people are not sensible and are instead, governed by their emotions has helped me so much in accepting human behavior. Thank you
Ah, the voice of reason. If only it would be heard and understood more often nowadays...
Starting safely contained campfires in the woods: unacceptable!
Starting uncontrolled fires in private businesses: This is fine.
I will quote:”Stoicism wants to wall the self off from negative/destructive/unproductive emotions, espouses that virtue is the sole key to happiness, and that philosophy can't contribute to something beyond the scope of one individual. As Christians we believe that suffering is necessary and inescapable, even redemptive; that the deepest happiness comes from a personal relationship with God beyond ourselves; and that all humanity is one body”.
When I took early retirement people said I was crazy and I'd be bored and have nothing to do except stare at the four walls.
When I then moved to live in the countryside people said I was crazy because I'll miss the convenience of city living.
When I drilled a well people said I was crazy because it was much more convenient to be on a mains water supply.
When I started growing my own food people said I was crazy putting all that effort into growing when I can get it so cheaply in the supermarkets.
I may be crazy...............but I'm not stupid.
Too many in the US who have never hard a real job. A shovel would kill 90% of the college students.
I really love you Björn, you remind me what is important in our world.
If we bow down to them, we are finished!
Thank you Bjorn ! I enjoy your vidoes very much ! It is great to see someone so in touch with their inner peaceful place !
Much respect from South Australia 👍
The riots/protesters are motivated by my status also. Class war. They want what they haven't earned.
I believe so strongly on the content that you are bringing to us with past present and future videos, that my husband and I just became members. I thank you so much for all your work.
Solar eclipse June 21. Things will be changing
What time and where?
The next solar eclipse is 14th of December, the eclipse in June is 2021 in the UK
Saturn in Aquarius to blame.? All this unrest is unsettling me, I sense it in the air. I saw this all coming like this man in feb. Second wave I December? What do you think?
Nothing like sitting around a campfire, cooking food on an open fire, life away from nonsense, I’ve been watching many bushcraft vlogs, excellent
Götterdämmerung
Hoffen wirs.
You talking about nature reminded me of two quotes, both by Lao Tzu, whom I read along with many of the Stoics...
The first, regarding nature: Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
The second, regarding hate: Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Be safe, Bjorn. And thank you for making these videos.
calm, stable, logical, measured, and stoic. Separately how about a pocket book on Norse wisdom ?
Good idea!
What about rigid and tense, prone to violent outbursts and human sacrifice?
I was paid a complement many years ago. I was called a Stoic. And considering I've had rheumatoid arthritis since 13 years old. I guess practicality was my teacher. And I am 68 with RA, Leukemia, and in May I was in an accident that resulted in a broken neck and paralysis. So stoicism has kept me focused enough so I can walk again, well at least working to that goal. I don't know the reason stoicism is considered to be a bad thing, but it has worked for me.
Peace be with you.
My Viking Brother Bjørn I agree that hate shouldn't be our ways of life ! This world needs kindness !
Thank you for this video & I agree also that it is HISTORY repeating its self !
This has happened before with riots & mobs of people reacting !
Sincerely,
Little Viking Brother Paul~
Bjorn, thank you so much for what you do. Your voice is one of the strongest and steadiest out there on the topics broached in this video.
Just watched your video from 4 years ago on Stoicism. I am dealing with the death of my sister, and these two videos have helped me realize that “I don’t have to feel everything.” Thank you so much.
Thank you for making these videos, I love how each one of them have there own lessons to learn from, they really help me out a lot. You're a very wise man and don't let anyone try to tell you any different. Keep up the good work and stay safe my friend.
I’m in Australia, and even I have escaped back to nature, in the forests and woodlands, amazing clarity of mind, fresh air, animal sounds, the REAL world
Absolutely!☺️
Thank you for this Bjorn, we all needed this talk, I have shared this, cheers !
What a refreshing and reasonable attitude you have Bjorn. I appreciate your videos a great deal. Love from the USA!
