Trudeau and Iceland

http://conservativefans.com/2016/07/26/trudeau-says-hes-moving-to-iceland-if-trump-wins/

"Iceland is the most peaceful country in the world" says Trudeau who then added that it was an ideal place for one to raise his children.

So, it's satire, but a lot of people took it very seriously. Was it created in order to stir discussion about white identity and white supremacy? If it did, well, let's stir the stew and throw some posts why don't we?

96% of the population of Iceland is pure, milk-drinker white. You wonder why there is so much peace? Is it the secular government? The egalitarian society (with authoritarian males, of course)? The hygge? The Norse blood? The fair and just legal system?

Iceland isn't perfect, what with allowing a lesbian to be their Prime Minister and gay marriage, but let's be honestly, it is a paradise compared to Canada and the US. And you might think gay marriage is fine, Iceland is after all, founded on a Christian basis that has been secularized. It is probably better to let homosexuals be happy than have them constantly in rebellion, pushing back against normalcy. I do think that when homosexuality is more tolerated it has less a chance to be fetishized, but I remain against gay marriage. I mean, why? These days, although it still bothers me, I've come to accept romantic relationships between same-sex partners, intimate relationships. Daniel Tammet has a male partner that he has claimed is more like a soft lover (although they are married) than someone to satisfy his lust on. We can argue about Greek ideals of beauty and male love another day, but I think that homosexuality should be about soft love if ever homosociality is just not enough.
