Get a room will ya

The two chief puppet masters of Sweden’s largest political parties convened in a debate today.

As usual the Social democrat leader, Mona Sahlin, a ‘female’ (sort of) argued that the “right”-government and her opponent, Prime Mentalist Fredrik Reinfeldt, are cutting taxes for the wealthy and its sooo horrible for everyone else. You know, starving people everywhere, babies getting eaten by rich guys in black hats, and the sky is falling - that sort of thing.

The Prime Mentalist on the other hand said that the social democrats want to tax everything and everybody, and that they will plunge Sweden into darkness. And since the social democrats are relying on communists and tree-huggers to gain power, the lefty’s pointy horns and glowing fierily hell will destroy the beautiful Sweden the Prime Mentalist and his cronies have created during the latest 3000… oh sorry, 3 years.

Me, I watched it for about 10min, just to see if the supposed woman still gets caught by the camera and whether or not the Head-mentalist would have bought himself a new wristwatch (the one he had on the other day, kind of expensive, caused a bit of roar). The political storyline between these two imaginary enemies is always the same. As a former active politician I can recite most in my sleep without watching any theatrical display.

Why can’t they just hug, make up and get a hotel room instead? Well, okay, the prime mentalist has a beautiful wife, but I meant figuratively. What is the real difference between these two and their parties today? Anyone?

I know what respective party’s spokesperson say, and what any indoctrinated member or the four-winged soul killers sitting at Parliament for each party would argue, but really, what is the difference?

The “right” claim to have cut taxes, maybe they have, but have any of you out there noticed it? I mean since they’ve increased taxation on fuel, tobacco, and alcohol at the same time as inflation rages on? I know my parents haven’t noticed any difference. I certainly haven’t. And for the first time the leftie argument of "the right" destroying the economy actually holds. They always say that, normally it isn’t really true, but now with the fictively low interest rates, bail-outs to banks, the housing bubble growing and a growing deficit they do have a point. Maybe that’s the idea? Let the lefties take over an economy in free-fall? Fuck the country, let’s show people how much the left can destroy Sweden if given a chance to rule in a communist-tree hugging-socialist way.

And the “left” are even more useless. The "woman" and her henchmen seemingly think that jobs will be created if they increase taxes with a percentage or two at the same time as they conjure up more government departments. That’s so old. The social democrats have totally died idea wise and when it’s being argued by this woman that even many of their core-voters detest it falls flatter than usual.

So what do THEY really want then?

Well they both want you to vote, they want you to pay your taxes (plus minus one or two HUGE percent), they both want you to be a good little citizen running around in the wheel, they both want you to follow the law, they both want you to be silent and take it, and they both want to save the old, young, poor, unemployed and sick.

Will any of these to ‘alternatives’ change anything?

Oh no, no, no, only adjust, fickle a bit, cut a corner there, build something there. Both want to keep the same system, both want to have the same structure in place. When it comes down to it, the only real change in-between is who will be prime mentalist. I do hope it will be the current one in that case, his version of the stink-hole is slightly less smelly and at least he doesn’t make you regurgitate when you see him.

How much did they talk about the impending financial depression, the slaughter of Muslims in foreign countries, the fascist internet surveillance, and ideology? Nothing. At least not from what I watched or can read afterwards.

If you want to voice your opinion you should look for the alternatives that really will rock the elitist’s world. You see nothing frightens those in power more than to lose their place at parliament or have some pesky newcomer take their seat at any of their countless departments. Sure they will still get some complementary high position within the elitist agenda, but it is not really the same thing.

Vote for the ‘racists’? Sure, I hate those morons, but so do the politically correct and the elitists, so why not? They are evil you know, racist too, they are really “right”-wing, and racist. They are basically exactly the same as the rest, social democrats really, but racist. Oh and did I mention they were racists?

But I hope that enough of you out there cast your vote on the Pirate Party. I don’t really like them either, and it seems like they could use new management, but they at least fight for something that none of the rest do, the right to privacy and individual freedom comes to new technology. They are also cool - ‘pirates’ - I mean come on, you don’t need to love Johnny Depp or watch a lot of porn to like that one.

Too bad there’s no real alternative though. The ‘liberal party’ (libertarians) with their hundred or so votes will hardly make a ripple.

Me? I don’t vote. It’s immoral, and a waste of time. Besides I don’t plan to live in Sweden anyway. I’m getting the hell out, well, further away anyway.