Thankyou. You are bringing like minded people together, in these crazy times.Which is what this world needs. Stay stoic. The good people salute you sir.😊
Hello from Seattle, WA. I appreciate hearing a perspective from outside the US. I don't have anything to add to the conversation. I just wanted to thank you. Thank you!
You make more sense than I have Heard in my own Country ,thanks so much. I loved your last video all so keep up the good work.🙏
This video, like your others is Art. You are an artist because beneath your stories and opinions there is depth, calm, and truth. Thank you from the United States!
I'm definitely not a socialist!! I do believe in giving back or paying it ahead. Poverty isn't a one generation problem. We all know someone who won't work. That's not poverty, his kids and grandkids experience poverty. Lack of goals and leadership. We have a responsibility to step in and direct. Lots cheaper to school and train, provide jobs than police and imprison. Our policing policy has become out of hand. Brutality is not helping. I'm an old white woman scared to go to our closest" big town" for fear of police assault. New police chief, now thugs for cops
I’ve missed you Bjorn! Need these calm peaceful videos now more than ever
There is a weird dichotomy of living in the woods but having so many people watch you.
Love your videos
Thank You Bjorn! I live in the woods here in Pennsylvania and I am indeed being stoic through all that is going on. I also feel very blessed to live in the woods when so many are penned up in apartments in cities and dealing with small businesses and stores being burned out. They are destroying their own neighborhoods and stores they depend on. But the rioters are paid outsiders. So we shall see how it all turns out. It isn't about race. It's about others who's goal it is to start riots. Thanks Again Bjorn! Blessings to You and Family, which most certainly includes the Dogs! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
As always I enjoyed chatting with you. I ding your videos mentally stimulating but in a very calm way. I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and doing so in a rational manner. I also really love the natural environment that you use to film the videos in.
Stay safe and I look forward to your next video.
How we've all needed your words and another video in this crazy time. Thanks again Bjorn for being a voice of reason and sanity
Thank you, Sebastian.

„If you get frustrated by their behaviour, it’s because you expect them to be sensible people“ Bjorn.
let’s expect more from our selves, let’s be the change we wanna see.
And in 2020 the whole world should fight against people killing people,(together) like we actually doing it against COVID-19.
If some decided to be quite in a situation of injustice against every human being, this is someone who is supporting it.
Much love and Respect from west Africa.

Thank you for your calm and stoic talk.
Thank you Bjorn. Stay safe, stay stoic.
ALWAYS so good to hear from you. Thank you for a helpful perspective on things. Cape Town.
The terrible things going on in the world were having an impact on my well being. I have had to take steps to distance myself from the news. I don't have a television set, I get my news from the internet particularly social media. I have unfollowed, unfriended, and deleted a lot of people that I don't want to hear from. I have had to do this to protect myself. It was all becoming too much. Now I concentrate on me and what makes me happy. Thank you Bjorn for your videos. Best wishes, ilona
Great video. Thanks for the positive message. There are a lot of us over here in the US that are completely torn up about what's happening.
I love your logic and often simplistic approach to many things. This approach to life is unfortunately obscured to most people. Thankyou for sharing this quality time.
I needed this video today. Thank you Bjorn.
Bjorn, your videos have helped me more than you could ever know. You’ve helped me understand what it means to be a strong man, a rational thinker, and to appreciate my heritage. You’ve been a great mentor to me and so many others. Skål from Minnesota.
Funny Bjorn.. in Seattle we have 6 square blocks taken over by antifa, blm, anarchists...in the middle of a business district. No police allowed. These people have blocked off the area..kinda like Trump wants a wall... think about that...the Mayor of Seattle calls it a “Summer of Love”. these people have their own armed guards especially at night... surrounding the area... the business owners in the area...well they can just put up with it or leave right...SUMMER OF LOVE....yea.. in Seattle. Black is yellow and white is green...last night in the Capitol Hill/Seattle autonomous zone or Chaz..what they are calling it.. they had speakers...one speaker ask all white people to give a black person 10 dollars... and said if you have trouble doing that just wait you are going have a difficult time when its time to give up your house and land...iAm not sure your “down” with the movement... just think about that.
