A friend of mine posted this on Facebook, I translated it from swedish. It is a look on how they belive they are open and like to think outside the box, except their box is within a box of the same size.
For context, the Swedish author he mentions is Björn Ranelid, one of Sweden’s most loved writers. I am not sure why his books are popular, but he is likeable and has a language of his own. A few week’s ago he called out the useless politician’s and the complicit media and called them traitors to their country. As they are obviously. The media didn’t approve.
Imagine if declass happens and they get to learn how wrong they are. And about the Holocaust; saving Israel for last?
This is the text:
I can respect different opinions. The absolute majority of them actually. I like when we think differently, and everyone who knows me knows how much I appreciate a good discussion.
Other opinions I can accept, even if they are completely unreasonable and fact-deviating, for example, I am mostly just amused that someone thinks the earth would be flat or that the moon landing is fake.
But then there are opinions that I will never accept, let alone respect. Anyone who denies the Holocaust, or claims the supremacy of the white man, is not only harmlessly confused but even a danger to society.
Anyone who also uses their platform to propagate such heresies, I see it as a duty to try to counteract, where I can. Some examples:
-
An American president who refuses to accept a loss of election and instead incites a riot against the democratic institutions of his own state.
-
A well-known Swedish author who seeks dissemination for the perception that our elected representatives are traitors - and everyone knows what a mob should do with such ...
-
An exalted lecturer who uses his platform to propagate against vaccines and claim conspiracy of the "dark state" in violation of both science and reasonableness.
Of these three examples, it is only in the third that I can possibly hope to make a difference, moving the needle even a millimeter. So then I have to try. I urge you to do the same, in the world around you.
The vaccine has proven itself. The vaccine is the way out of this pandemic, and probably the next time we face a similar challenge. Nothing is more dangerous right now than that we stop believing in science, so tell the antivaxers wherever you come across them. Do it.
Update: Maybe I was unclear. The awakening happens when the election fraud is revealed. When the government is exposed for killing off the elderly intentionally because they cost too much to keep alive. And perhaps not last when the vaccine proves to be worse for your health than not taking them. In the answers to his post people are saying that the vaccine have saved people for hundreds of years, hence they must be safe. As if all vaccines are the same.
I spent six months in Sweden with a girl I met in Canada. She showed me a couple of things that stuck: nobody bother with church; Swedes don't even bother to get married anymore; they used to drive on the left, but switched to the right on one day in the 60s; and the state has to approve the name you want to give your child.
Some people do get married, but you don’t have to, it’s ok to live in sin. I personally am engaged for the third time without getting married, so girls still want to put a ring on my finger.
There is an ”opinion corridor” in Sweden. You are only allowed to express opinions that is within the corridor. Our abortion laws for example are sacred, other countries, especially USA have laws that don’t respect women. The fact that the laws are not the same in every state won’t matter. When I mention late term abortion I am not belived, even when providing links.
I don’t know about the pedo stuff, there have been a couple of cases lately in one of the parties (we have eight), this party used to be right wing, but they won’t side with the ”Trumpists”, so now they are leftwing. Meaning the media didn’t make too much of a bother.
They could absolutely lie about the cases, I don’t trust them, but we have just slightly more deaths than a normal year, most them at the very start of the pandemic when they put people on end of life care. Maybe nefariously, maybe because the health care system collapsed. It was on the edge for a long time before Covid and the large number of cases and not knowing how much worse it would get, pushed the system to the brink.
There is a little sunshine in this, the opinion corridor is subject to change and will do so when deemed necessary. Overnight everybody will change opinion when the government does. This happened last in 2015, when everybody suddenly realised that all people in the middle east can’t move to Sweden. Just two weeks after the prime minister held a speech stating All refugees are welcome. His Europe won’t build walls. The Green party people were crying at the stage, but the border was closed. Well sort of.
