Many of us know how frustrating it can be to see a friend or a family member succumb to substance abuse; how hard it is to witness the blatant lies, the deliberate self-harm, the unnecessary pain and humiliation… It is a devastating experience. You feel utterly helpless. Caught in a bad dream.
It is just as frustrating, and puzzling – downright bizarre – to watch one’s home country commit suicide for no apparent reason; to watch the cultural death wish, the fawning for religious fundamentalists, the pig-headed refusal to see reality as it is, the gutless grovelling for blue-haired mental patients who claim that any effort to rectify the situation is a manifestation of ”racism”.
How the hell did we end up here?
It is an equally predictable and unoriginal take, but nevertheless true: the political elite, aided by the obsequious lap dogs in the mainstream media did this. They sold us out. Plain and simple. They’ve made such a godawful mess of this once well-organized country that I pray, every time I go outside, that a stage light will fall from the sky. Everyday I wake up feeling like Truman Burbank of the Truman Show. Or worse: like Grampa Simpson of The Simpsons.
I read the papers, I watch the news, I bite my gums and I sputter, furiously:
“HELL IN A HANDBASKET!”
Another bombing. Another shooting. Another sixty cars incinerated in a not-so-mysterious garage-fire south of Stockholm. A couple of small kids hit by stray bullets in a seedy suburb close by. Another kid torn to shreds by a hand-grenade in Malmö. Some guy stabbed 99 times on a bus in Kiruna – a small town by the Arctic circle. Teenagers in Solna, tortured and buried alive in a graveyard – by two demented thugs.
A public lynching in Örebro – involving a former ISIS-terrorist. A 12-year old girl gunned down outside a gas station in Botkyrka. A 10-year old girl beaten to a bloody pulp and raped outside Skellefteå. An 89-year old woman bludgeoned to death in a dirty garbage room in the small village of Norsjö. Apartment building bombed in Linköping, Stockholm, Höganäs, Göteborg and many, many other places, all around Sweden.
A mother and her son butchered at the aforementioned IKEA (in Västerås). A young woman in Halland thrown into an abandoned mine-shaft and practically stoned to death. A young woman in Luleå shot five times in the head over some hubcaps. Innocent bystanders shot and killed by gangsters at a Mall in Malmö and at Farsta City Center. A father gunned down – murdered – in front of his 12-year son after telling a group of teenagers to behave and no, not all of this happened on the same day, but nowadays these things happen every day in Sweden.
What’s the name of that Tom Petty song?
Let Me Up, I’ve Had Enough?
I never fully got what that meant when I was young but I do now; that feeling of wanting to claw through your own shirt, jump up on a table and scream on top of your lungs:
”ARE YOU INSANE?! WHY DO YOU WANT THINGS TO GO ON LIKE THIS!?”
Like Peter Finch in Network:
”I’M AS MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!”
Shouting at the sky from an open window. Like a crazed lunatic.
Although it is not we, the pawns, the normies, the Knorben Sixpacks, that are crazy. Like I said: it is the politicians, the journalists, the sycophantic celebrities, singing and dancing at fund-raisers for whatever demented cause they’ve caught wind of; save the wetlands, save the spotted pangolin, save Hamas… that last alternative wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it’s soon – already – a thing.
A few days after the massacre at Drottninggatan in Stockholm 2017 – where an illegal alien from Uzbekistan drove a delivery van through a crowd of innocent people, killing five, maiming dozens – tens and thousands of Swedes gathered at Sergels Torg (the town square in Stockholm) to form hearts with their hand and sing along to a song called Moving On.
We should have been singing Hail and Kill by Manowar.
Or this one:
But instead: clapping seals. Crazy talk about ”forgiveness” and “turning the other cheek”. I swear, these people will go to their own beheading in a pink burqa singing I’d Like To Teach the World to Sing by The New Seekers.
Listen: it is hard to overstate the devastating social, demographic and cultural cataclysm Sweden has undergone in just the past ten years. I won’t say what the driving force behind all this is – I’ll leave that to your own, racist imagination – but either way future sociologists will study this period in Sweden’s history, scratch their heads and go:
”Seriously?”
They will study, incredulously, how the Swedish people attacked their own society and destroyed it; threw themselves willingly at the sword of “multiculturalism” (i.e limitless immigration). Yes – Sweden (just like Iraq, Nigeria and Uzbekistan) has become more “diversified” in the 2000’s and according to some: ”more exciting”.
That is 100% true – if by exciting you mean being the runner up to Mexico in most bombings per capita (among countries not currently at war). And that recurring ethnic riots, hijacked police cars, bloody mob hits, deadly home invasions and twelve-year-old child soldiers with Kalashnikovs running loose in the streets is something good.
I guess I could lace the rest of this text with sarcasm, but I honestly don’t know if I want to. It’s just too sad, the whole thing. Satire can work as a defence mechanism, as a way of balancing out feelings of bitterness and despair, but the hour is late and my home country is dying. And no, that is not hyperbole. It’s truly going down the drain.
I’ll try to refrain from being too flippant about it.
And yes – I know that many other countries are facing the same dire predicament. France, England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Spain, the US… all have been infected, to the core, by newspeak and doublethink, by crime and “religion”. Everywhere liberals start to howl like rabid dogs when someone points out – however discrete – that this Brave New Inclusive World might not work in reality.
But good ol’ Sweden... the land of assemblable furniture and meatballs, vacuous pop songs and loose women, ”free” (tax-financed) healthcare, ombudsmen, allemansrätt, smorgasbord… I guess I thought we were too boring for cultural self-immolation. I honestly didn’t think I’d see young women galloping around the Capital, protesting… what ever the hell that was about… the period table of elements being racist...there being many too white, male coal miners… I can’t even remember. It has been so much of this unhinged crap.
