Too Swedish To Fail

Sweden has become a constant stream of Clown World headlines that truly leave one at a loss to establish a mental context in which to process them. For some aspects of the modern insanity, we can look back to historical precedents, or to thoughtful philosophers and writers. Nietzsche, for instance, foresaw that Europe's abandonment of God would lead to it being caught between the great grindwheels of ideology that rose to fill the vacuum. Orwell gave us predictions of mass in-home propaganda, political correctness, and the conditioned immunity to cognitive dissonance.

But what can be the proper context to headlines like these?

• Sweden: Muslim screams, “We Arabs are here to take over your country,” Swede who insults him gets fined
• 11-year-old girl gang raped in Sweden – Perpetrators walk free and laugh in her face
• Sweden: Elderly residents removed from Stockholm apartments to make room for asylum seekers

What context is there for foreigners to openly declare invasion of a country, and for that country's government to so brazenly side with the invaders? How do you make sense of a people who beg to be invaded and punish any of their fellow countryman who disagree? There is nothing from history. No dystopian author ever imagined such a scenario. The whole concept is beyond bewildering.

Even more stupefying is that Scandinavians are noted for their smugness. How are a people so self-assured of their cultural superiority also willing to let that culture go without a fight? (And that's not even accurate. They do fight - against all who seek to preserve the nation.) Styx talked about just that topic recently. His take is that they are actually so arrogant that they just assume that all who immigrate and are exposed to the superior Swedish way will throw away all their native barbarism and embrace Swedish social norms with full heart and soul. While they can't help but notice that the New Swedes are causing problems, they nevertheless remain baffled because they're already convinced that such an outcome is not possible and that those right-wingers who said otherwise are wrong and just being racist (the worst possible thing). 

The re-assuring aspect - if you're concerned about the self-righteous suicide of the West - is that they haven't lost the will to survive as a people so much as they've become pathologically naive that the glory of their sophisticated progressive society is pre-ordained; that they can behave and believe however they like and the results will be the same. Eventually that hubris will have to be smashed by reality, the urge to spread their culture will transform into a defensive mode, and compassion will be replaced by resentment. Is it racist to opine that Muslims should not move to Sweden? Will, if you had a Muslim friend looking to move there, would you recommend it? The Swedes may be the most invadable people on Earth today, but still they are Viking blood and are not that many generations removed from many centuries of relentless warriors. When the current order collapses, and the post-modern illusion dissipates, Sweden will not be a very happy place for anyone - especially for non-Swedes. It's likely that, eventually, those recently invited millions of foreigners will be evicted or eradicated. Even if they manage to amass enough numbers in time to take control from the native Swedes, they will quickly fall into perpetual internecine warfare between their various ethnic factions.

This may seem like an unlikely scenario given that Swedes today show no hint of backbone whatsoever, but remember that they are forced into silence by a government and media establishment that punish all dissent. The bulk of the people quietly align with the strong horse. Once that dynamic changes, things could shift surprisingly quickly.
