How they indoctrinate you

Here’s another angle about the pointless deaths of Swedish soldiers you should know about.

Have you noticed the headlines and how journalists are writing about the Afghan war? How many words like “blood”, “raped”, “murdered families”, and “suffering children” have you read lately? How many articles have you seen pointing out that women are hurting more today than 9 years ago? How many news reports have you seen about the exponential increase in drug trade? How many pictures, videos and articles have you seen about blown-up children or beheaded families?

Not many eh?

Okay, so now think about what they try to tell you about this dead soldier.

It’s clearly a “tragedy”, the feeling among the other soldiers is “sadness”, and politicians are feeling ”sympathy” and “sorrow” for the soldier’s family. Very soft and comforting words. These are mixed with statistics on how the horrible Taliban have stepped up their attacks seemingly killing the innocent and, of course, murdering brave Swedish soldiers fighting for freedom and puppies everywhere.

This is brainwashing, nothing else, nothing less.

To a point it is also understandable brainwashing. From our masters point of view they need us to be complacent with how things are. From a military standpoint they of course need both public support and motivated soldiers. Journalists cannot really write that Swedish soldiers are helping with the slaughter of tens of thousands for no reason whatsoever. Wouldn’t sound that good now would it? And ordinary citizens partly have an inherited defense mechanism telling them that ‘the others’ are always the bad folk, and partly they feel more for a young Swede killed than hundreds of Muslim families butchered.

So it is slightly understandable, but nevertheless frightening. Well, kind of humorous to.

Ever heard people around you questioning how so many Germans could stand idly by when trains went to holocaust camps? Or why so many, almost voluntary, let Soviet death squads execute them? Well now you know why. You would have done the same. All of you out there who are buying the crap they are feeding us and swallowing the brainwashing, you are exactly the same sorts of people that would have stood idly by when Jews were thrown into camps.

Most of you reading this will of course dismiss my writing - you’ll feel you’ve been Godwin-ed. Also a perfectly understandable reaction. But if you feel it necessary for young Swedish soldiers to fight in a conflict that has nothing whatsoever to do with Sweden, against a supposed enemy that has done nothing to us, half across the world where there’s absolutely nothing for us to gain, what would you call it? Insanity perhaps? Maybe you just want lots, and lots of dead Muslims?

And if we really are there to help, why are women suffering more today than 9 years ago? Why do we protect a regime who wants rape to be legal? Why are we letting drug kingpins in Afghanistan grow stronger for each day that passes? Why are we watching house after house getting destroyed while handing out food rations that hardly would feed a rat?

I find this pretty hilarious actually. We’ve learned nothing from history, and when Sweden for the first time in 200 years is involved in a war, we do so with reasons far shadier than any war before.

Fun, fun, fun…