Either way Sweden has, sadly, been at the forefront of woke insanity. And really: you have no idea how crazy things have gotten here. Because most of you don't fully grasp what a fundamentally safe and well-functioning country Sweden was up until recently. It might sound condescending, but when things go awry in a country like the US it kind of drowns against the historical back-drop of civil war, race riots, presidential assassinations, school shootings, mall shootings, concert shootings, mafia rule, serial killers and institutionalized street violence.
Sweden was never like that.
We’ve had peace and stability for several hundred years. See below a news article from 1970, where a reporter and a photographer followed future prime minister Olof Palme home on election night, and then showed the whole world where he and his wife hid the key to the entrance door.
Yes, Palme was assassinated – sixteens years later – and the killer is yet to be caught. But that was an anomaly. A black swan. Execution-style mob hits and violent crimes in public places has been rare in Sweden. As has Syrian clan-wars and Iraqi “honor-killings”. Social unrest has, by any intellectually honest metric, been minimal.
We have had random acts of spectacular violence, sure: all countries have them. But daily gang shootouts and ethnic conflicts on a major scale… that’s something new, let me tell you. And Swedish authorities are duly stumped, caught completely off-guard by the intensity and blood-thirst of a new generation of criminals that plague, not only the segregated ghettos of Stockholm, but also the bucolic countryside. Machete attacks in restaurants, Arabic and Kurdish women “falling” inexplicably from balconies, mass-stabbings in public squares…
Our police lawmakers can barely keep ut with all the horrific atrocities.
(…and I haven’t even mentioned the persecution of Jews.)
Last summer, a violent conflict between loyalist and non-loyalist to the Eritrean regime broke out in Järvafältet – a heavily segregated area outside Stockholm. A group of Africans – hundreds of them actually – ran amuck in a field and burned a tivoli to the ground.
Good times!
At that point the Swedish public had barely had time to recover from the so-called “Easter riots” of 2022 which was, in reality, an intifada triggered by a public Koran burning. Police officers were pelted with stones, police vehicles were hi-jacked by mobs and driven around like bumper cars.
I shit you not.
This actually happened.
As did a bunch of other completely crazy stuff that Quentin Tarantino would be hard pressed to come up with. It’s gotten so bad here that there’s been talk about bringing in the military to restore law and order. In short: Sweden is an extremely messy country these days. We took on a huge responsibility when we started to accept massive numbers of immigrants (millions) in the 2000’s. People from parts of the world that have little to nothing in common with the liberal, secular, LGBTQ-friendly Scandinavian culture. Why exactly did we do this? Well, f*ck if I know. A small band of political crack-pots, ”progressives” so called, wanted to steer us away from peace and social stability, towards that towering iceberg of ”multiculturalism”.
Because reasons.
And who would have thought: you can’t pour two million people from cultures that are a 1,000 years away from their own version of Monty Python's Life of Brian into a country where sexual liberation and religious iconoclasm is seen as a virtue.
Freedom of speech is strong in Sweden. And in many ways religion is a non-factor. Correction: it was a non-factor – and freedom of speech was strong. Nowadays, religion… and you know precisely which one I mean… is ubiquitous.
It has demands.
It want’s to silence “unnecessary” expressions of dissent. Or just: art.
Add to that: decades of failing “integration”-policies, poverty, ghettos, segregation and hundreds of thousands of “undocumented immigrants” and you have yourself a nice little recipe for cultural and social disaster.
All the while, night after night, state television hammers home its climate agenda and reports on everything that happens in the rest of the world, and less and less on what is actually going on in Sweden.
The frequent bombings and gang shootings are being reported on, even by members of the mainstream media, albeit reluctantly and always with an air of entitled annoyance, as if having to report about facts and reality is an act of public humiliation. And in a sense it is. Everybody knows who is committing these crimes (well not all – but an overwhelming majority), and every legacy journalist wishes she could snap her fingers and make those pesky “explosions” and “loud bangs” (that’s what they call them) go away. These people truly believe “structural racism” is the real problem at hand. And colonialism. And micro-aggressions. Yes, yes, women are being stoned to death in Afghanistan and Swedish mosques are a breeding ground for religious extremism but hey… MANSPREADING. Can we talk about MANSPREADING?!
The murderers, the terrorists, the bomb makers – they are not responsible for their own actions.
They are victims too.
And after all: multiculturalism was meant to work. You know? It wasn’t supposed to be this unending, ultra-violent, chaotic, 24/7 clusterfuck of bomb attacks, shootings, arson and aggravated assaults. Sure, Sweden never asked for ghettos like the ones they have in the US. We didn’t want gang warfare outside schools and in playgrounds, but now we have them and we will have to make the best of the situation. After all, those BLM-riots were mostly peaceful.
Right?
And in he end it is just a matter of how you frame things.

Så outsägligt tragiskt!På toppen sedan olika politikers reaktioner på mordet i Skärholmen, som bara bekräftar allt det du beskriver i din text. Tondövheten kanske bäst exemplifierad av Magdalena Andersson i mötet med offrets syster.
Stäng gränsen. Släpp inte en jävel över Öresundsbron utan att kolla deras bagage, dra in bidragen för ”ortenföräldrar”. Stoppa all anhöriginvandring. Vid asylprocessen plocka ”russinen ur kakan” och välkomna de Sverige kan ha nytta av. Tuffa regler, men de tuffa kan inte bemötas med saft och bullar. (Ok det här inlägget får väl moderatorn plocka bort om det är oanständigt)
